STALKER 2 Back to Slag Heap, stuck in sawmill bug.

[fWN']

I can't progress this quest, I've tried reloading saves, restarting and everything, there's no radio comms when I arrive at the Sawmill and I just get teleported inside the Sawmill without Scar being there and then I can't get out... Please tell me anyone has a solution to this bug?

I seem to have fixed it on my side. After trying everything listed above, I still had the same issue with being teleported into the sawmill with no cut scene with Scar. If you're having this issue, let the game teleport you inside and then manually spawn Scar with "XTeleportNPCToPlayer Scar" and it will initiate the cut scene to progress the quest. Hope this helps anyone needing it.

Just letting you know that your post is still helping people. This is what got it to work for me.
Thanks!

Helped, Thanks!

XTeleportNPCToPlayer worked for me too. Thanks! Shame it takes a 3rd part mod to fix what the Devs have failed to patch more than a month later.

Please help!

[Masokista]

You sir are the GOAT! Thank you!

i do not understand this fix "XeleportNPCToPLayer" is this for PC i am on xbox could you please explain what to do

[Maximus]

Ok I installed UETools console from nexusmod but how do u access the console?
I tried ~ and it doesn't work.
PS: I'm on PC.

[arghy]

Never encountered this on my 1st run but now i'm getting it on my 2nd run, kinda insane this bug is still in the game.

[InnerSpace]

This post comes up with another so i clarify this for ease of acces, credit to the people that originally found this workaround.

Required mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/64

You should progress the quest to the point where you have to meet up with Scar in the sawmill. When you arrive and stand in front of the door with the quest marker and nothing happens talk to the NPC to your left that tells you something along the lines Scar is waiting for you and that Scar chooses odd friends.

After that, wait in front of the door with the questmarker and it will teleport you inside.

At this point either hit tilde (~) or F10 to open console and then input

XTeleportNPCToPlayer Scar

This will warp you outside and instantly play the cutscene as it is supposed to.

Edit: Scar will instantly despawn after the cutscene which is not supposed to happen. The consequences of this are unknown to me.

I've found a similar workaround by a couple youtubers. DO NOT FOLLOW THESE! This allows you to progress but WILL SEQUENCE BREAK at least causing Diode not to respawn back on his Technician spot at the Slag Heap.

The workaround proposed is usually the following, and again do not do this! As an example below the YT'er MrGeeBee provides the broken workaround:

These are the console commands. Open the console by pressing `
The "500" below is the movement speed and can be freely changed.
Activate fly mode:
XSetNoclipGSC True 500

Spawn Scar and reset the mission:
XResetQuestBySID E03_MQ06

Use this to disable fly mode:
XSetNoclipGSC False

Again, DO NOT USE!
