Bounty - Weapons Smuggler (Oblivara sector)

Hello Jeff Parker,

Could you please provide your affected Save file and a video recording? I could not reproduce this issue on my side - upon accepting the Contract, "GPSShipTitle" (Look of this marker is a known issue) marker is present.

Kind Regards,

I also have this issue and can't progress this mission.

I have attached my save game and a video (I think) of the problem. If it's supposed to be like this, there should be text telling the player to fly around and look for the ship, or at least provide a rough area to look in. I'm guessing it's a bug, though

I don't think it let me upload the save or video, so I will link to them, I guess -

Hello Russell Judge,

This is a known issue most likely caused by faulty World Seed. I have added this thread to our internal ticket (SE2-34806).

I can confirm this issue in build v2.3.0.2798. I noticed this issue from Vallation Station when I first encountered the mission. When I ran into the repeat mission in Oblivara Sector, it is also behaving the same way. Accept the mission, no markers - even incorrectly labeled or colored ones - were added and visible from Oblivara Station. (See first video.)

I have accepted and abandoned the mission several times, and I also turned off all map markers to reduce the displayed markers to a minimum. (See second video) Mission marker not found.

This is a follow-up email. After performing a check on the game's files, I moved on to the Helionis sector. When I tried this mission in Helionis, the marker did show up for the ship, and I was able to complete the mission.

Following a hunch, I went back to Oblivara and Verdure sectors and tried the mission again. The hunch was that maybe the mission was somehow linked to Helionis sector, and maybe a game restriction was preventing the mission icon from showing.

No luck.

The mission icons did not show in either Oblivara or Verdure sectors when the mission was accepted. So it wasn't linked to Helionis being locked at the time.

Next, I jumped to each sector while the mission was active to check for the mission icon in other sectors. For example, when the Oblivara mission was selected, maybe the mission was linked to an asteroid whose location was locked into Helionis and the icon would show there. Or maybe it was spawning in Kemik or another unrelated sector.

No icons found in any sector.

My only other thought at this point is that maybe it's trying to spawn the mission in Helionis or another sector from Verdure or Oblivara, but there's a distance limit when spawning missions. Because those locations are over 3000 km away at a minimum, maybe a game restriction of spawning the mission within a certain distance (for example 50-100 km of the station) is blocking its creation.

Hello Engineers,

This issue has been fixed in an upcoming Vertical Slice 2.4. Please note that the fix will only apply to new saves. On existing saves, you will need to use the Debug Menu to regenerate the Contracts.

You can do this following these steps (Please note that using Debug Menu will flag your save as "Debug Used"):

1. Make sure that no Contract is active
2. Open Debug Menu (CTRL+F12) → Gameplay → Contracts
3. Use ClearAllContracts debug option
4. Use ReGenerateContracts debug option
5. Use Refresh debug option
6. Wait a few seconds
7. Go back to Contract Block and accept the Contract

As such, I will close this thread.

Happy Engineering!

Kind Regards,
