I am unable to play skirmish or enter battlescape in campaign. The game does not find any of my save games and always starts as though it's the first time. If I select a language, it will ask me again on next load.

Attached is my ufoconsole.log. I did the following.

1. Load game
2. Attempt to load skirmish game, kicked to main menu.
3. Look at campaign saves to load, nothing there.
4. Start new campaign, make base, load soldier equip screen.
5. Wait for UFO to land, go to site. Click Enter Mission.
6. Mission remains on screen but I don't enter it.
7. Quit.

can you please enter "fs_info" to the game console and paste the output here?

also - you are sure that you have a game.dll in your base/ directory, no?
