    Bug Description:

     

    Players have reported to me that sometimes (rarely) when a player shows up at a POI to start a quest that they find the Quest Marker underground. In every case, the Quest Marker was placed on the surface when the POI was created. Initially, we thought it was a bug in the game when it placed the Quest Marker, and it still could be, but I've started to suspect it might be that RWG placed the Quest Marker in the wrong spot when it generated the world.

     

    Detailed steps to reproduce the bug:

     

    Steps in-game to reproduce have been very elusive. I'm going to refer you to a conversation with a player who was experiencing the problem and took a lot of time to try and troubleshoot the issue.

     

     

    Actual result: (description of what is occurring)

     

    Instead of the Quest Marker appearing where it was placed in the Prefab Editor, it shows underground. Sometimes it is underground in a different location. That alternative location might be based on the rotation of the POI. I suspect the depth of the Quest Marker matches the depth of the POI below ground level.

     

    Expected result: (what you expect to occur)

     

    The Quest Marker should appear where it is placed. It should not sink into the ground.

    A point of clarification: while it is rare that a POI suffers from this problem, when a POI is suffering it always suffers. Based on @Melange's testing it happened every time he had a quest to a specific POI.

     

    As the creator of that POI, I was unable to recreate the problem. I can confirm the Quest Marker is placed on the surface in the POI's files.

     

    Genosis had a video where the same issue happened on the same POI. In Genosis' case, the Quest Marker also appeared behind the POI in a location I suspect was based on rotating the POI twice for placement by RWG.

    Bug Description:

    POI zztong_NTT_HQ_01 (location 774.1 | 36.1 | -2320.2). Getting a Tier4 quest from closest Trader (Jen) to clear zombies. Quest marker is underground.

     

    Detailed steps to reproduce the bug:

    Get to Tier4 questing.

    1) Accept 'clear zombies' at NTT_HQ_01 POI.  

    2) Arrive at POI, quest marker is underground.

    3) Use dm, fly down to where HUD indicates quest marker is. Quest marker is not visible.

    4) Clear quest from player's queue.

    5) Accept same quest from Trader when the quest becomes available again.

    6) Return to POI, quest marker still underground, but flying down ~10 blocks the yellow question mark is now visible.

    7) Accept quest, clear zombies and get reward from Trader.

    8) Later, this quest will be available again from same Trader. The quest marker is shown on the HUD to be below ground (same location as before), but fly underground to where its supposed to be and it is again not visible.

    9) Clear quest from player queue.

    10) Accept from Trader when the quest becomes available again. The quest marker is visible again underground.

    11) Can repeat steps 1 thru 10 as many times as one likes, result is always the same.

     

    Expected result: Quest marker should be visible and accessible at player level on first visit to this POI without having to use dm and quest resets in order to activate the quest.

    Melange output log page 3 of 3.txt

     

    Note - I had to break up the output log because it was a long session and I had lost internet connection so EOS logged lots of errors!

     

    Also, my C drive does not contain a file called 'GenerationInfo.txt' - yes I included hidden files in the search. Any idea why that may be?
