Missions on the list that cannot be played?

It seems a lot of arcs were invalidated by text size bugs and missing maps with the latest patch -- any one succumbing to that problem will APPEAR valid, but won't start.
Authors, run through all your published arcs, make sure they're good to go. I did mine last night (tuning the powers as well, since the loadouts changed).

Mission Architect Works: DIY Laser Moonbase (Dev Choice!), An Internship in the Fine Art of Revenge (2009 MA Award Winner!) and many more! Plus Brand New Arcs for Issue 21!
Even the Johnny Sonata arc, which is #1 in the list, was broken last night.
Ick, and that's a Dev Choice, meaning it's locked down from fixing...
Well, BABs posted that they're looking into the problem, so presumably a fix will be coming for arcs which cannot be fixed manually to shorten canned enemy descriptions or adjust maps.

Yes, they took away some maps (like the burning forest map) and any arc that uses them will have this problem.
That blue thing running around saying "Cookies are sometimes food" is Praetorian Cookie Monster!
Shoot on sight, please.
Hmmm, yeah I went in to check and make sure my one published arc was still working and it won't run. I loaded it up in EDIT to check it and there are no errors showing, but I still can't play it =[
Guess I'll just have to wait until they fix whatever the problem is.

If it's showing no errors, one thing it might be is if you've got an NPC using the "Captured (Energy Field)" animation. They changed that animation. Find that NPC and select the new version of the animation (or any other animation) and that should fix that problem.

It's fine right now.
Oh good. I wanted to try it with some of my poor, dormant red toons, since it's more of an evil-themed arc.
I have been looking for interesting missions but finding that a lot of the missions I select cannot be played. I have been looking a variouis V Short missions with 4 stars but when I select Play on the console and then agree on the Warning pop up window the contact hologram does not change into the contact and I am told I have no mission arc if I click on the hologram.
This happened a lot last night, I finally gave up and logged off, I couldn't get a mission to start.
