Is Diego bugged? Can't find him

[Kordanor]

I am in the probably last mission of this chapter (the very left one) and have to find and kill Diego. I cleared the whole level and my current goal is "Töte Diego" / "Kill Diego", but he is no where to be found.

Did I do something wrong or is he bugged?

Found the issue: You can actually kill him before the Objective "Find him" is fulfilled. Which then leaves you stuck in the mission.

i was wondering when this would become an issue since i've done a couple missions where i killed the 'main boss' of the mission before the rest of the goons and then the narration would kick in with a trigger at the wrong moment etc

so, this is possibly something to look out for in more than one mission. also thanks for the heads up (as i didn't do Diego mission yet iirc)

DIEGO ?! hmm.. off top but u have to see this /watch?v=3dgx7EU66fQ < its diego

I killed him before the narration and got stuck. Guess the only way is to restart... :/

[Motetta]

Unfortunatly restart is the only way. It is not a long mission, though. You have to hug the wall to trigger the narration. So should you stand behind the pillars, you can shoot him when he is supposed to still "say" something. This seems to be the only mission with this issue, as far as I can tell, but could use some tweaking. After all: red=dead...

[Kordanor]

Yub. Well, not a long, neither a hard mission. But on Ironman this would be really annoying.

Oh lord. I just played all the way up to this point on Hard, with Ironman and Combat Injuries enabled. Shot Diego from afar before the narration started and got stuck. Exited to the main menu so I could load from the last checkpoint and see if it changed anything, but now my game won't even load anymore. The menu options disappear and I'm left with the guy in the rocking chair and nothing I can do but kill the process.

This is one of the most game breaking bugs I've seen in a while. Quite unforgivable when they give you an Ironman option and it ruins your entire game.

If I knew this game will have this many bugs.

I will stay away from it.

To be fair it's the only bug I encountered and with that it's one of the most bug free games I have played in a while.

I agree that they've done a pretty good job keeping bugs out. I've only ran into two major bugs, one where I was not able to close one of the world map popups and had to restart and reload, and then this one with Diego. Unfortunately this bug is quite devastating, and I notice there are a lot of bugs related to objectives getting stuck. I'd figure it should be easy to implement some form of check every new turn to see if any current objective has already been completed, rather than just have it solely trigger based.

Could the developer please acknowledge this bug?

Hey guys, thank you very much for pointing this bug out for us, I'll add this to our bugtracker right away!
I can assure you we've put more than a 1000 hours of QA into this game and do not plan to cut down on testing :) Some bugs simply need pretty specific steps to reproduce and are hard to find because of it but you guys really help us out with all the ones that dare lurk out there. Hats off to you :)
If you find any bugs you'd like us to fix, please help us by sending an e-mail to [e-mail] with the output_log file from your [hard drive]\Steam\steamapps\common\HardWest\HardWest_Data folder along with a description and maybe even the save file from [hard drive]\Users\[username]\Documents\HardWest\[lots of numbers] .

It's 2018 and still, i'm stuck in this mission. Are you kidding us?

In my case Diego is the last standing enemy.

[Alex]

Well, I am in my second round trying to kill Diego. I still can't hurt him.

[Alex]

No matter what I do, I can't reduce the health of Diego. Any suggestions?

Hi Maze,

Can you please provide additional information about this problem? Namely:

- Which mission objectives are active around the time when you meet Diego?
- Did Diego receive any debuffs (both temporary and permanent) during the scenario before he left the posse?
- Does the issue persist after restarting the mission/scenario, loading the quicksave from world map right before the mission, trying to move the level in different order etc.?

Additionally, we would be very grateful if you could provide us with your save and config files, which can be found in /Documents/HardWest/ folder. Please provide them via e-mail at [e-mail].
