waited a day for Takemura's call

[sabbathhank]

it said to wait a whole day for his call to make any progress on the main missions, so I just left the game aside and did other things, i came back and the box saying to wait for his phone call was now filled with a yellow exclamation point, but I am left without any further navigation points on how to progress at all or what to do and am seemingly stuck what do I do? what did I miss during the phone call? is this another glitch?

He wanted you to wait for the whole year so CDPR could fix it up first.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it no calls

[ZDuB]

not sure if this is your problem but ill post this workaround

1 Load a gamesave before Takemura and V leave Wakako's office.
2 Finish the conversation with Takemura outside the office right away.
3 Right after the finished conversation and when the quest was updated, skip 23h.
4 See if the holocall triggers and the dialogue with Takemura starts.

I had this happen in my first playthrough. While the workaround posted above can work, in my case I just had to do other missions for a while and skip time several more times, before he finally called. Unsure why this happens sometimes. In my second and third playthrough it didn't happen (possibly due to being new saves on more recent versions, but that's speculation on my part.)

Failing that, do the workaround someone posted above, assuming you have a save from then. (Always keep saves in this game before any major event. And not just a single quicksave or autosave, but multiple manual saves that you rotate through. The lesson I learned the hard way long ago from Morrowind, and have used in every PC game since.)

So, I suggested two possible solutions, only one of which involves loading an earlier save. The other involves just doing other missions, and waiting for longer (sometimes the timer gets bugged for whatever reason.)

The other does involve loading a save, as in the workaround someone posted above. If your most recent save is that far back (and to be clear, this is not me blaming you for the issue, the issue is real and should not exist and is the responsibility of CDPR, however) I suggest keeping more manual saves, more frequently. That should honestly be standard practice in any PC game in my experience. Not doing so is just never a good idea.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just trying to offer potential solutions.

I usually save quite frequently, and am fully aware of the numerous suggestions already mentioned in the thread.

Then why are you responding to someone making a different one (going and doing more missions and simply waiting for more in-game time to see if it triggers) in addition to the above, by cursing and raging and saying you can't do that because your most recent save is too far back?

I was asking him to validate and that he was not simply a troll because his avatar gave off that impression to me and thus I thought he might be possibly lying.

I don't want to waste time playing through side quests only to later learn I can never finish the main game quest and just start over all the way back to recapturing Hellman.

Asking who? You responded to me - the person you're responding to now - saying:

...?

Understandable. Those are the only solutions (other than using an editor to alter the quest flags, which is also an option) known currently.

I cannot easily load the game prior to when meeting Wakako, I already stated that like three times.
