Strider doesn't appear

[Trax]

Hey guys, I've had this problem on two quests now.. Strider is supposed to be there to either initiate a dialogue or to progress the story through a cutscene. Either way he doesn't turn up.

Happens first on the Mission "Extreme Simplicity", loading older saves, restarting the game or even the quest had no impact on making him appear. Which caused me to skip the quest and go over onto the next one. (Forced me to view the cutscenes and what happeened online)

On the next Quest "Wishful thinking" which locks me in completely, literally can't go back or do something else until it is fixed (or forcing me to side with the Ward, which i don't plan to in this playthrough), he doesn't show up to open the door. No clipping through it won't trigger or progress it.

In the Patch notes it said they were fixing the Problem where an NPC doesn't get to the intended position and hoped that it would have helped with my problem, alas it's still the same.

Anyone else gotten that problem and maybe found out a work around?
Cheers in advance

Same problem here man, I hoped this patch would fix that but so far it's done nothing for me, such a pain I guess I'll side with the Ward.

Had the same issue but I accidentally found a work-around.

While standing near the door (in the part of the hallway where the game puts your weapon away) I turned away from the door and then hit escape and alt-tabbed. I was tabbed out for about 5-10 minutes and when I came back and resumed the game, I was instantly pulled into the cutscene with Strider. *shrug*

Any luck on this? Stuck in the same spot

I had the same issue. Seems like it was because of the mods I had installed.
I took the ~mod folder completely out and it worked first time.

Obviously if you don't have any mods installed I have no idea how to fix the issue.

It happened before i had installed any mods. The only mod i did add was the console, so I can restart the mission if needed lol

Sadly no news on it yet, I did write a ticket to the Stalker team, but it hasn't been fixed in the released patches.. at least not for me.

I was able to fix it by reloading before the decision was made to join Noontide or the Ward. Do you have a save prior to that?

I'm fairly sure most of this part of the main mission is bugged.
After I got past the strider bug, I had another couple where I had to reload a save from 5-10 minutes before and even had to restart the game twice.

Just seems to maybe be a buggy area of the map or maybe just because there is a lot going on in this mission with different factions and mutants.

Hope you can find a way around it or it gets patched on the next hotfix

Same, i'm stuck here too.

Ok, that was weird. I've paused the game and alt-tab to check for solution and when i get back to the game, Strider was here and the cutscene launched as normal.

if anyone is still having this problem, walking back to the door that connects you to the previous room triggered the cutscene for me

I was running around the map and went back to Slap Heap. I took 3-4 naps, and then I ran back to the base. I found out Strider was standing at the cliff (watch tower) where you climb down, in the direction you retrieve the inductor. That's why it won't trigger the cutscene, because he isn't even inside the base! I tried to kill him, but the game won't let me.
