Convoy
Bug Report for the Nintendo Switch version
Hi folks, sorry I'm posting this in the main forum but I don't own the game on Steam so I can't put this in the dedicated bugs forum! Feel free to message me if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can do to help. Normally I'd send you logs but I don't have any idea how I'd get those from the Switch version.

Observed Behavior: This was actually two glitches in one! The first was some sort of UI problem that occurred after I had received the first reward car from the bottle caps quest. I had 4 vehicles already and so I needed to abandon one to accept the new unit. After abandoning my vehicle the screen prompting me to abandon excess cargo popped up. However, my cargo was full (not overfilled) and thus there was nothing to abandon! This screen softlocked my game because the buttons to select gear to abandon or to confirm my selection and then proceed were all inoperable.

The second glitch happened immediately afterwards. To escape the above softlock I restarted the game. Resuming my campaign, I was taken back to the rewards screen (now asking me to abandon a second vehicle). I abandoned another vehicle and the excess gear this left me with without any issues (the UI worked normally, presumably because there was actually gear for me to select this time). However, the entry for the bottle caps quest was still active in the log (blue and selectable/expandable rather than gray and inert). The map location for the bottle caps quest was gone but selecting the quest in my log still gave an arrow pointing at the spot where it used to be. From that point on I couldn't complete any quests as all log entries remained active. I also think (can't be sure though) that I wasn't getting any rewards for the few quests I "completed."

Expected Behavior:
  • For glitch 1: no prompt to abandon gear unless your cargo inventory is overfilled.
  • For glitch 2: quests should resolve as normal.

Repro Steps:
  1. Start the game on Nintendo Switch.
  2. Get a full squad of 4 vehicles.
  3. Find the Lucky Peacock casino.
  4. Win bottle caps (pretty sure I got these in the Wheel of Fortune) and receive the quest to find someone who wants them.
  5. Make sure you have enough empty cargo slots to actually hold whatever gear you will be taking off your first vehicle when you abandon it. I ended up with all 4 cargo slots full after abandoning my first vehicle (note: the bottle caps quest rewards you with 2 vehicles).
  6. Complete the bottle caps quest. This will trigger the first screen prompting you to abandon one of your vehicles. Choose a vehicle to abandon, I kept the new one and ditched one of my older cars. If the 1st bug is reproducible then this should softlock your game. Your inventory will be full after abandoning your first vehicle but the screen prompting you to decide which gear needs to be abandoned will show up. However, since your inventory is full there is no excess gear for you to abandon and the buttons should be inoperable.
  7. Close the game, restart and resume you campaign.
  8. This should put you back into the reward screens for the bottle caps quest (possibly you'll be put back into the convoy screen first and have to return to the map screen to trigger the rewards).
  9. Abandon another vehicle and any excess gear you might have.
  10. If the 2nd bug is reproducible then the bottle caps quest should be shown as incomplete (even though the map marker is missing and you just got the rewards) and the log entry should remain active.
  11. Complete any other quest to verify that other missions are bugged and cannot be completed.
