Arlo still bugged
Arlo came to my workshop to invite me on a play date and i accepted, however when i arrived the place at the time, he had a quest active and then the date suddenly finished with him saying he had something to do. After that the mission triggered and i finished it normally but he kept following me to wherever i go and i thought i could get rid of him by going into the mines and it didn't work, he even helped me to clear the boss. I thought too that maybe sleeping would fix it but it didn't and now he follows me everywhere even if new day.
I attach some captures i did with the glitch.

Hi Tindalrose,

We are sorry that you're having issues with Arlo.

Can you please tell us the name of the quest that has triggered Arlo following you?

Yes, it was after the museum opening, Arlo appeared with an ! and the quest was training for the flying pigs. Run from island where the spooky cave is, to tree farm entrance where it ends. After the mission was over he started to follow me everywhere

Hi,

Thank you for your update.

Can you please verify your file by using the Steam mechanism so to make sure that you're using the latest version of the game? To do that, please follow the steps below.

1. Load Steam
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
4. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
5. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.
6. Please attempt to run the game and see if the issue is resolved

We're looking forward to your reply.

I did this yesterday, and it fixed but only for some days in game before the other quest was avalible, when i talked to arlo on the second part "training for the flying pigs", he started to follow me again and even when we had no date scheduled, "it finished suddenly" and again arlo said he had something to do and started following me everywhere

Hi Tindalrose,

Did you lead Arlo to the Peach Plaza and the Riverside to complete the second mission? Does the mission show up as completed on your journey?

Yes i finished both missions, the bug triggers if Arlo had an scheduled date or playdate and in some events like the second bridge quest. Also in that quest, there's a bug with the times since i took a commission for the bridge materials and in 2 days i had the quest failed even tho i had 7 days to complete it, after that i couldn't pick up any more commissions for the bridge and had to wait until they were done completley by the others.

Hi,

Could you please tell us the exact steps you did before the problem occurred, so we can try to recreate the problem?

The Portia Bridge issue has been reported, but it should be fixed yesterday. Can you please verify the integrity of your game files to make sure that all the data are up to date?

Thank you,

The first problem started with arlo scheduling a playing date with my character. I accepted and when the play date arrived, he had a sidequest active, when i got close to talk with him the date suddenly finished and he started following me.

The second problem started when i accepted early morning a commission for the bridge to the desert. I needed to deliver a bridge Tower and a Steel beam, however i had not enough materials and i went to sleep letting what i needed to be created. Next day morning, a message saying i had failed the mission appeared (even when i still had 6 days to finish it), after that i went to the comerce guild to try and accept another commission but i couldn't pick any more story related missions, but it worked fine with normal commissions, it went like that through the rest of the time bridge was being constructed. I can't say something about it was fixed or not since i passed that part already before the Update was launched.

I also have the problem of Arlo following me around everywhere. I had a play date set up with Arlo. On the same day the date was supposed to happen, the cutscene where he mentions Nora's interest in him happened. Now he follows me everywhere. Tried to un-trigger the following with a play date. The game allowed the date to start but when I tried to eat with him he ended the date saying he had to be elsewhere. The following continued.

After the last update, for me worked to verify the integrity of the files, close steam and then re launch everything, however this works only temporal because i got another 2 missions related and had to repeat steps to make him stop following me

I got the same problem but with Gust instead. I've posted this problem in the forum, but hasn't got a reply yet. I accepted a play date with him the day before, when his mission Paint with Gust showed up. Automatically the play date was cancelled whne I accept the mission and my character and Gust went to the place he wants to go. The canvas then appeared in the area but he didn't paint like he was supposed to, instead he followed me around.

After waiting around the area, the mission completed (because that's what MC had to do to finish it), the canvas disappeared, got my reward, but Gust still follows me around. Sleeping doesn't reset this. Clicking the follow option doesn't work either.

I haven't tried to verify the files yet, but could it be because we accepted the play date the day before the mission?
