Rival Presence question

[Kek Topus]

I am doing S2 now, and I need to do Rival Presence missions
when on main map, choosing missions, I have Rival Presence mutator tooltip when I overlay on certain region
but when I choose that region, Rival Presence mutator tooltip is gone, and only mission with a mutator is Industrial Sabotage with Litophage Outbreak
is this a bug or is it intended and Industrial Sabotages work as if they had Rival Presence going on?

[Big [REDACTED] Marty]

the entire point of sabotage is to directly combat the presence of the rivals

i'd hope so, but it'd be easy to speed through a low level mission to check for yourself

IIRC, it doesn't. In fact, it's not possible to have the rival presence mutator on Industrial Sabotage.
Also, a screenshot would come in handy.

Too late, missions already rotated. If it ever happens again, I will screenshot it

The S2 Rival Presence challenge is bugged for me too.
They turn into Lithophage Outbreak when I select them, if there is any in the first place.

The only work around I found for now is to find servers with the Rival Presence Mutators, but it is for sure limited.

Restarting the game, Switching season, validating game files doesn't helped neither.

I hope there is a solution...
I still have around half the scrips to get. R&S

Forgot to add that this was all in Solo, so it's not due to a host having a different Season selected.

Also at 1 occasion I got a Corruptor and a Core stone event in the same mission that had no mutators on it and still in Season 2.

And maybe another work around...
I have a promotion ongoing and the active assignment mission actually has a Rival Presence on it even if it wasn't showing on the main Map. So I suggest to open manually each biomes to see if there is no Rival Presence mutators 'hidden' instead of hovering the challenges' card on the bottom left of the map.

Do you mean the data racks or the data cores?

Data racks can only be obtained by completing Industrial Sabotage.

Data cores are from completing the random events Prospector Drone, Prospector Data Deposit, or Rival Communications Router. They have a low chance of spawning on a mission, only 1 of the 3 can spawn on a map at a time. They can not spawn on Industrial Sabotage. Hosting S2 and S3 increase the chances of them spawning. Rival Presence mission warning increases the chances of them spawning.

Rival Presence doesn't seem to be bound to any events. I did complete one yesterday and there was no "event". Only turrets to take down. So it's most likely like other WARNINGS... it doesn't require us to do more than completing the mission I would guess. Unless you consider turrets being an event.

I said it "increases the chances". Like all events, its not a guarantee.

okay
this bug is now constant enough that I can post update
when I mousover pane in bottom left corner "Complete 2 Rival Presence Warnings Missions" and little rectangle shows on main map it can mean one of two things:
1) there is LEGIT Rival Presence mission that I can host
2) it is Litophage Outbreak

For me it resolved itself.

And as I said, everytime I had a Season challenge with Rival Presence, there was one. You need to manually look on each biomes for it, otherwise hovering over the Rival Presence 'card' will only highlight the Lithophage Outbreak on the map.

S1/S2 and S3/S4 can sometimes spawn an additional mission with its related mutator, however there is at least 1 mission with this mutator if the season is selected for each mission generation cycle

The doublexp website shows this DRG current and upcoming missions[doublexp.net]. The same mission for unseasoned may get season mutators when another season is chosen

What this have to do with the issue/bug ??

If you select a Highlighted Biomes when hovering a Rival Presence Warning card on the map, and then select that mission, the Rival Presence won't be there and instead you see and have a Lithophage Outbreak.
It's a bug and not a feature... I have only S2 left and this is the only one that has this issue for me.

Sorry if there is a correlation about the issue and what you're trying to say and that I simply don't understand it.

The OP states that the Rival Presence mutator overlay on a region disappears when a region is selected. This looks to be some kind of mod as the only overlay you can see by default, on the region select menu is Lithophage Outbreak when on S3/S4 (my game does not run any mods)

Also could not replicate the circumstances described by you or the OP, your mission list should match the doublexp website and not change when the mission is selected

In any case, you can post on the DRG bug report site DRG bug report site[app.betahub.io], preferably with screenshots and/or videos

Thanks for the explanation, but I never installed a mod.
And the game isn't bugless neither.

I also saw that some other players got issue with S2 too.
Something about the season not having enough scrips... which could be related, since some scrips have to be claimed through season challenges.
