If you see people at the bar, but can't click on them, it may be a bug. (Also, make sure they are part of the campaign, and not freelance bounty hunters etc.)

If that is the case, someone can look at your savegame if you attach it.

You can find your savegame file in Windows by looking in the Vegastrike Program Files directory. Inside there is a folder with ".vegastrike" (with a dot before it)

In Linux and Mac , the .vegastrike will be in your home directory.

Then, in the .vegastrike you will see a "save" folder.
Inside the "save" folder, look for your latest saved game, zip it and attach it here or email it

It sounds like maybe you already accepted the mission. If you accept, then save, the buy won't ask you any more, and when you talk to him, he will remind you of the mission so you can restart it again. That sounds like what's happening to you.

If you can copy down some of what he is saying, I might be able to see what he is talking about or why you aren't seeing accept buttons. (I don't know which long speech you mean, so try to write down the general idea of what he is saying)

AFAIK, the campaign system is pretty well tested, but it's always possible for bugs to exist in some uncommon branches.

Anyway, if you click on the guy, and then launch, you may see a mission on your missions pane.
However you may not see a mission if it's a simple cargo run, or you are just going from one place to another.

Anyway, if you can't figure out what the guy is talking about, or you don't think there's a mission, attach your saved game or paste down what he is saying at the time.

Please post your save game so all users have access to it.

I remember that the Informant only gives you a hint where to find the target. After you launched, hit "o" to view if you got objectives. Remember that PageUp/PageDown keys could have hidden the objectives if you hit them in advance.

I did launch and i didn't have objectives, and i haven't been in that area recently (Telar, Valhalla area right?)
