ISSUE WITH Chapter 1 Mission 5: Irkutsk Sable Breeders Mission

[Erin]

I have been having trouble with the advertising bonus task. It says to make a bus route with at least three stations and drive it; I have tried everything I can think of and it only ever says I've done 1/3 on the tracker. I've made a route with three stops; a route with three stations; routes with three stops in three other cities; I've even hopped into the routes in first person, thinking the "drive it" part could be referring to that. Is this an issue anyone else has had? Am I just not getting it? Help!

[Seftak]

The way i did it was in the city top right i made a bus line with 3 stops and ran a bus in circle through those 3 and it worked...

[Martin]

Tried riding the bus? hmm..

[CocoJacoby]

Yeah I rode lots of buses but only could come up with 2/3. Couldn't get any more no matter what I did.

[DJDosKiller]

same here, 2/3

It's a while since I played this mission, perhaps this will help:

This is sort of what I was looking for, videos showing gameplay. I watched several and I was doing the exact same thing as them. I think it is a glitch in the game for some people rather than an error in gameplay. I can't watch the video at the moment, but when I get the chance I will. I don't think I have seen this playthrough!

Finally worked it out!. At least 3 stops need to be within the residential zone.
Stops are not counted in commercial or industrial zones.

We all have the same game, unless of course you are a gold member and received the Turbo gold build, which does not have issues.

But seriously, no there is no glitch for some people when it comes to game play in cases like these, unless Urban Games have stumbled onto real AI and inadvertently started Skynet.

These scenarios are so simple and yet people somehow manage to struggle with them and then blame the developers, aliens and politicians. It bodes poorly for TF3 since TF2 was already nerfed due to people not being to understand the basic concepts of how stuff like freight worked in the game. Sadly we will probably see even more "dumbification"

dumbification you say... well maybe you should learn to read.
The guy above you posted what the issue was, so maybe take your dumbass back and read before posting

I put 3 stops in Irkutsk, one near each 'zone' in town (with some overlap, as is natural for cities of this size), and had no issues completing this, for what that may be worth.

It is possible for some people to have glitches in their games and not others. Don't assume someone is "dumb" because you feel you're higher and mightier. You absolutely were not helpful, and all you've done is paint yourself as a blind narcissist who thinks they are more intelligent than anyone who may have been struggling with something you deemed "simple".

The ultimate solution rather makes sense. Why did I not succeed in the mission before? Because typically, I place my bus stations in each zone, so of course only one would count as being in the residential section, and not allow me to complete the mission. It was an unnamed specification.

And my usual method is logical. You would want to have stops in every separate zone of the town or city in question. So you can take your high horse and turn it into glue. Have a great life.
