[Invisible Colonel] Back to the Slag Heap [Fixed in Patch 1.2 - at least for me]

[Sir Lunchalot]

Im currently on my way back to the Slag Heap and there are "military" dudes everywhere. When I continue I need to go upstairs where it triggers a cutscene with Dr. Daling and Col. Korshunov. Unfortunately the Colonel is invisible during the cutscene.

Apparently this is a common issue? How am I supposed to take the cutscene seriously when there is a just a mysterious voice talking to Dr. Daling.

Anyone knows a fix for that bug?

Solution 1: pinned
Solution 2: Wait for the next emission before returning to trash
-> Thanks to Sunny Frimley

maybe this will help someone - or at least makes it easier to find.

This does not work for me either, I cannot progress with the main game story??

[Sir Lunchalot]

As far as I understood it, you can continue with the cutscene, but later you need to talk to Colonel Korshunov to accept a follow up quest. Sadly this is not possible when he is invisible.

I have found some work arounds on reddit: wipe out the bandit camp that Korshunov wants you to attack. When you do that, he will just call you via PIA and said that he wanted you to do that. I dont know how to proceed after that. In fact I didnt proceed at all, because I find it irritating to have a cutscene with an invisible person in it. Ruined my entire mood

This quest is also broken for me plus the Helicopters blades were not spinning when flying.
Sounds also been bugging out.

FPS is gone to down hill like the memory leak is back only when looking in a certain direction.

I made it to *Back to the Slag heap* mission at the sawmill and cannot progress.
All doors are locked, there is no cut scene and you will randomly teleport into the barn with no way out.

the first comment has a fix for that. I hope it helps :) I will just wait a month or so for the devs to fix the game

Right after the cutscene with missing Colonel just type XTeleportNPCToPlayer Korshunov in console and he will appear. To have a working console you need to download UeTools https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/64

Vanilla

Mods are only best to use after you complete the story as much as possible so they don't conflict with anything, I'm just not going to yet until the game gets more fixes

story end has no freeroam btw so be sure to make backup saves in pripyat

Hey guys, If you face problems with Colonel spawn, use this command

XStartQuestNodeBySID E06_MQ02_SetJournal_E06_MQ02_AfterMonolith_Fin

It skips mission step "Find out what happened at the Monolith" and the door to the next room will be opened. This fixed my problem.

Same here unfortunately. Finally done with the crashes, now this... It's like this game don't want to be played.

Running after the helicopter and staying to watch it land did work and the Colonel did show up on the cutscene, but he ended up dissapearing anyway after the scene ended.
