Returning player after playing X2: The Threat way back in 2003 - having a great time - however.....
Reporting this to support the existing Steam thread on this topic.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/392160/d ... 483290402/
3 days into my playthrough, unmodified. I built a defense station, completed the build. Went to my HQ and selected ‘Plan Build’ and the HQ model was gone, replaced with the defence station I just built. I flew to my HQ and there is nothing there, no asteroid or structure, nothing, empty plot.
Have since rebuilt a new HQ in the original plot which operates as expected as a HQ when I access via the map, the old HQ icon is still there and now relates to and accesses my new HQ structure. The only issue now is that I cannot advance any research. Nothing is in progress but every new research option is greyed out and I get the message ‘Research in progress’. I have not yet tried docking to see if I can visit Bosa Ta etc.
I just unlocked the new Xenon research tree which appeared in the research menu but again, can’t start the research, same message.
I really don’t wan’t to restart my playthough, can’t face investing another 70 hrs into rebuilding everything I’ve created.
Potentially related to this bug, first reported in 2018 and now seems to be reoccurring…

Link to my save https://file.io/OEPXrH675AtD Vanilla install, just purchased the game in the Summer Sale - not modified in any way.
Wayward Scion start.
Latest version live on Steam. 7.00 Hotfix 1 ENG (I believe, no other updates showing in Steam community updates).
Thanks.

Re: (BUG REPORT) 7.00 HF1 Disappearing HQ & Research Broken
OK, I loaded your savegame and observed what you stated. I also tried visiting and talking to Boso Ta. He was in his chamber but wouldn't respond. Do you have a save before you rebuilt the HQ? The current one shows the results of what went wrong, but not why. Also, have you verified your game files with Steam, in case something has gotten corrupted?
BTW, I don't think that old thread pertains to your problem. They didn't report a disappearing HQ, which is likely why your research can't continue.

Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Re: (BUG REPORT) 7.00 HF1 Disappearing HQ & Research Broken
Thanks for looking into this.
I do not have a save prior to the issue occurring.
I have verified my install with Steam (last night) and the issue still occurs.
I’m not looking to replace the HQ again with the original model and build, if Bosa Ta is non responsive that’s also OK, I just want to be able to complete research modules on this playthrough.
What can I do to make this happen? Is there a config edit I can make to address this to counter the issue introduced by this bug?
re the links I shared to similar issues, yes one of the links I posted referred to a bug and research issues where the player did not reference a missing HQ but the first link in my post is another missing HQ bug that was reported which then resulted in the player not being able to do any research - here it is:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/392160/d ... 483290402/
Was there any investigation into this that may help?
Thanks again
