When I access the newprofile xml and go down to those three lines the value is already zero. I put a 1 in those three lines, booted, then put them back to zero but the false progress is still there. Additionally, I do not have an Asian Dynastises folder in my files:
Confirmed this happened when the game crashed for me. Had to use âThis Is Too Hardâ cheat to get past âPIRATES!â
Thank you for the help!!! 
Using the cheat let me pass through the PIRATES! mission but the fake progress in the indian campaing still the same.
I also have beat the PIRATES! mission again to avoid any conflict regarding to the achievements, but the problem persists sending me to the âCompany confrontationâ mission from the indian scenarios.
We could use some help from the guy who code the sourse to adjust some values.
Iâm dissapointed and I donât kow if I should ask for a refund. 
Hi BrotherRay9277,
I also donât have an Asian Dynasties folder in my files.
I will also share you my newprofile file, so you can test out what happens if you replace yours with mine(Make sure to make a backup of your own, just in case!)
here is my file(itâs in the Google Drive):
Step 1: Navigate to C:\Users\MainAcount\Games\Age of Empires 3 DE\76561198057049427\Users and replace your newprofile with mine.
Step 2: Boot the game and check if it changed anything.
Hope this helps you!
Yours Truly,
MainAkkount
Hi @Moteados,
Did you also preform my earlier tutorial, see Step 8. If you scroll up you will find another tutorial which should take away the progress in Asian Dynasties, but keep your progress in Blood, Ice and Steel. If you canât find it, ill quote the post for you 
Yours Truly,
MainAkkount
When I put your file in it shows a different home city and campaign progress, but when I open the file there are still zeros for campaign progress in your file. You have actual numbers right? It seems like campaign progress is being saved elsewhere for me. I thought maybe through my xbox live account somehow, but then why would it change when I drop in your file? Itâs really baffling.
EDIT: I just noticed when I put your file in it changed the continue mission to âchanging the guardâ from the Indian campaign even when I put my file back. Again, bizzare and I canât logically think why that would be happening.
File:
My file has these numbers(ther dots shouldnât be there, but the Forum doesnât display the lines without them):
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignselectedâ>0</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignprogressâ>8</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignfarthestâ>8</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignprogress1â>0</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignfarthest1â>0</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignprogress2â>0</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignfarthest2act1â>0</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignfarthest2act2â>0</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignfarthest2act3â>0</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignshownhcnoteâ>true</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignshownhcnote2â>false</Setting.>
<.Setting Name=âgamecampaignshownhcnote3â>false</Setting.>
This is what it says for me:
Sad to see that my fix doesnât seem to work, I had good hopes, but it seems there is more going on than I thought at first.
Happened to me also. After completing the Pirates mission I got switched to Asian Dynasties.
Reloaded the mission and used the cheat. Received the correct mission on second try
I just thought Iâd throw in my bit of information cause I had this bug occure as well but not quite in the same way as the rest of you. I have not actually finished âPirates!â yet, instead I started the mission and then decided to play it later and closed out of the game. Then, I came back to the level the next day via clicking the âContinueâ button on the Main Menu (not through a save file) and then the bug occurred as everyone else has described it including that when I then quit out of the mission I had the Indian Campaign mostly unlocked/completed. I only bring my situation up because I was wondering if maybe the âContinueâ button may be the cause of the issue?
âSOLVEDâ thanks to @MainAkkount, follow the tutorials above and donât use the cheat, worked in my case, read below for details
I canât remember exactly what happened but I think I went to continue into the 4th or 5th mission in Act 2 âIceâ of the main game and it displayed a loading screen talking about Delhi and featured an Indian character.
The next cinematic âHeaded Westâ loaded correctly, sort of, it did the same softfreeze thing, stopped progressing after a shot of John and Kanyenke running through some daylit grass, similar to the âReunionâ cinematic bug that Iâve seen has already been reported, so I then closed the game and rebooted to latest mission that I had unlocked in âIceâ (skipping the cinematic).
After finishing that mission and the clicking through the âYou Are Victoriousâ splash, another Indian loading screen displayed, which then loaded me into an Indian level. Closed out of the game and rebooted, went into story mode to see that I had 32% completion in Asian Dynasties and the entire India section completed/unlocked, when I havenât even touched anything other than Act 1 and 2 of the main game.
EDIT!
Under Blood, Ice And Steel where it says Continue, it loads with the Indian loading screen as Iâve mentioned, it then loads into âRespectâ correctly⊠even though Iâve just spent the last hour playing through that mission. Iâm not gonna play through it again to test it but I assume it would do the same thing that it did before and others seem to be experiencing, loading the final Indian mission.
Followed the 2nd tutorial above and when using the âThis is too hardâ cheat in Respect, it progresses correctly to the next level involving Warwick, however all my cards are gone, as well as my home city improvements and XP with my level set back to 1. I can go back to previous levels and all my improvements etc are still there, but as soon as I get to Warwicks Stronghold, itâs all reset to 0. Thought this might be a feature of the game but looking at old playthroughs on YouTube, that doesnât seem to be the case.
EDIT 2:
Decided to blitz it through âRespectâ without using the cheat and I progressed through to âWarwicks Strongholdâ with all my progress intact. So in my case I can confirm that after following the above 2 tutorials, some extra time and maybe some other fidling around, Iâve managed to progress normally, keep my home city progression and reset my Asian Dynasties progress, thanks MainAkkount <3
Iâm also experiencing this bug. I hope it gets fixed soon
PS. Whatâs the best âTL;DRâ solution for now?
Hi YouSeaSwim,
I think the best solution is following my tutorials and to take what CJBA1LEY into consideration
That is indeed a possibility
Thought Iâd just tag this on too, but when I went to do MainAkkountâs tutorial here to reset my Asian Dynasties progress these were the values already in that folder. 
Negative values in this section are probably a big no no.
Found another thing I wanted to tack on.
Are you sure youâre in the Campaign Settings? The values for the current campaign mission are in every section of the file (including multiplayer settings) and they should be zeroes everywhere but in the Campaign Settings so make sure youâre in the Campaign Settings section.
@MainAkkount I managed to fix my ability to progress using the cheat code and was able to reset my Asian Dynasties progress but upon loading the backup I was unable to recover my Home City progress.
I did a pre order to play the campaign and now more than 1 week after the launch this bug is still there, this is unacceptable
Hello everyone! A potential fix for several campaign issues were integrated with Thursdayâs update (3552)! If you are still experiencing this particular issue, please let us know ASAP so we can take a closer look at why this specific scenario is skipping to the incorrect mission.
Thank you for all of your reports!
I retried the mission and it allowed me to progress properly. tyvm
