Problem with Mission 19

[DZMaven]

So I'm supposed to tail this guy in order to find the Major so I can take out both. The guy switches vehicles mid-way through and then... doesn't continue?

He just stays in his jeep with his guards forever.
Is there something I'm supposed to do to trigger him to keep moving or this a glitch?
I can't finish the mission proper without him continuing on.

Getting spotted by him pretty much fubars the mission. I did get past the mission by cheesing it and ambushing the Major after figuring out where he was after a few retries, but as of right now I have no way to complete the other mission objectives without this guy moving.

That happened to me once on a different mission (Mission 14). I did tranq a few guards along the way while tailing the translator, so I might have accidentally tranq'ed a key guard which kept him in the vehicle. Pretty sad when I was sitting above the Zoologist prisoner and watch them gun her down, thinking that the translator would get out the vehicle to start the interrogation.

Retried the mission again later when I was doing a staff skill hunting run, and he did get out the vehicle to do his interrogations, even though I was tranq'ing more guards than the last run. There will be bugs, I guess.

All those scripted optional objectives are easy to bug and break the script.
Sadly, Konami works on selling insurance instead of bugfixing those.

After identifying him, just ignore his drivethrough, instead rush to the place he's supposed to meet and wait there till he arrives. That's for mission 19.

Mission 14 is probably the worst of these, even a fart can bug it. I suggest using stealth camo PP in crowded areas, never get less than 50m to any soldier and do the mission without any buddy with you. Do not and I mean this, do not touch, take, tranq, fulton, use - ANYTHING. Until you see that the goal is done.
If you notice that some guards are chattying during it, restart the mission. The chat nonrelated to mission objective will instantly bug it.

This is a late reply, but I was having this same issue with Mission 19. Here's how I worked around it.

For me the problem was when the jeep arrived at the camp where they moved to another vehicle, the guy and his entourage would just sit in the jeep forever without moving, even if I made days go by with the cigar. What I did was leave the perimeter of that camp to trigger a checkpoint, then restarted from the checkpoint from the menu. This jostled the AI into continuing to meet the Major and I didn't lose any of the skilled soldiers I extracted so far. Hope this helps someone.

The general consensus around here is that you're better off not necroing an old post full of people that quit playing the game long ago, but instead create new posts around a topic for those who are currently playing.

Not to mention there have been a lot of updates since 2015 that has fixed many of the issues people complained about with the initial release.

Nah his late reply actually helped me and its almost 2018 and the bug is still there, watching the car not move right now, funny you think konami actually patches their bugs though

Problem is, a lot of the old issues WERE fixed. This is just one that wasn't.
