[Game Breaking Bug] Freaky Flyers mission broken

[PapaGuby]

After speaking to the guru he tells me to find The Freak, went back to Bay City but he is not where he should be. Checked with other videos on youtube for the precise location but he is not there. I don't know if "Freakin'Art" is to be completed first but since that NPC is not there I cannot start that mission either.

Edit : Of course i tried exiting the mission and retrying or without having the mission active but neither works, the Beast is never there

Upload screenshots with this mission active please. Maybe we can figure out what's wrong.
So far no game breaking bugs for me (I read instructions ;D)

These screenshots are literally after talking to the guru and taking the saucer to Bay City.

Now i reached Takoshima and every time I try to exit the holopod doesn't do anything and I am just stuck without any other quests appearing. Something is severly broken there.

Edit : Seems I am not the only one having this exact issue : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1266700/discussions/0/3319737272513352193/

Ouch :(
Can only suggest monitoring what other users did to solve this issue.
And... do manual back ups for such occasions so you can revert easily to an earlier state.

Already have :)

My game is stuck as well due to this. Can we get a Hotfix please?

I will say I managed to somehow get the "Freakin art" mission to show up and I finished it hoping it would fix the issue the previous mission caused but It did not. So that possible workaround doesn't work.

Some missions have bugs as well, but is not be noticiable at first.
Like those that you need to scan X NPCs to find a location, you might not fulfil that objective before reaching the actual location.
There was this mission in Albion that I had to deliver 3 NPCs to their homes, at first the game only gave me one NPC and fulfil sub 2 objectives at once. I restarted from checkpoint and then showed me 3 NPCs and 3 locations. Even the diamond icons that was suppose to show on the map and screens didn't appear.

You know, these things that got removed with the excuse of "change of times", bugs and glitches is throwing a bucket of cold water at my fun.

May I ask - do keep your V-sync on?
I keep mine. As an... old way to save myself from multiple bugs and in-game tearing (not the picture, but the game itself... I'm bad at explanation and I better shut up now).

Same issue here, had to replay the entire game in a new save slot. For anyone reading, DON'T DO FREAKY FLYERS BEFORE THE FIRST TAKOSHIMA MISSION.

You can backup your savegames by going to %localappdata% on windows explorer nav bar, DH2 folder, just copy your files somewhere else.

Sorry you had to start over, the bug though will 100% be fixed, there is no way they will just let it be. I just stopped playing until it gets fixed.

Hm i didn´t even get the mission before tunguska. Every time i finished a map, i got back to the old and look if anything new is there.
And now finished the hole game and missing the accolade for doing all sidequests. But there is nothing left, besides some collectables

I'm adding this here since it's also another potential game-breaking bug. There are optional objectives to use the slurpmaster to collect certain people. I cannot switch to it. I can only use the Propagandator. No amount of reloads or mashing "5" does anything, so I'm basically forced out of completing the optional objectives.

not sure what mashing 5 does is that the look down feature?

5 is the default hotkey for the Sluprmaster on the saucer. This mission seems to break the saucer weapons after picking up the flyers. It locks in the weapon to the Propagandator, which makes the optional objective unachievable because you need to use the Slurpmaster for it and it's impossible to switch to it.

dont know what it is on controller, on keyboard its left ctrl/strg. maybe you could look into the options which controller button uses that spot.
