First bounty hunter mission. Troubles (bug? or am I stupid)

[Lommo]

So I went to the first planet and the guy escaped, then I searched for clues and it sent me to another planet in the same system, but still, the mission status didnt update. It still told me to look for more clues where there clearly were none left.

I also searched the surface of the second planet and some of the underground throughly, still tells me to look for clues.

What should I do?

Same here. Weirdly lets you get note and then tells to scan around, sometimes tells you to location of next planet and look for clues. Nothing?

Entered the game again and still nothing. Is there anywhere I could go to report this if it turns out to be a bug?

Same here, can't find anything.

Oddly enough, the video shows a way to scan in the UV spectrum, but I don't know how to activate it.

The closest thing I know to a UV spectrum scan in the game is the cave scanner. I used that in the location and still couldnt get past that point. There wasnt anything in the nearby caves and cavities either.

I am on my second criminal hideout and there are no clues that move the game forward. Only the handprints, and scanning them do nothing.

[speakswithdreams]

use the scanner to find any handprints and try turning on all the computers in his hideout. Also check boxes and drawers for any notes and read them

[Flaksponge]

use N to scan things as you normally would for other quests there will be handprints or consoles to switch on. It's the same scanner you already had.

clues are usualy:
handprints (scan them)
killing the guy, he usualy has arrow pointing on him
notes/CD, you can find in storages of any kind (you need to equip an interact them)
AND computers, so turn on everything

Also in case you took multiple missions, the quest probably changed to other hideout quest thats on same planet so start looking where that second one is.

the easiet way to find this out is properly keep noticing if quest changed.......
or just go to surface and just keep jumping and bulding blocks under you, keep going high enough until you
finally see yellow compass pointer thats hidden by toolbar

Did you actually do the quest?
Or just give general tips or assumptions?

Assumptions, oviously i dont rember starting quest that i did decades ago

[Talamarie]

And these assumptions are correct : you HAVE to check EVERYTHING in the same location of a target : the crates/chests, the computers, the handprints. Also be sure to TRACK the correct quest in the case you have 2 criminal on the same planet.

the only other possibiliets are
BUG
or that OP thinks he has to look for clues only on first planet and is not looking for clues on second and rest of the planets anymore
or mod/s

op here, doesnt it update the mission when you search for everything in the first planet? Because I've already explored the second one and theres nothing to be found

It works like this: You take the quest, you select it as tracked/active, you press the "go the location" pin in the star map. You follow the objectives. If you have multiple bounty quests on the same planet it may auto jump to another one (and may also jump to another one if you complete the current one).

When you first arrive at the planet you are just supposed to roam around/explore until the compass things activates. Once it activates go to the indicated location (sometimes at the surface, sometimes underground).

When it comes to searching clues the variations i have seen are as follow:
1. Defeat selected target (he/she tells you where to go next).
2. Scan hand prints using the scanner (gets a DNA clue were to go next).
3. Turn on a computer or similar item (the item tells you were to go next).
4. Get advice from a "helpful person" that turns out to be the target fooling you.
5. Find a note or similar in a container telling you were to go (make sure to activate/read the note).

The high priority targets may send you on a wild goose chase across multiple worlds until you finally track down the target. The normal targets usually are at the first location.

Should be noted that the game spawns the hideouts as needed for the quests. If you have searched the planet before the stage were your supposed too you won't find anything since the game has not spawned the hideout yet.

If its bugged i would suggest abandoning the quest and reacquiring it at the peacekeeper station again (Haven't done this myself, but that is the way it works with other quests so i'm assuming its the same with bounty quests).


P.s just in case, if you are using mods or a very old character that may be messing stuff up.
