There is a missing rift in The Hinterlands in DA:I. HELP!!

I am playing on the PC, and I am exploring the Hinterlands. According to both the MAP and JOURNAL, there should be TWO rifts in the area around the Witchwood, but one is NON-EXISTENT. I've not cleared it and forgotten. The map still shows it as extant. The quest journal only shows the one I've cleared as being cleared, in other words, the quest journals shows 1/2 rifts cleared. I've restarted the game about 10 times and that has had no effect. Is there another thing I can do to make this rift appear please? I've really cleared all of the Hinterlands (except for the dragon and the last rift in the deep west of the zone (that one in the cave that's an absolute B**CH to clear LOL and I want to move on to the Seacoast. HELP!! Thank you!

    @sak1776 Yeah that cave is one to come back to much later. 

    In general you're better off waiting until later before trying to 100% any zone


    Anyway what's the exact name of the quest? It sounds like it's "Rifts in the Foothold" Picking a random youtube video, can you check if you've tried the location they go to?

    Thanks, I hope this helps.

    Unfortunately no. I've taken care of the one in your video. That is shown as 1/2. The one that isn't appearing is #2. At the same YouTube site, check out the video for Foothold Rift 2/2. THAT'S the one that just isn't appearing. I've zoned out and back in about 12 times now and can't get it to spawn.

    Ouch, It sounds like the zone tracking might have bugged then. It shouldn't prevent progress, but it would be grating for those who are into getting to 100%

    As far as I know if this is the case, the only way around this would be to load a save from before the issue occurred, but that doesn't sound practical at this point.

    Thanks David, my last play did that, on the forest cave rift though. I assume I cause zone tracking to glitch because I was testing a couple of mods, running Cheat Engine and, DAI Cinematic tools all at the same time. the game goes on fine, just can't finish one quest to close rifts, but that doesn't keep you from progressing. I speed ran the rest of that game, no problem running the main story line and getting to Cory so, just an annoying glitch that might happen rarely under certain conditions. (I'd guess some background task, or program, even if it doesn't affect DAI, tabing out and running it with the game running might be glitching it. Never had it happen before so, I think it's either mod or DAI cine. tools related.)
