Cant progress game due to npc bugs

[Polyhistor]

Issues Interacting with various NPC's throughout the game resulting in being unable to progress both side and main quests.

Talking to Werner in the Ruins Wyveria causes the world to vanish and results in falling through the world leading to having the close the game. Talking to Aida in the oil well basin to acquire a side quest has her repeating dialogue with nothing happening. Worst of all though is Maki not appearing at all within the Oil basin to talk to which is required to progress the 5-2 Quest steps.

I've tried loading in and out of zones, progressing time, completing all available and functioning side quests, quitting and restarting game, verifying files, and using a different computer. I would prefer not to have to start over again so if anyone has had similar issues and found a fix would appreciate it.

Tldr; Npc's bugged cant progress.

Have you found any solutions because all of those are happening to me as well and Maki is a main story quest giver, how am I supposed to progress?

[Madseed]

same, I tried so many things reconnect, verify game file. I think my safe is just broken.. I don't want to go load a super old safe before I unlocked trading with aida thats just sooo far....

man this sucks... Guess I have to stop playing until they bug fix this.

That's a bug for everyone. Capcom realesed a hotfix for PS5 ( for Xbox and pc will come later) and in the note was written like " problem progressing with chapter 5 story" - - > under investigation so even in this hotfix progress are still block but they are Investigating so we can only wait. Just farm and grind materials for now guy until the hotfix drops

I have the same issue

Erik can't be found, Aida just spouts the same dialog, even Werner originally just threw me into an abyss. currently Werner for me is in the Oilwell Basin.
