Harper not giving listening post location when handed Intel but says she's marked my map.

[Atakir]

I'm assuming something is wrong or I'm misunderstanding how this works. I've given her up to four intel at a time before and have received no coordinates on my star map. If I get her one or multiple, same response, she says she's marked a location but I get nothing. I've toggled all of the activities, I've looked through the star map and can't find anything. If I Buy a listening post location from her I get the "Follow Harper's Leads" quest to go to the post and then the array in nearby orbit.

Is this how it's supposed to work?

So after a few more attempts of buying listening post locations eventually she started giving them to me when handing in singular intel. I've gotten two in a row so far, is that normal?

Thank you for the report, I have opened a ticket to investigate. Which platform are you playing on?

Hi! Sorry I am on PC, attached are the mods I'm using via Creations and Nexus/Vortex. For the most part things seem to be working fine except for turning in multiple Intel to Harper at once.

I believe I also read there is supposed to be a UI element on the Star Map when zoomed all the way out for it to show us areas with listening posts/arrays in minor systems but I don't see that either. Not sure if I'm not far enough along to see that or if a mod is blocking that as well.

We have some information on UI funkiness here - currently won't work on a ship.

I will take a look into the issues with Harper, thank you for your reports.

UI Problems

Watchtower introduces several new UI elements, though due to restrictions with what we can do UI-wise from the base game, there are several flaws in the current setup that can cause these elements to be unreliable. The most notable is that our new HUD elements do not show up when you are piloting a ship.

We are working with Bethesda to come up with cleaner solutions to our UI needs in a future update.

Docking Problems

If you modify one of your non-homeships at Stardock, occasionally the game will force that ship to take the docking port your homeship did...

Thanks, I looked at the known issue with Harper and arrays and that doesn't seem to be related. If I do get the follow harpers lead quests everything works just fine with finding the array in orbit. It's just if I hand in more than 1 intel at a time that she doesn't actually give me a lead and I'm worried all the bulk intel I've given her hasn't counted towards Stardock Alpha progress.

Could you please share a save file of your intel issue here so that we can try to reproduce it?

I've started to experience the same issue as OP, where I only receive markers for the "Follow Harper's Leads" activity when turning in individual intel; also on PC. Turning in multiple intel proceeds through dialog indicating she's marked the map, but no new quest markers are added, and the activity doesn't appear in the log. My first playthrough worked like a charm when turning in bulk intel. I'm currently on my second playthrough

If I remember correctly, Harper also had a piece of dialog that triggered only when using the hand in all option, something along the lines of, "Got one, coordinates sent. I've also marked locations from the other intel." When using the hand in all option now, in addition to not adding any markers or adding an entry in the activity log, it also doesn't trigger the extra dialog (if I'm remembering its existence correctly).

I can confirm this bug as well. I tried to hand in 50+ slates at once. All of them disappeared, but the "follow harper's leads" quest never updated, and I received *no* listening post locations. Reloading from a save and handing in the intel one at a time fixed the issue.

Hi there - this issue with Harper not working correctly when turning in all intel will be fixed in our next patch update.
