No NPS at Traders' Corner
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

Some times it helped to Teleport back to the landed ship and come again ...
when I teleport DIRECT to OWN stations, there are ALWAYS the NPCs missing

Interesting. I usually just do a quicksave or regular save and restart the game and or the computer depending on how long X4 has been running.

They'll eventually show up. You just have to wait longer. As I said, it takes a good 5 minutes or so for the NPCs to appear on my stations now. It slowly got worse and worse as the game went on.

It's only a 20 hour savegame, and I waited 5 mins. Nothing.

fly away and land again

Takes me as long as it takes to get to the ramp and then the game freezes for a moment and the place is populated, not just the trader office but the local area as well, it's most noticeable on Terran stations.

it appears to be a loading issue, perhaps a short range pop in or something of the like.

as you pointed out a few days ago on another thread, so i responded based on that feedback.

the issue is still valid and it still happens which is why it floated back.

Did you try turning off your mods? Also how good is your PC. There should always be someone at Trader's Corner so if you think the store is closed, nope, it just isn't working. Yes it is related to drawing assets it seems. If this is happening it may be happening elsewhere in your game too, ships in space for instance. The ships may be there but aren't drawn so you can't see them then you'd blow up randomly. Definitely try to work this one out.

i run no mods because i don't want a modified flag in any of my saves. So long as a modified flag exist, there is no chance i will ever consider modifications from the workshop.

i run a computer than can reach maximum settings on this game based on the maximum specs from the store (however it can only run at half because of overheating issues generated from the game itself due to intensive CPU usage), plus i run an ssd. The only thing i can think of based on what's available and that i played subnautica through Early access and saw distant pop in, so i suspected.

i always see this pop in at about 60km in space, after this it's just empty space and before this the ship model just gains in size the closer you get. also during the initial loading and when alt tabbing out and going back into the game, the assets load up but take a few seconds. Often when this happens and i'm in a window like map or boarding when alt-tabbing, the window closes as well, so it makes it down near impossible to observe a boarding from another system because i have no eye on the ship from the map in that system.
