Annoying contract car mission question.

[deathelm]

Is there by chance a way to disable, or remove this questline? Mod perhaps, or even a setting? It is driving me insane. On a mission, and an icon appears while flashing non stop on my mini map. I don't care for the quest, I have no interest in doing any of them. As it stands, the only temp fix I found is to get into the car, then jump right back out. It will fail after a bit, but it is still annoying.

The quest has a habit of appearing right near the quest I currently am working on, so I can't do that quest right then. If I ignore it, the whole time I focus on the minimap for my quests information, I see a pinging flashing wheel icon of doom.

Tried turning off different settings in interface, and I also tried throwing every grenade I own at the vehicle. Can't turn it off, can't destroy it.

Are you talking about the "vehicle contracts" missions from El Capitan? Just ignore them, what's the problem? It doesn't pre-empt or interrupt whatever the quest you're currently doing so it shouldn't be an issue

[EJR]

If you're talking about the carjacking then you can ignore them, you just miss out on doing a repeatable quest for some rewards; it is like the Minutemen radiant quests in Fallout 4, only difference is that El Capitan gives out some sweet rewards.

Yep, the muamar ones.

That is the issue. The constant flashing of the icon causes me to lose focus and be unable to concentrate on what I am doing. If it was a regular icon like the fast travel or quest icon it would be fine. This one flashes, pulses, and persists. Downside of having a disability :/ Tried turning off the minimap, and it made a wheel icon appear floating on the screen doing the same. That quest is the bratty annoying neighborhood kid.

Did a little more research last night, and it seems limited hud on nexus may hide this. Not at home, so can't try it yet.

I find the flashing icons annoying as well, the entire endeavour is so futile. They came up with a concept for car chases and now try to force it on everybody, though nobody asked for that. Additionally, who enjoys being chased when you are just trying to get from A to B? I wish I could switch off everything to do with car chases.

Seems to be no luck with the limited hud. It removes the floating one, but the icon still persists on the minimap. Welp, new game it is. Once I get to the spot that has the initial quest for vehicles, I will walk right by without even looking. Autism and flashing lights not good m'kay?

Just keep driving.

Or better yet, just do them. The car jacking missions were pretty fun sandbox impromptu car chases.

Bit late to the party but.. shoot em. Take a gun with explosive rounds. Shoot it until it explodes. Takes it right off the mini map.

The game gives you a million options and tweeks. But allows a freaking flashing bright light on the mini map. And always automatically select the main mission for you. Even if you've finished it and re-do the game. It's baffling

There's another way. In your next playthrough, do not start Muamar's carjacking quests at all. That way the flashing wheel icon will only appear in Dogtown. The ones in Night City only starts appearing after the prequest, so.

It's not a perfect solution, but it's the best I can think of on top of my head.
