Tidal Wave - Unable to complete due to machines not spawning

Support and Bug Reports
1

Platform: PC

Description: Reaching objective “Defend the southern entrance [1/2]” no more enemies spawn. I reached dialog that Calle is tired of running, indicating I was done defending. The steps didn’t say I completed the mission, though. Sat around for a bit, looked around the camp and nothing. No sounds or enemies. No POI’s or dedection radar (had to turn on those to make sure). The objective marker is on the Map, but not on the compass.

Restarting session or traveling away doesn’t work. After the fact I picked up C4 in that place contemplating if I should continue for now with side-quests, but that only happened after the realization that no machines are spawning.

Steps To Reproduce: Play FNIX Rising DLC mission, defending the objective area.
EDIT // I checked the log, read that some of the sidequests have been done without remembering doing them and I played it yesterday on a friend’s world. We completed the story supposedly, so maybe this is why it’s not working. I mean, the very starting steps were still available after completing the quest in another world, but some sidequests were completed all along. //

Place is empty now because of the attempted restarts, but the first time it was a field of wasted machines.

Every quest complete, every side-quest complete for Base game and Alpine Unrest. FNIX Rising only main mission progressed, no side-quests completed.

Shows on Map, not on HUD or Radar or anything else. No other indicators.

Says 1 mission completed out of two. Guessing it’s about first arriving here or maybe it’s about me defending the place.

Try loading a new save game, i know that you will have a huge progress loss but it’ll hopefully work or try reloading the game with lower quality so that the game can load faster because your PC might be struggling

Hello there @Pufty :wave:

Sad to hear that the “go-to workaround” for issues like this isn’t working for you.

Could you try…

  • Fast traveling REALLY far away (the safe house furthest away from this location) and then fast travel back and see if that forces the machines to spawn?
  • IF the above does not work, try fast traveling to a safehouse really far away again, quit to main menu, continue, spawn at the far away safehouse, fast travel / go back to the mission location and see if that forces the machines to spawn.

Did you create this save after the new patch + DLC or is this a save file you have played with on previous patches as well?

Would you be up for providing us with a copy of your save file?

  1. Your save file can be found here: Documents\Avalanche Studios\GenerationZero\Saves
  2. Right-click the save folder (containing “savegame” and “savegame.bac”) > send to > compressed (zipped) folder
  3. Go to https://wetransfer.com/ (No account required)
  4. Click the “…” button and select “get transfer link”
  5. Add/attach the .zip archive with the save file(s)
  6. Upload and copy the link
  7. Send me a DM here on the forum and include the link from wetransfer

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for reporting! :pray:

I guess I’m starting to realize the culprits of why things aren’t working. I checked the log, read that some of the sidequests have been done without remembering doing them and I played it yesterday on a friend’s world. We completed the story supposedly, so maybe this is why it’s not working. I mean, the very starting steps were still available after completing the quest in another world, but some sidequests were completed all along.

I think I can manage with the footage I have gathered in the state I was in :smiley: Either way, I’ll at some point do what @MVTracks has said and just start a new save. I tend to back up and delete saves to start fresh for some hardcore experiences, but this save I have isn’t 100% pure then. It’s been copied and pasted in my own folders.

I hope this situation gives more clarity of possible ways to run in to these issues, so steps can be taken to prevent it for those who might consider doing the same

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem as LostSoul0o described. Are there any news to this issue?

Sometimes it works by going to mission start with a brand new character.

Worth giving it a try

Just tried that. No luck :frowning:

It says “Defend the new breach in the defense 0/4” but the defense isn’t even breached yet. I think some kind of mortar destroyed it when I was playing with my buddy on his savegame.

The issue is most likely to appear when You play in Your Friend’s World!

For now, if you play with your friends the DLC, just carry yourselves through fully through the whole questline, it’s not very long anyway and side-quests aren’t that easily buggable because they’re even shorter.

Greetings!

Same issue for me as well. 0/4 waves defeated. Can’t seem to fix it by completing other missions or spawning elsewhere, restarting etc. Any advice on how to proceed?
