Quick answer
Do not assume the chapter is permanently broken. Recheck the previous objective, close any open event or journey summary, save and reload, then confirm the current patch before repeating the whole campaign.

Trigger checklist
- Read the exact previous objective rather than relying on the chapter title.
- Close journey summaries, event panels, and unfinished interactions.
- Let the settlement run for a short interval after the prerequisite completes.
- Save, reload, and check the chapter log again.
- Capture the build, objective text, map, and last completed event if it still fails.
Evidence boundary
Community reports show that some event or chapter triggers can stall, but a single report does not establish a universal prerequisite. Treat a workaround as a test, not a guarantee, until an official note confirms it.
FAQ
Should I reload an earlier save?
Only after preserving the current save. Use an earlier slot to test the trigger, not to overwrite your latest evidence.
Can a patch change the trigger?
Yes. Event logic and progression blockers are patch-sensitive, so check current announcements first.
