Give us the ability to restart a chapter of the story

If the issue I have had for a week is as ‘widespread’ as “support” claims. Why not just give us an option to restart a chapter of the story?

Would going into a story chapter with the unlock for completion be all that game breaking?

Are you concerned that the ability would unlock twice which could be handled with a simple if>then>else line of code?

I have 40 hours on my save. I don’t want to have to restart the whole damn thing because the story quest bugged out and won’t let me advance the story. 

Quest says return to Minato. I have done so multiple times in multiple ways. 

If it is a matter of the return later option on completion of the Story hunt being the issue then remove that option altogether and point the quest to the next actual progression.

    Hi @GeneralGalaga 

     

     

    Would it be possible to get more information on the bug quest you running into?

    Are you using an internal or external drive?

    Are you using an HDD or SSD?

    Date this issue started (is it still happening?)?

    Is anything else happening?

    If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip...

    If on PC, please share a DxDiag

     

    Cheers!

    Date this issue started (is it still happening?)? approximately Feb 25 and yes

    Is anything else happening? yes

  • @EA_Illium the short version is the game thinks I am on 2 different story quests so it won’t advance either one. Selected return later after rescuing the carpenters. Game errors out. Quest is set to The whatchamacalit carpenters with a goal of return to Minato. No amount or form of returning will advance it. The next actual quest was Talk to Toga-Hime then talk to the samurai. Game won’t spawn the samurai and has a quest marker on the carpenter leader but she has no dialog option other than the NPC chatter.
    Can still hunt the 11 things I have hunted up to this point. Can still do side quests and hunt quests. Can even help friends advance their story but since we are “not on the same part of the story”, despite literally just finishing the hunt that bugged me, my game state won’t advance with them

    Hi @GeneralGalaga I would be happy to share this with the team!

    To check, can you make sure Guest story progression is enabled

    • Settings > Overall > Online > Guest Story Progressio

    Once enabled can you see if playing coop with a friend at that point will update the game?

    Hi @GeneralGalaga thanks for confirm, We just had a patch come out today with various fixes I wanted to see if you quest have updated?

  • @EA_Illium Didn’t fix it. I can keep testing with each new patch but not sure how much I care about that save file anymore since I have gotten a second one to chapter 4
