There a widely known bug in Age of Empires II: HD Edition which causes subsequent campaign missions not to unlock. The issue can be bypassed by starting a new game and using cheat codes to unlock levels, but cheats disable at least achievements and the method is highly inconvenient to use as missions have to be treated in chronological order. I encountered this glitch early on and expect that the incident isn't necessarily a one-off occurrence.

Is there an alternative solution?

At the time of writing the bug hasn't been fixed (all patch notes).

  • Unless they've patched it, I've gotten the campaign completion achievements by using cheats and then beating a random map game

  • @BenCraig: Do you mean finishing not-completed levels after using cheats? That's good to know.

  • Er, I mean I got the campaign achievements by beating the campaign with cheats, and then when I played a normal game I got the campaign achievement

Just delete your current profile and make a new one, that's the only fix I know. You can use the "i r winner" cheat to quickly go back where you were before. Don't worry, if you completed every single level without cheat, you will get the achievements (worked for me). Just i r winner those missions/campaigns that you already done before.

  • This is not new information, I told about cheats in the question.

    @user598527 I believe the user is saying that cheats only disable achievements for the current level, aka if you use the "I r winner" cheat to get up to the level that failed to unlock you'd still get achievements for beating it

  • Deleting the profile may not be necessary now.
