[BUG] Short Wave Radio - Cache Medium mission

2 votes

Something is very wrong with the Short Wave Radio missions. My Son and I were playing our Open World (latest update from today 18-11-2022 New Zealand). We made the Short Wave Radio. I am the host, my son joined my Open World session. When he opens the Short Wave Radio he can not see any missions, it states something along the lines of "Question are not available in this current session", I am the host, and could see 2 missions just fine. I selected the Medium difficulty old cache mission. The target circle appeared on the map about a square away from our 'House'. So we started to set out towards it, however the cache ended up being right by the house, about a square different from the circle. I could see the Cache chest, but my son could not at all. Whats more, the wolves around the cache were flying on his screen. They were totally fine on mine... The mission details on the left side of the screen for my son is completely empty too, like the mission is not even registering.

This is due to an error in our latest build, we're working on a fix and will get it out to players as soon as possible.

Sorry its not done in the current latest.
Cache still not visible by 1 of the people in the group. Its just bare land, while its a smoking crate on the other persons.

Confirmed, still very much buggy. Did a Hard Cache mission yesterday with my Son, and we could both see the cache chests, however they were in totally different locations to each other. Mine was next to a little hill, smoking like normal, no predators around it at all. My son could not see that at all, and instead on his map it showed it to be say 100m (relative terms) from mine, next to the river, teeming with wolves. But I opened mine first, and then his disappeared in front of his eyes, and the wolves walked off.
Things are very much not in sync.

There are a few other odd things going on too, like the drop pods, 2nd player cant see what is inside them.
Like if you do the one you have to grow crops and put them in the pod, then that launches and you get another pod landing with your 'prize' - 2nd player cant see contents of that pod.

There are other minor issues too which I cannot remember - however all to do with these missions and how they are handled for multiplayers. Few odd things going on.

When hosting an Open World and have someone joining, when doing a Hidden Cache mission, the cache is invisible for the client, unless you're standing on top of the cache.
This makes doing these missions harder when playing multiplayer in Open World.

In addition to my entry about Hidden Cache mission (a couple of days ago, but I can't see it anywhere):
Seems now also in single player the cache is visible; thanks for that!
However, when you log off before opening the cache, and log back in, all the animals (usually wolves) guarding the cache spawn within the crate bounds, and can't leave. So they're all in a very tight spot, and can't move away.
It's very easy to kill them with a melee weapon that way, but I don't think it should work that way :-)
