Can't progress in "Across the Savanna"

[dnusual]

After the missions were reset, when I do the aforementioned mission and travel to the tree of life, the Relic that is supposed to be next to the tree is not there.
The first time I tried to do the mission yesterday, it was actually laying on the ground next to the rock it is supposed to be on, but now it is completely gone.

Once U pick it up it's gone for good unless you start a new game. Same with all relics.

In other words I won't be able to do the story mission unless I start a new game?

[Woodyplank]

As far as I know, there's no other way.

Would be nice if the devs would focus on patching problems like resetting missions and broken missions instead of releasing DLC. This game has the potential to be so amazing if only there wasn't game breaking bugs like this.

No fix thus far?

[SleepingIII]

same problem here please fix it

Here's another mission breaker for you: Let's say your mission is to kill a particular Caribou, pig, bear or wolf. You kill it but on the way to harvest it your game crashes. The mission will still show as active in your mission log but once your game crashed without your harvesting the animal it is gone forever and you will not be able to complete the mission. The animal will not respawn. This is why it's a good idea to save your game to a folder you create when you finish hunting for the day. That way you can simply re-load your save and try again. Just be sure you don't have Steam Sync enabled when you re-load your saved game and log back into the game.

can the next update be TRUFunctioningMissionObjectives? or how about, Mission Objectives 2.0. Having my story completely stuck right at the start of the map due to a bug is absurd.

Hello, I know this is necroing however I have found a workaround for this bug and felt that any brought to this discussion by google should hear it.
First, in the avalanche studios folder the game's save is placed. currently there are two folders "theHunter Call of the Wild" and "COTW". I have found that "COTW" is the actual current saves folder while "theHunter Call of the Wild" is either the antiquated form of saving or a form of backup. Either way the game will still read from "theHunter Call of the Wild" if there are certain missing files from "COTW". (If you are an older player then backup your save in "COTW" and then delete the file called "playerinformation_adf" and you will find your level and gear reverted or a much older state.)
I mention this in the interest of the development of future workarounds.
Here's how you work around the bug at hand:
First, backup everything (just for safety).
Delete "theHunter Call of the Wild"
Enter "COTW", enter the multi-number-folder
Delete the files "codex_seen_status_adf" and "collectibles_adf"
Boot up the game and you should find that the relic appears.

I have not played with this workaround much after discovering it, it will reset your whole codex but your trophies, guns, level, ect. appear to remain intact. Always back up your saves, and in the words of mister John Taylor
Good Hunting!
