Buildings disappearing from directory?

[Rocket Taco]

So I gen a new city, start it. Get a job, job gives me an apartment address to go to. Go to look in the directory, find not the apartment lobby but a restaurant or whatever with the same building name. Start nav, it takes me to a nowhere spot. Look again and the address it looked up was... just a street. I think maybe it's bugged out, so close and reload. Now NO BUILDINGS appear in the directory. Only people and businesses.

This has happened twice in a row now. I reopened the tutorial city and it produced the exact same behavior.

Am I doing this wrong or is something really, really bugged? Kind of hard to play not being able to find anything without a pinned location.

Definitely report these with the in game bug tool. They need the saves to look at to see what is going wrong.

are you on the experimental branch?

Nope, default install a few days ago.

I've also just got a couple jobs telling me to "Meet me at ." like it can't look up the location.

When that happens try switching to another job tab and then back. If you don't have another you can always open a blank "notes" tab to use for this temporarily.

This is one of the strangest bugs I have ever heard of. This has never happened to me, or anybody else I have seen on the forum, in the entire time I have owned this game.

Perhaps its a good time to quickly verify file integrity thru steam?

I just did a wipe and reinstall, including deleting the configs. Get a job, tells me to go to 201 Dekker Heights. Look in the directory, Dekker Heights does not exist. City Hall does not exist. Pick a random NPC, see where they live, can nav to that location but the building isn't in the directory. I'm not even getting the initial run where the ancillary locations show up now. I've noticed that I can look them up via the F1 menu, which solves the navigability problem (although feels like a bit of a shortcut). Haven't seen the missing location in phone calls repro after a few tries though.

The weird thing is, this didn't happen to me either, until I finished the tutorial and played a few hours on a new character in a generated city. I came back later the same day, sat down, and encountered it. Now even my saves from the tutorial do it.

uhh that sounds really stange, du you get that behavior with a new generated city also?

first time i hear something like this happen, so a bit out of clue here

Yep, 100% reproducibility so far with any setup I've tried since it started. Made like 10 new cities to be sure. I sent a bug report with one of the saves earlier today.

This might be just me, but check the street names. Those don't show up in the directory and I had to look my place up on the map.
