Unknow signals Dissapear

After progressing beyond the first two areas in the new Survival modes, Unknown Signals appear to disappear when approaching their indicated location. The signal remains visible on the map initially, but disappears when getting within approximately 1–2 km of the target area.

When reaching the location indicated by the Unknown Signal, one of two things occurs:

  • The expected item/object is completely missing from the location.
  • The item/object is initially visible, but disappears when approaching it.

This appears to prevent the Unknown Signal encounter from being completed normally.

Possible Debug Mode Connection:

In the affected save, I had previously used the debug system (Shift + F12) to complete two quests that had become stuck and would not complete through normal gameplay.

I am unsure whether this is related to the Unknown Signal issue, as I did not use the debug system specifically for the signals or their associated items.

Testing:

To determine whether the debug system could be responsible, I started a completely new game and did not use the debug system at any point.

In the new game, the Unknown Signals appear to behave normally. They remain present as I approach their indicated locations, and the associated objects can be reached normally.

Expected Behaviour:

Unknown Signals should remain active as the player approaches their indicated location, with the associated item/object remaining spawned and interactable when the player reaches the target area.

Actual Behaviour:

Unknown Signals disappear when the player gets approximately 1–2 km from the indicated location. The associated object may either fail to spawn entirely or disappear as the player approaches it.

Additional Information:

The difference between the original save, where debug mode had been used, and the new save, where debug mode had not been used, may indicate a possible connection between the debug system and the spawning/management of Unknown Signal encounters.

It would be useful to determine whether using Shift + F12 can interfere with Unknown Signal spawning or persistence, particularly after using debug mode to force-complete quests
