Split Curbs Mission Bug - Missing NPC

Post by consiefe »

I have a save which I put hundreds of hours but just as I got very powerful, I realised an important NPC is missing from my game. I'm at the stage of giving 400m to Yu t'Knk but she's missing. While I'm doing the previous mission in tree, I delivered the curbs fleet and a war ensued. Raptor ship got destroyed but curbs prevailed, I think quest didn't tell me that I should reload, instead it told me to wait so I continued playing for a loong time. Can you edit my attached save file to overcome this problem please!

I started this save with vro installed but it didn't work as it required timeliness dlc the only one I don't have. I uninstalled vro and continued vanilla, save has the modified tag but it's actually not modified. After empire update, I continued and invested many many hours into it. Can this situation be corrected with editing the save file? I wrote to technical support forum and the moderator over there suggested this forum instead. Thanks in advance.

Almost all mods tend to leave traces in the saved game after you uninstall it. To find those traces is very tricky and even then, removing those traces may cause other problems. You could contact the mod author who may have an idea on what could have caused the NPC missing.

It's very clear during the war the RAPTOR ship which Yu t'knk resides in exploded. At that time quest only said wait, it didn't say that I should have prevented the ship from exploding. So I waited and curbs won the fight even raptor is gone. Quest progressed, asked me 400m and I went about playing my save and saving money. When I decided to return to the quest, due to ship is no more, quest couldn't find a path to NPC. This is not the mod's fault, this is clearly a vanilla issue.

There was an issue of missing Yu t'knk (see this) but it was fixed some time ago.

Thanks for the response but as a responsible consumer, I already searched and found those topics prior to opening a topic here on forum. I have one sincere question, does any programmer even read what I wrote or better did you even read the situation I described. If yes, I'll apologize and drop the issue and my save and I'll put my game to rest. I did always supported and recommended you as a streamer. Such a dissapointment on my behalf.

First, let's clear up a misconception you seem to have. Moderators on these forums are not Egosoft employees. We're all volunteers, gamers just like you. And we all paid for our game, same as you. So in general we have no internal knowledge of the game. As for the save, putting the game "to rest" because an unsanctioned mod likely caused a problem with a quest line is a bit childish, don't you think? Such threats will never get you much help on this, or any, gaming forum. No need for a reply.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.
