Bug Description

bug occurs in the USA campaign: the missile that should launch instead remains stuck on the launch platform. The game is a clean install from Steam, and I am using the latest build from the weekly release (today’s build). This bug always occurs regardless of the selected difficulty level. In the original version of the game, this issue did not occur.

Reproduction Steps

Start a new USA campaign (any difficulty).
Watch the intro cinematic at the start of the mission.
Observe that the missile stuck on the launch platform instead of launching.

To make absolutly sure this is a SH issue, have you tried to launch the original steam version en make sure the missile launches there?

This happened to me too. What I noticed was that the missile does not "shake" on the launch pad during the "camera pan up" movement, it only shakes during the "flyby of the launch tower" camera movement.

This bug is certainly introduced by us.

Script parsing bug?
