Rostok side quest bug

[waterdaca]

The bartender in Rostok broke during my third side quest. I killed the bandits, went back, got the coupons. Later I noticed that the quest is still active and the clerk won't close my quest again, because I actually did it already.

So the mission is stuck and I can't do anything.
This bartender paid good money, now I can't do anything with him. Reloading didn't help either.

Has anyone had this experience? What can I do?

Try to go to the place where the bandits were after some time. They might have respawned. Helped me in a simmilar situation

Had the same thing happen to me. This is that second side quest hanging on the board that won't complete . . . . . . even after it is complete.

What got me was not saving before accepting an artifact retrieval mission. Figured I wasn't getting that artifact anytime soon so i canceled it. Did another side quest or 2 and then that artifact mission decided to come back by the will of the monolith, and because of this after about 50 or so hours in to my now 180 hour play through and i haven't been able to do anything with barkeep other than trade... food... so now i have literally no reason to go down there to him. At this point its just another spawn by the fantastic "A-Life". Which i could make an easy paragraph or 3, about how just dog water it really is and has no point other then to just hinder and inconvenience you at every turn. Well other then Barkeep this has happened to 2 other mission givers, so the game is slowly chipping down my options for side missions and more content. love this game... but there are still so many things that could really use a fix..... soooooo many.. :(

Bartender Q's are bugged for me as well. I do the job, get the reward yet the quest is still sitting in my journal "return to the bartender". Happened with Rostok and Cement Factory bartenders. But Q's are not really profitable or important and for sure there are far and few in-between.

Also, i can't start whatever the quest is with the Red Forest mine trader guy. I have the blue Q icon on the map for him, but dialogue will not offer me anything except to trade and as "what is new in the zone".

We should have far more longer, chained and fun quests then there is in game as it stands right now.

I have plenty of fun in Stalker2. I have 100 hours of gameplay in it, but let's face it...this game is in early access by all metrics of game design.

A-life is nothing more then a glorified spawn generator, spawning random enemies or groups close to your proximity, bugs galore, shallow or rare quests that pay little in terms of monetary value (you will probably waste more resources on doing them then the reward).

This game needs at least one more year to cook. Then we will maybe get the full experience out of it. It's ok-ish as it stands right now, but it could be much, much more!
