    I died, so when I respawned why was the mission complete?

    I was playing Grace Under Fire. Loving it. Died. Frustrated but ready for more. The game loads there's no enemies, so I'm like OK it's back at the beginning.

    But then Grace is no longer in her tower and she says when I come close "That would have been really difficult with you..." Or words to that effect.

    What?!!! I died during a mission, so why doesn't it load before the mission to defend the mausoleums started? What the hell?

    And the game lets me save it (but no save screen?) but I didn't know I needed to and there's no *load game* option in game anyway. What the hell?! I was ready to play that mission multiple times and then it's stolen away from me?!

    I think I had killed most of the enemies but surely dying means the mission is failed?

    GRRRRR! So frustrating!

    Is this gonna happen all the time now? WHYYYYYY?!

    Ya did not mention "what platform" you are playing on???

    PC , if I had to guess..........(it always helps to let folks know)

    Did ya get the "stars" and the mission complete music, followed by the RP points?

    Xbox One. Sorry. But surely it's the same on all platforms? It doesn't seem like a glitch or a bug but the way the game is designed.

    I got the stars and mission complete after talking to Grace. I just died during the Marked mission and I respawned before the cultists come to get you after you find Merle.

    So it's not every mission. Which is even more confusing coz now I'm wondering what is the criteria for whether I am respawned after dying during a mission.

    Cool mission! I like it! All those cultists ...from every side...and that flamethrower.... Two bullets and you are dead....Two bullets and you are dead....Eventually I hid in the church and held defense there! It was a memorable mission for me!

    NOPE, not the same on all platforms (I play PS4) but it sounds as if you were close enough to the end of Grace's mission that no more cultists spawn'd and ya completed the mission.

    Sounds like things are working as they should and that your capture by John and rescue by the preacher is working as designed - (dang Merle is a real pain to rescue as he fights over by the bridge after ya revive him) and I generally defend from the point where the helicopter lands - flat rocks NE of the bridge - I've shot him myself trying to kill the peggies numerous times during this mission.

    I had that on PC on my re-play though. Died at the church (we had lost one tomb) and it was completed on re-spawn. I figure we were near enough to the end of the fight it just auto completed with Grace.

    And there are no mission replays in FC5 as far as I see. You just play and it auto saves for you. No going back and trying again.
