Hot on the Trail Bug "Talk to Strider"

[Melvorx]

I've now arrived at the Zenither base on the Wild Island in the story.
I found Strider and was surprised that he has no textures, but the cutscene runs automatically from the trigger.
Well, I deactivated the scanner and he would like to talk to me now.
Hey, that's why I'm here mate... hehe

He sits down on a crate and instead of the expected ‘press F to talk’, nothing happens.
He sits there (his model is still completely white by the way, no textures) and I can't continue the game as there is no way to interact with him.

Ok that can happen so I reload the savegame - nope doesn't work.
Damn!
So I loaded an earlier savegame from the Garbage area before the Wardens arrived and Richter sent me to the sawmill, unfortunately that didn't work either.

Attempts to finish the quest with the UE console are also unsuccessful. The mission can be ended via the console, but the following mission is not triggered.

Now the question is what else can I do?
Share the savegame with another player so that they can complete the quest for me?
Nice idea!
Unfortunately, Strider is buggy for me even after finishing the mission in question with the console command, no textures, no interaction options - game broken!
I created a manual savegame outside the Wild Zone and then finished the mission with console.
Doesn't work of course!

I have no more ideas for a solution and unfortunately have to put Stalker 2 on the pile of shame.
1800 bugs have been fixed but how many new ones have been added? Here's one I found, please fix it!

Thanks for reading, have a nice Christmas holiday.

Oh, that's what Strider looks like in my game. *clown*

Same here, on 1.1, except my Strider appears to be normal looking. Yet, he's sitting there with no "F to Talk" – Reloading older safegame and restarting the game did not work...

Even with the latest update, it is not responsive.
I play with the GamePass version but the Steam version also contains the error.
I have opened a ticket with GSC with the error and have also received a reply, they ask for videos and screenshots.
I will upload everything today and hope that there will be a fix.

P.S
A friend of mine has continued to play my game on the Xbox so that I can continue.
