No contracts available

[Uncle Grandfather]

Anyone run into an issue with there being no contracts available anywhere? I completed the mission where you capture Victoria, and after that, there were no contracts in the same system. I've now visited ~12 other systems across the map (in and outside of Restoration space) and every system just says "no contracts available."

Just curious if there was some known thing here. Either way I'm going to have to go back to an early save because I already sold every spare mech I had an almost all of my equipment just to pay for the 7-8 months I've been flying around searching.


I visited border systems in the Taurian area, usually full of Federated Suns contracts, I went to almost all of the systems in the Arano Restoration, and then I just went to a couple systems in the non-aligned area, every one of them says no contracts available.

For that matter, I had no random events during travel in all these months as well. Seems like something is broken, I suppose ..

Yep, no contract anywhere for me now either.

Interesting -- I've occasionally had moments where I'ved had to travel to other planetary systems for new contracts, but I haven't had a situation where NO system is offering contracts.

What happens if you advance time for, say, a week or two? IIRC, the contract-generation-mechanic "refreshes" after some time.

Are you playing with any mods?

[Uncle Grandfather]

No mods or anything. (and not a pirated copy or anything - it doesn't show me as owning it in Steam because I got it on GOG. Steam forums are just more active)

I've just sat and forwarded time for a couple months in the same system as well, with no luck.

I went back to an older save before I even took the mission, redid it, and same results - no missions anywhere. It's the bit where Farah is supposed to decrypt the thingy, but apparently it never happens. It's a new game since the DLC came out. No issues like this before in the first campaign.

I'm just trying to fly from system to system here, but no good so far. The save seems to be buggered or something... not sure how keen I am to restart and end up with the same thing again... so hoping to figure out what's going on.

Maybe it has something to do with the last update? I've encountered that issue as well, but a bit further down the story road. Tried the entire restoration area for contracts - nope. Tried redoing the mission - still nope. Waited for 4 month - nope. Dunno what else to do

UPD: Also i've noticed that even tho you spend a lot of time wondering around - no pop-up stuff occurs

Not many have experienced the issue, but there has been reported success on the Paradox forums by doing the following....

Remove mods.
Verify the files via steam.
Re-start the game.
Move to another system.

Doing this has resulted in people seeing randomly generated missions again.

what are your reputation scores, if your rep is too low and the game's difficulty has spiked above the level of missions you would be assigned.. you will see none.

You need to do some random missions - next one will pop up - do not rush the story missions every one you do increases the difficuly level.

validating the files fixed it immediately for me.

[Uncle Grandfather]

Even a brand new game was the same for me. I deleted my old save and everything - new game, I visited all 4 starting systems a couple times each and "no contracts available" at all of them.

I did re-validate files (GOG version) and I saw a single contract pop up at one place in the new game, so maybe it's ok now?


I had the same issue as another person here too - no events or anything pop up when you travel or pass time. (I passed a total of nearly 1 year flying around systems and didn't have a single random event either)



So far re-validating files has fixed it. So if anyone else has the issue, that may help. Still a rather annoying thing.

[Wuss912]

yeah validating fixed it here too... did the update not update all the files it should have?

[Bor1sTheAnimal]

Gladly file validation did the trcik. The whole situation was quite unpleasent tho, wonder why did it happen?
