[#2528](Timelines Epilogue) Grandma, where the hell are you going?! - Fixed in future update

[Macrino]

Timelines DLC - Version 7.0, release. No extensions are active.

What the title says.

I'm at the point in the epilogue where "grandmother" should be headed towards the player HQ. At the current time, my HQ is at Scale Plate Green VII performing terraforming.

But that's not where the mission marker is located, the mission marker is located way, waaaaaaaaay out of bounds (presumably in a galaxy far, far away), and that's exactly where "grandmother" is headed.

I would love to upload an image of the issue, but im not sure how to do that.

[The Q]

A savegame is more helpul to the developers than a screenshot, as mentioned in the sticky thread at the top of the forum:

* A link to a vanilla save uploaded to a public fileshare site and the open public sharing link for it posted in the forum, along with the steps needed to encounter the issue on loading it, form by far the best evidence that allows the devs to quickly investigate a tricky issue in your game.

[Macrino]

Oh,

Tbh, I don't really tend to post in any forums anywhere, ever. And so I'm not exactly sure where or how to publish the required save file. On the subject of saves though, does it have to be a "proper" save, or a quicksave will do?

As of what triggers the issue, well, as far as I can see just talking to "grandmother" and telling her about the signals you are investigating is what leads to the issue, there she will go to her replica of the Xperimental Shuttle, and fly off in the direction of the mission marker, which is a problem, since the marker is, as I said before, waaay out of bounds.

EDIT: Ok, I got around to uploading 2 of my saves to Dropbox, I wasn't sure which one would be most useful, so I uploaded one save from just before the issue (before talking to "grandmother") and another one after the issue shows up (when "grandmother" sets off for the HQ location)

Before: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/sxh6nng6 ... gddh5&dl=0

After: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b8g2i9bf ... ohdso&dl=0

Also, I'm running a custom budgeted gamestart, if that helps.

EDIT 2: Actually, I just realized I should probably have mentioned that the savegame in question was started during the 7.0 beta period, and only with the release of Timelines did I switch to the release version.

Ran into this yesterday too. My HQ is parked in Scale Plate Green VII and has completed terraforming. Fully vanilla game played only through official patches off the 'young gun' start (I think). Once speaking to "grandmother" she says we have to take her to see X (a certain scientist) but her and her Y (certain ship) are parked about 750k/m+ South of the player HQ.

Please fix this bug, thank you!

ADDITIONAL NOTE: I have a very modded M6 ship that does 10k+ and letting a pilot navigate to that point while I turn SETA on from the gunnery seat you can get there after about 10-15 mins. Once you arrive in a wreck/debris field she says something and then teleports all the way back to near the HQ ... and the mission continues from there. I don't recommend doing this as it can cause the game to do the weird things/display bugs as it will anytime you go that far off the ecliptic on the map.

Hey guys,

thank you so much for the report and the provided save games. I was able to track down and fix the issue. The fix will be included in a future build.

I also have an issue with this quest, in my case the grandmother simply sits in Heretics End, never moving, while having the command as move to PHQ. Would the fix here fix this issue as well, or does this need a different bug report?

[kreep69]

From 7.10 Public Beta 1 Changelog - "Fixed Escort Position being too far away from HQ if superhighway entry is present in Timelines Epilogue story."

Woot! Thank you ES.

From 7.10 Public Beta 1 Changelog - "Fixed Escort Position being too far away from HQ if superhighway entry is present in Timelines Epilogue story."

Woot! Thank you ES.

Consequently, I wonder if this is why I'm seeing what I'm seeing: this is a fresh-ish save, created in 7.00, in which I updated to Beta 1 and started the quest. My PHQ has remained in Heretics End, which doesn't have a superhighway.

I see the issue, it doesn't appear related. I'll make a new bug report.
