Re: Bounty Hunters are bugged

@brandedrespawnI believe I probably went to all 3 as I walked around the whole planet, but I for sure went to the one in the ice caves that's just under the big crack in the ice ceiling (looks like it'll eventually collapse). There's just a regular big enemy there, but no bounty hunter. I also went to the one that's supposed to spawn near the turbines in the back (on the platform after the gust of wind). I just get normal stormtroopers, and a couple of baton troopers there ☹️ Basically the behavior is the same as it was pre-patch. I think the bug is different for me because the force pull tutorial was skipped as I died as the cutscene triggered during the fight against the ship. I respawned as kid Cal and progressed for a while, before realizing something was wrong and rebooting the game. I respawned as an adult and finished the tomb of miktrull after that. Not sure where the third potential location for the bounty hunter is in the ice caves though!

@Vinclive hmm, coming back to the Pull Temple as kid Cal isn't a great sign. you have force pull? does anything happen if you go back to the sarcophagus room in the temple. the locations in the Ice Caves are under the big crack and straight across from there by the Phillak

@brandedrespawn No sadly nothing happens when I head back there. I do have force pull though! The game seemed to behave the same as if I did do the tutorial, but I'm afraid the world state might be incorrect in some way. Wish there was a way to brute force my way past this part and complete the rest of the game, as I really don't feel like restarting. At least not anytime soon ☹️

I guess I did attempt every ice cave location as I went to all of these. I read in another walkthrough that you can get ambushed by Ba Gonk under that big crack INSTEAD of the bounty hunter, but that doesn't spawn either. I think the world state is just broken for those of us with this issue. There was another thread that described the same issue with respawning as kid cal outside the force push tutorial here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Huntsman-Doesn-t-Spawn-Game-Breaking/m-p/8471733#M2644

The user included this part, which makes me think we have the same "version" of this issue: "[...]Note: the game glitched out in the temple when the sarcophagus fell and I stayed young with only force powers, may have something to do with it. I restarted the game and it brought me back as Cal.)"

@VincliveI see. yes its likely the world state is bad. technically I believe you can continue the game (I've seen that speedrunners skip the bounty capture) unfortunately you would miss out on that piece of the game. I will look into a proper fix, but I don't have a timeline for you yet

@brandedrespawn I wonder if it'd be possible to integrate something that "resets" me to the proper worldstate, but that wouldn't be accessible to unaffected players. Since I can get to the ship when I'm not supposed to, perhaps having me interact with something there after Miktrull could load me into a different worldstate. Just spitballing though as I admittedly have no idea how complex this would be to integrate. Either way, thanks a bunch for looking into it! I really appreciate it. Please let me know if something can or can't be done once investigated, I'll put the game down for a bit but am looking forward to returning if a fix is possible. Otherwise I suppose I'd restart a little later, giving myself time to forget the first half a bit so it feels new when I replay.
