Poacher quest bug *workaround*

[Davion]

I figured out a workaround that worked for me
have cheat menu on and teleport to the village you need
if you need to wait until midnight like i did but its the middle of the day and you crash waiting,
first off everytime you load your save you get 2-3 seconds before you crash so
fast foward the game for about 2-3 seconds before you crash (dont crash to make it faster)
save and quit, resume game fast foward again and save and quit and keep doing this
until you reach midnight than you can kill the poachers and the quest will complete and then you will no longer crash

takes a while its the only way i figured out

Bumping. This worked for a streamer(admiralbulldog). I'll spread the word.

Strangely, I have been able to complete this quest on several occasions (waiting at village brings up the "talk of attack" menu and managed to talk them out of fighting).
However, I have now encountered a game-breaking bug when an accepted Army of Poachers quest expires: couldnt even attempt the quest as the village in question was raided so I just left but now the game crashes when the quest timer runs out. Gonna try your workaround.

Now my save won't even load, thanks.

Same here. I teleported to the village, waited for a little bit, then saved. Load, same thing. Now my game crashes on the load screen every time. Luckily I have another save from before I teleported to the village.

I tried going back to the reserve save and tried again. This time it worked.
Here is what I did wrong: First time I went to the village and pressed the wait here button. That did not work.
Second time I stayed outside, and moved speed along at normal speed (number 2 on keyboard) for a couple of seconds, then paused. This worked.
