Disappearing Characters

[LouiseNaomi]

Anyone else had the issue where you are doing a quest in Eternity Isle and the character you are doing it for disappears? Happened to Remy so I had to go back to the Valley and speak to him there and now it has happened with Rapunzel and Gaston so i've closed the game down completely and will have another go later to see if they reappear.

Yes, all you gotta do then is to open the menu and just click on the character again, you can now make them disappear and sometimes they just do it on their own. So just enable them again in the map view.

Dunno but I've looked for some NPC before that I had not banished.

And they were not on either map.

Ursula disappeared for days.

Gaston sometimes just vanishes.

Donald has been gone for multiple days. Tried all the normal fixes and no dice.

did you go in his house and leave? usually they just appear behind me if i try that a couple times

I think there is a limit as to how many can be active too, but I haven't seen it confirmed. If I'm having trouble getting someone back using the menu map, I'll send a bunch away and try to activate the wanted character again.

Yes. Tried selecting and unselecting in character menu, going into and out of their house. Reloading the game. Playing on switch, PC and steamdeck. I got him back briefly for Sulley's Villager of the Month quest. I couldn't invite him to hang out with me at all during or after completing it. Then as soon as I went away from him, he disappeared again. Also Daisy is missing now.

I am going to try just getting rid of everyone else and seeing if they come back. It's maddening that this is an issue.

This buggy ass game I will stop playing after this star path... anytime I need someone to gift for a duty, they are not there, so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ infuriating... so done with this ♥♥♥♥...

Experiencing disappearing NPC a lot, lately.

My guess is the game can only handle so many on the map at a given time?

We might try Xing out all the ones we don't currently want to see.

That's another bug lately too, though. I X them out; they remain on the map and in the game. But the ones I want or need to find, are not there.

Sometimes the map says they are there, (on the spot where their house is) but I go in and it's an empty house. It might take a few tries going in and out of the NPC's house before they finally appear in the game.

The bugs seem connected.
