So I killed a rival in my game, then game crashed and dashboarded me while looting it, loaded back in, says I still have a rival in the zone, but no rival marker is on the map, how can I remove the counter for a non existent rival?
Rivals can roam around quite large areas and even outside their spawned zones, are you sure you don’t have any Rivals up that just walked out to a nearby zone?
As confusing as it might seem, but that “Active Rival” count for a region, doesn’t necessarily show the rivals that are active in that region.
In reality it’s; “the number of active rivals that spawned in that region, but right now could be roaming anywhere on the map”
Check around the map for any rivals, and then click on them to bring up the profile. On the rival profile page it will tell you where that rival spawned. (Which is also the region you need to kill robots in to get it to level up, regardless of where it might be at the moment.
Its an bug, I have a similar bug (see my other post).
