Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

[DUP][#3819] 8.0 HF4 Erlking Dialogue plays at weird time if captured remotely

This is a save made incidentally with my player ship autopiloting back toward my PHQ. Note that the Erlking is parked by the PHQ. I captured it yesterday in a remote boarding op with my barbarossa, dumping a bunch of 2-3 star marines on it in low attention. This appears to have broken something, which you'll see when the player ship arrives. A bunch of dialogue I would normally have heard some time ago gets dumped on me at once, including Boso suggesting I board the ship which I have already boarded. If you fly toward the Erlking, you also get warnings from VIG (who aren't here) to stay away from the ship.

This is far from the first time I've encountered this sort of thing, and in fact I think the way this game triggers dialogue cannot really keep up with the variety of ways players can approach it. For example, if you don't find the S miner in the Boron questline before you meet Nila Ti, the quest progresses leaving the dialogue for the miner to trigger much later when and if you ever stumble on it. But in this case it just happens that I had saved recently enough to demonstrate it, when normally it comes as a strange surprise that I can't conveniently replicate.

Reason: Adding DUP to the title, and the Mantis report number.

@ devs: Sounds similar to this (#3819) and this (#3704].
A dog has a master; a cat has domestic staff.

Yes, I've got that as well. Finally, after the third warning, the VIG station Keepsake becomes red for some time.
