Game is up to date, and I am seeing other people playing the event, but there are no pumpkins in my Ward 13, and none of the new aberrations are spawning on horde calls. I can only assume that this means the event is bugged out for me and won't start.

I have tried restarting the game and rerolling the world, no dice.

Edit: Nine totoal horde calls across Morrow Parish, Butcher's Quarter, Great Sewers, and Nameless Nest, none of which have had any aberrations present in them. Verifying integrity of game files did not fix the problem.

Edit: Event is not active on other characters, either.

Update: My Pumpkins have somehow appeared on what was maybe a fourth restart, but some people appear to still not be getting them.

restarting the game?

Update: I have received word that interacting with the Epic Games Store popup on launch, rather than just closing the window, even if you hit cancel, may be what fixes the problem.

Tried it and could go online now, but event still not available...

For me it was windows defenders controlled folder access blocking some of the user files. Event started working after I made an exception for it.

Gonna go ahead and say that @buoyant talon found exactly this same issue on their system.

#remnant-screenshots message posted a screen shot of this. This is a thing a lot of games have a problem with because some dev doesn't do whatever stupid thing Windows wants done to recognize an app that uses like users/username/appdata as location for saves as legit

#

There are now pumpkins

#

its funny though because remnant wasn't having problems with Controlled Folder access til this patch

#

so someone made a little oopsie in the patch i suppose

#

Thanks! so that was why... I actually updated my windows, my GPU driver, reinstalled the game, and then noticed the controlled folder notification. So I disabled it and wala

#

I'm not sure which one was the issue but seems like it was the Controlled Folder
