Merida doesnt move when hanging out with her. I also dont get the hang out bonuses (from harvesting)
Theres also an issue where other villagers like Timon and Beast stand inside of her, making it impossible to talk to her. I have to first hang out with that another npc to move them, before i can get to Merida

Issue: Flynn
Flynn runs back to the trial entrance when trying to give extra snippets when he is a snippet catcher trait. (He seems to run back to the spot that he was in when you first come into the game. This second play through, he is running back to a spot in the Wild Woods where he stood when I talked to him first)

I assigned Merida the net role and sometimes no matter where I am. She will run all the way to a specific area in the bind to give me the extra snippet. *update, Hades is also doing the same.

#

Platform: switch
Issue: ive buddied up with merida as a snippet bonus. However if she gives u a bonus, she runs to a totally different area to do it and it is often so delayed that the items just spawn randomly on the ground (and not glowing so manually have to pick up). Its very strange and a pain in the butt.

verbal sonnet Nov 21, 2024, 2:23 AM

#

Switch: Merida is a snippet buddy and if she's giving a bonus for the snippets she glitches out and twitches AND runs (backwards sometimes lol) all the way to a specific point in the Bind.

Flynn has a quest but he is not present on a map unless I enable him to be on the map.
Hades has a quest and he is present on all maps whether I enable him or not.
I believe Flynn's behavior is not correct but Hades' behavior is correct.
Flynn does not even appear to be at home when not enabled.

Issue (Include NPC Name): It seems that with fast traveling in Storybook Vale, characters from the main Valley get stuck at the well. I can talk to them and say goodbye, but this isn't enough to unstick them. So I have to find a different rock miner to get my bonuses. So far, this has happened with Scrooge and Stitch, both rock miners.

Whenever you have a companion with you, they take up to 30 seconds before giving you the bonus materials/ingredients and most of the time if you go from biome to biome they will stay in the previous biome and won’t follow you till about 2 to 3 minutes later.

problem: in the Vale, Ursula is swimming to water that isn't reaching by the player. Sometimes it seems like she's waiting for you to interact with her (like she's in a spot of the "ocean" that should be close to you but it's just outside of range

AND she's going to water locations not available to players (I will open the map and she is in the river of a biome i haven't unlocked yet, and I don't think that's intentional)

Platform: PC
Issue: Like others have pointed out, just clarifying it's all of them: When I hang out with a buddy, randomly they will become "phantoms" that I can walk through, and they don't move or do anything. I can interact/chat with them, but they don't follow or give items. They'll TP to wells, but then just stand there. I can't seem to figure out the trigger - sometimes it's fast travel that breaks them, sometimes chatting with someone else, leaving a building, taking a picture... basically just broken.

Platform: Steam (PC)
Issue (Include NPC Name): The pathing for NPC's with the Snippet Catching hangout bonus is glitched. Upon login it works normally. Once you interact with a node for another hangout bonus such as mining then return to snippet catching the snippet bonus npc will start pathing back to that last non-snippet node to grant your bonus. If the node is too far sometimes they'll stop short and grant the bonus. Other times you'll see them path all the way to that last node even if it's in a different biome (sometimes moving sideways). I've tested this with Hades, Merida, and Flynn doing digging, mining, fishing, harvesting, and foraging all with the same result. The issue seems to persist between switching hangout buddies and only seems to resolve by exiting to the title screen.

Having this issue with all snippet catching characters. It happens when you do any other task other than catching snippets, such as mining something or picking up a harvestable. They will run to the last spot you did that task. You can get them to stop by going to either the base game valley or Eternity Isle and doing a task there, then going back to the vale.

A few times now I have been doing a task with an NPC I'm hanging out with and we become stuck together and my character cannot move or release from them. I've tried porting to another biome but we arrive still stuck together. I tried porting to a realm, since they shouldn't be able to go with me, but end up in the air above the realm with all the NPCs in the air too, at various distances and heights. The only thing I can do is a forced exit.

