Question to the devs about mission scripting issues

I just though of something when trying to sleep last night. There are a few complaints about missions completing prematurely.
I deleted my save files and restarted from scratch when the June update arrived. In the “The Road To Salthamn” mission, I noticed that it completed right after finding the first house, and then I couldn’t find the two remaining houses, probably because the mission was already completed.
The same happened in the “The Home Team” mission, where the mission completed right after picking up the archipelago map. Then I was unable to listen to the message in the car.

My question to the devs is: could this be the result of the attempt at retroactively fixing stuck missions? It erroneously detects a stuck mission, and “repairs” it, resulting in a premature completion.

Perhaps I should try to restart again, and do the missions in another order (like listening to the car radio before picking up the map). Just to test the theory.

this mission seems to complete after finding the map, the other houses and items are not needed
unfortunately for some reason they don’t let us collect the other mission items after the mission is marked complete. not sure if it’s intentional but has been that way since release.

Is that so? I can’t remember it being so the first two (!) times I played those missions. I seem to remember being able to pick the items from all the houses. My memory is faint though. Might be because I was in my twenties when the robots attacked. :wink:

just completed that mission again on my current save and could’t collect an answering machine recording, it let me play it but was being shot at by some runners so i was busy fighting them and couldn’t read the subtitles. now I cannot replay it from my log

Now that I think of it, I have completed many missions without collecting all the items, but what seems to be a new issue is that after a mission is completed, the rest of the items can’t be picked up. Am I correct?

nope, always been like that for me
it’s been one of my complaints since day 1
not a game breaking issue but it makes it harder to get the whole story

That explains a lot. :slight_smile: It’s weird that I haven’t thought of it until now.
