No NPS at Traders' Corner

[Art]

Playing on 4.1 beta and only 1 mod enabled (More ship interiors mods)

When I go to a station there is no trader at traders' corner. I have to save and reload the game for them to appear, this is very annoying to do every time I want to go trading.

Is there a fix? I am installed on an SSD with a R5 3600 and 980ti with 12GB of RAM

I found going to the crafting desk can help. Just go there and often the Trader materialises. Sometimes quite comically starting with just the eyeballs.

Must a a Boron Transporter experiment ;D

I did try this, no result. Seems like the Boron have yet to perfect their teleportation!

Did you try clicking on some crafting options. I have no idea if the action does anything more than fill the time, or if it triggers the loading of the NPC. But it often seems to work.

Maybe it'll improve when we get the Boron DLC ;P

Hmm, I can't remember. I'll check next time! And yeah, hopefully that's soon!

On some stations with many docks a few Traders seems to load VERY slowly.

Perhaps I should add that I am not currently running the Beta and have very little play time in the last few builds.

Well the craft bench trick doesn't work, I've also waited a good 5 minutes to no avail. It seems the only way to trigger them to spawn is to reload, or possibly travel to a different part of the station (eg faction office) and then go back.

Is the station one of your own? I suspect it happens more on player owned stations.

No, it's the Argon one

I've noticed this happening occasionally throughout my time with X4. I've always assumed that they've just gone for their lunch Whatever, I always just move on to the next trader. I am sure that next time I call at any particular station after this the traders are back at the grindstone.

Yeah that's what I thought, so I went to another station and boom, still no one there...

If the station is a busy one and now that I'm in the endgame I've found that it can take 4-5 minutes for the NPCs on a station to actually load up (including the traders). All my docks are ghost towns for a while then BAM! people everywhere.

I'm guessing the NPC models are very last on the list of loading priorities.

Some are manned, some not. I take it as it is and pretend the shop is closed

except that way it would be always closed to me. There is never anyone there when I land. The only way to get them behind the desk is save+load when standing there. That always worked so far (it still takes time/looking away for them to appear, but at least they always do). Bug since 1.0

I did this until I found that 2 stations all had missing NPC's.

Yep, was fine for a while and only recently has done this.
