Leviathan not spawning - Ancor 5

[Gonorrhea Gollum]

I'm at phase 5 of expedition, last quest. I crafted the flute, used it several times, but the quest is stuck on "The Leviathan has answered the song. Approach the lifeform to make contact". No life forms, no quest pointers, nothing. Tried to relog, changed system. Nothing seems to work. What can I do?

If you have multiplayer enabled in game options Network settings, have you tried disabling it to see if that helps?

Just tried, still nothing

you did this while pulsing, right? when i did it, i was in pulse flight and in the bottom right i could see text about some scanning being done... then suddenly i dropped out of pulse flight and the lifeform appeared right in front of me... then i saw the text to approach it for contact...

if you did the above, too, have you drifted or moved since dropping out of pulse? if not, it may be that it just isn't rendering but is there... try moving forward slowly and see if you can trigger the contact dialogs... it should be directly in front of you...

i don't recall any kind of marker, though... there might have been one but i just didn't see it... it is almost just like finding the derelict freighters you have to wander about on with no saving until you complete them... you just don't get out but instead speak to them via the comms...

are you using any mods?

(if not ignore the next bit)
one of the mods i use was blocking the spawn...rather than waste time trying to figure out which one, i just removed them all until after i got the Leviathan.

PS. to actually get the Leviathan, just go into space and while drifting (NOT pulsing) activate the flute, the Leviathan will spawn right in front of you (no dashing about required)

I can attest to this being the way also. Not sure about mods because I never use them. But, I made the horn, flew out of my freighter a little way and used it. In a few seconds the Leviathan spawned just like a frigate entering the system. It had a marker, flew toward it and bingo...

As dumb as it sounds, but it worked. I did not think at all about this, many thanks :D
