Unable to travel from Altair

[twolargepepperoni]

Hi Team,

After installing Watchtower and travelling to the Altair system as part of the story missions, I can no longer travel within the system no to other systems. I've tried saving and reloading the save, closing and launching the game again, etc., nothing works.

I only use approved Creations and play on maximum difficulty with no fast travel allowed.

Could you please advise?

Please feel free to ask for any file I can provide to troubleshoot this.

Thanks,
Ben.

Hi @Ben Nappez , I have created a thread for your post so that it doesn't get buried in the other thread, as they are different issues.

Could you please share your load order here, and upload a save file to this link?

Hi again,

Please find below my load order. NB: I've tried moving around Watchtower in the load order to see if this would resolve the issue but it didn't. I also tried disabling "Slow Travel" which never caused issues before just in case, no result.

I have the same issue after I jumped into the Sarhkrov(sic) system. I show something in the DumpInputEnableLayers from Watchtower, when I try to disable that so I can fast travel it still wont let me fast travel. I then CoC'd myself to a planet and I cant fast travel there as well.

edit: only thing in my load order is Watchtower.

Thank you, I was able to reproduce this from your minimnal LO save. I have opened a ticket and one of the devs will investigate this further. Had you interacted with Watchtower at all, for example, with the initial ship encounter? And when did fast travel get blocked - as soon as our creation was enabled, or after a period of play time?

 

[Ben Nappez]

Hi @twolargepepperoni, just so you know, the travel block happened to me as soon as entering Altair once Watchtower was enabled and the second main mission started. Were you able to reproduce the bug using my save as well? Thanks!

Thank you for the additional information - yes, I was.

Do either of you happen to have a save from before Watchtower was enabled? Or a save before this fast travel bug kicked in, with Watchtower enabled? (Even better if both!). Really appreciate the help!

 

[Ben Nappez]

I just uploaded a save from May 12th, before Watchtower was enabled and when I had no issue with all the other Creations I have. I'm now completely stuck and can't play the game anymore due to this. Thanks!

Ok in order:

• as far as I am aware I never interacted with Watchtower, that character turned level 7 when I got the explore XP in the system I got stuck in.
• I redownloaded the game and bought Watchtower when I saw the release trailer/premier on YouTube of Watchtower. Watchtower was enabled from the very start.
• The travel lock happened when I jumped into the Sahkarov(sic) system, I know now that, that system is sort of buggy because of the Ekland quest thats in that system as well.
• This all happened after about 7 hours of play time, initial Vanguard quest line done, and a few systems explored for XP/pirate kills.
• Sadly no save from before this as all I had were quick saves.

Hi @twolargepepperoni, do you have any news by any chance? Thanks!

 

[Dyvrik]

After a restart I actually got a watchtower event. I suspect now that when I jumped into Shakarov(sic) the watchtower event should have trigger but didn't and I got stuck.

Hi there - sorry for the slow response, this was a tricky bug to track down! I can now confirm however that we believe we have fixed this issue internally. I am hoping it makes it into our first patch, but if not, it will be included in the second.

That's exactly what I believe may have happened. I'm sorry you folks ran into this. @Ben Nappez have there been any changes if you reload the save, or if you roll back to before this quest triggered and try again? Apologies for the inconvenience here.

 

[Ben Nappez]

Hi. No change when reloading, tried multiple saves. I can't roll back, my saves before enabling Watchtower are hours of play behind. I'll wait for a patch then. Thanks.

 

[Dyvrik]

Since my issue was only like 3 hrs into a new play through i just started a new game. Thanks for the update.

 

[twolargepepperoni]

I can now confirm this will indeed make it into our first patch, so hopefully not too long to wait.