The NPC lagging issue that started a few updates ago is really making the difficult to enjoy. I want to “hang out” with companions, not have them trail me by a mile and pick up extra resources a full minute after I collected them. I’m not talking about the snippet issues, this is with any hang outs and any resource. Something clearly changed to introduce a regression in their following/collecting extras behavior.

Issue: Often when hanging out with an NPC, they will get “stuck” in place and stop following or providing extra bonuses. In these cases, they usually appear on the map but you walk through them instead of pushing them. You can still interact with them and if you teleport, they appear at the new well with you, but don’t move further. Stopping hang out doesn’t fix it.

Buddies frequently get "stuck" by wells. It doesn't seem to be any one character in particular. I've seen it happen with several. In this picture, I'm supposed to be hanging out with Pumbaa, but he hasn't moved from the well. Earlier, he was also stuck outside Scrooge's Store in the Vale. On that occasion, I couldn't even push him, I just walked right through him.

May be due to quest "Decay to Grow" because you meet her in the mines with the composte bin.

Issue: Elsa MISSING from game -

Hey guys, i did contact gameloft support but i was wondering if anyone else has had my issue and knows of any fixes. This is NOT the “breaking the ice” quest bug as i have that quest completed with the ice broken. The issue is i cannot find Elsa anywhere in the game immediately after completing that quest. The map shows she is in the cave, but when I enter she is not inside. This has been going on for days, so just waiting for her to come out also doesn’t seem like a fix. I cannot progress with the forgotten relics, because I can’t find Elsa to start the “singing ice” quest. I recently restarted my game and have over 1,000 hours in total but i have never experienced a glitch or bug that is game breaking like this. Ive wanted to get sally literally since Jack was dropped and i’m so disappointed that i can’t continue. Ive tried every fix i could find on forums for “breaking the ice” issues, but since again i already completed that quest, none of those suggestions have helped. Thanks for reading. please ignore my fussy baby in the backround lol he is teething

Sometimes after re-entering a couple times they will show but plenty of times they dont. Will this ever be fixed please? Its moreso frustrating when handling quests, thank you.\

Vanellope - sometimes doesnt load in / is invisible. Only being seen because of sparkles & ger Glitch idle animation. This is the second time this happened

Edit: talked with other players -- my current suspicion is that ger glitching idle animation is buggy/sometimes does not play out fully for some reason. That causes her to stay invisible long term (instead of her short teleports). For me this fixes itself either by restarting the game or - if you are lucky - next time the glitch idle plays a few minutes later it will fix itself

Screenshot/Video: When inside Merida's house for the "Archery and Archival Quest", Merida and Flynn do not start their conversation. Tried hanging out with both as buddies, entering and exiting the house multiple times, the "What should I do?" chat function; none have worked. While in the house, Meridas hitbox doesnt seem to work: Flynn gets pushed when walking into him, I walk through Merida when walking into her.

Platform: all
Issue: Elsa and Scar respectively getting stuck perpetually "in their home" at the beginning or end of a quest. For Elsa, it seems to be related to beginning a quest, most often Breaking the Ice. For Scar, it's the completion of Nature and Nurture. The npc shows "at home" but never spawn when entering their home or exiting their home, even when disabling or enabling them respectively on the map.

The only workarounds that have worked with tons of patience and limited success are:

Opening the multiplayer portal and hoping it coaxes them out/forces them to appear. Cons: not all console players have multiplayer capabilities.
Use one of the interactive npc-gathering camera items, such as: the NYE backdrop, festive market stand, haunted gazebo, bonfire, etc. This works best when the player has no other active quests and can effectively disable everyone on their map prior to use. Cons: the only interactive photo items in game either required players to play in the summer (or hope someone still had marshmallows) or purchase the items from the premium shop.

These issues are causing the inability for players to progress past the Elsa specific star path task, as well as the inability to continue the main story and unlock Jack and Sally.

PC EPIC GAMES: This happens a lot with me too, with any character, mainly when we are in Storybook Vale, the way i fix it is making them to stop to follow me and i change to another map, and when i come back they are normal, BUT, this is very annoying to do all the time they get stucked like that.
