Game-breaking Paradise Lost Monday glitch?

[Courier of the Wasteland]

This is my very first time posting on any Steam discussion forum, and I wanna start off by saying Postal 2 is and will always be my fave video game.

So. The glitch. Basically I arrived at the 'end' of Monday when Vince told me I could stay at the church. Then I was transported to the church. I pressed M to open my map and it basically said I had not completed my Monday errands. I ran around the church and tried to leave for almost an hour before finally looking it up and seeing it was probably a glitch, a glitch no one else had.

I do have a save from when I was in ♥♥♥♥ Asian, but if I just go back to it I'll lose a bit of progress... anything I can do to get the game to realize I did my errands and it should be Tuesday, or count my losses and go back to ♥♥♥♥ Asian?

Also, any times on preventing this? Thanks for reading and thanks for trying to help!

Thanks for the report. I have never encountered this bug myself, nor have I seen it reported before so that'll be pretty hard to reproduce and fix. Therefore I'm not even sure how to prevent it from happening since it appears to be extremely rare.

One thing you could do is to enable a debug menu and 'Mark Errands as Complete' but that will disable achievements on that save file so that's not an ideal solution.

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I went back to my other save and everything seemed to go back to normal, I'm now on Tuesday and everything seems to be flowing like normal. I'm not sure what caused it, but it was really weird.

This has happened again. Ugh.

Wednesday, and I'm at the location talking to the old guy for the Breast Pump. Then I'm in the cow field and after walking around for about 30 minutes I realize it might be the glitch again. So i watched a walkthrough of Wednesday and realize I was never 'given' the bucket, and the old guy's voice never played telling me what to do. My last non-cow errand save was from Zack Ward, so I lost a lot of progress again. A common theme with this glitch is that these are the errands I am doing last.

Same exact thing happened to me, I'm stuck at the church on Monday and all my errands are marked as not complete.

This is some real ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I bought the DLC when it was brand new, and each time I tried to play it, something happened to prevent my progress. A year later and I try it now, and this happens.

I love Postal and RWS, but Jesus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Christ, I'm never gonna finish this DLC.

The only fix I found is to take advantage of save states, save right before every start of a new day/end of the previous day. It sucks major donkey ♥♥♥♥ but, eh...

I hate to res an old thread, but I also ran in to this glitch. I saved all the monkeys but killed the elephant and after the cutscene with Vince, it loaded very quickly skipping any kind of transitions and sent me directly to the church (skipping the part where Vince gives you a map section). There was only a single NPC spawned in (the guy pissing in the fountain).

I was able to reload the autosave from right before I killed the protesters and everything seemed fine. I just wanted to point it out that ~5 years later this was never patched.

That's about right for RWS. (I'm kidding, they're decent people)

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this still isn't fixed? I'll do a playthrough and see if this bug pops up again. This is strange and hope it isn't more common than just you and I.

Just bug just happened to me, Vince didn't seem to spawn in the church, opened the map and now I got the Monday quests all over again

This is still not fixed. How do you guys beat this?

After going through Monday for the second time I didnt found the problem.
