A problem...

[Lord English]

...I've been locked out of Traitor Joe's compound now for two days but I've no idea why. I've not done anything special, I've never attacked him and I ALWAYS close the door after entering or leaving. Is this a bug or have I done something to cause this?

I just encountered this problem myself. I went to Traitor Joel's during open hours, his compound door was locked and the OPEN sign was turned off. I was not teleported away from the premises, which is what typically happens when approaching during closed hours. I just walked up to the door and saw that the door was locked. I haven't tried any of the other vendors after this experience however.

I don't know your details, but have you restarted the game? Are you waiting till after 6:05 am to appraoch the building? Are you on SP or MP? If it is MP, have you asked the admin to restart the server?

SP and it was after 7:00. I'll give it another try today.

It's working again. Traitor Joel is back in business. Not sure what the problem was. May be a rare glitch.

It has happened to me. I was locked out for about 3 in game days and was only able to get back in after I quit and reentered the game. It seems to be a glitch with the traders which if I remember correctly was mentioned somewhere else.

Anyway, quitting and reentering the game seems to fix the issue so it isn't a major problem except for people that don't know to try that.

i made this experience too. First everything was alright. But when I came to the traiding post once again that day, I got in, but the traitor was not in and I cant sell anyting. The next time I showed up, the traiting post teleports me out at once, like in the closing hours. Quiting and reentering didn't solve the problem til now. Any Ideas?

It's a known issue & suggested causes range from leaving the door open last time you visited to building too close to the Trader.

Use the console to spawn in a Trader outside the outpost.

(console, type "help" for a list of commands EDIT- the one you want is Spawnentity))

This is what happens when you try to make deals with turncoats.

a known issue that still happens more than a year later, ran into this today. If there were as many ignored known issues in the job I do at work I would be fired

You just like to troll on every thread? It is not an known issue. This happens when a trader dies. Only issue is the trader is dead.

It's not game breaking so these types of bugs are usually resolved come Beta.

EDIT; and easily resolved by spawning in a new Trader entity.

This is also a good point.

Maybe the Bandits or NPC Survivors "took care" of the Trader.

Maybe there on holiday ? Don´t you see a sign next to the door ?
