Fire and Ice campaign (Hai-Genti), Heart of Darkness (Mission 5) progress bug

Skip to the next mission[citation needed]

While in-game you will get an objective to go to a location indicated on the psi-map. Once there an in-game cinematic will play and more often than not the next objective will fail to initialise leaving you stuck in a level that is unwinnable. If this happens you can try the mission again and hope you don't trigger the same bug, or you can type iwinagain to skip to the next mission.
