Your link doesn't work anymore 😞

I was on "Hunt down the cannibal corpses," and running into Vahzilok enemies that run up to me, do the animation of a self destruct, and then start the animation again, not doing damage to me OR themselves. This honestly isn't the first time I've run into thus, but I think last time I just did an in-game service petition, and didn't think to try the forums. This time I was told to put it here on the forums if I thought it really was a bug. Thanks, NoRA

So I just walked up and took a mission from Monty, He called me PlayerName, but I was too distracted and ADHD to take a screenshot. I think there's some sort of missing character to make it search for the playername variable.

Oh! Thank you for the knowledge. I didn't think of it that way, so it's probably just my autism showing.

my brain was thinking "reboot the ISP" might mean (as a joke) go kill the people and form a NEW ISP so it'd be like a phoenix ISP situation. BUT how does "reeboot your isp" mean "reboot your connection? Maybe this is just my autistic brain saying "everyone knows ISP is a company, not a connection," and not knowing "common sense knowledge."

I understand the frustration, and I'm usually using my own wired "desktop" that I built and is actually UNDER the desk, on the floor. I still don't understand how "Reboot your ISP" is USABLE advice in any way at all

Ok so I think I MAY have found the problem. I tried verifying and relaunching, and it told me that the OpenGI driver wasn't working, so I couldn't launch the Homecoming launcher, but then I downloaded a new driver for my graphics card (I had apparently been using stuff set for my old graphics card?) and the game is running as I type this. That doesn't mean it's fixed, but it does imply the problem wasn't with my ISP.

How does one reboot the company that provides internet service, and what does that have to do with the game running out of memory? I DO appreciate the shard mention, because I HAVE been using mostly the most populated shard lately, so switching MIGHT help? I am having sort of the same problem on my self built computer, but again, I really don't think it's the network connection causing it. I will probably verify as suggested above and see if that fixes my experience.

Thanks, It doesn't because I THINK you got something wrong. I got the mission to go talk to him, and IMMEDIATELY did that, already being Resistance, I think. It was more than a week ago, and this whole thing was AFTER my brain damage, so I MIGHT be remembering things slightly wrong? Anyway, I think you're mostly right about this, but I also think I was given the mission to go talk to him and he pretty much immediately went "Science! For me, though, not for you."

Ok, so I tried the beta and that kept crashing, so I used the version from the website and it worked apparently well enough to launch the Homecoming Launcher, so now I'm downloading Homecoming onto my M1 with Sonoma 14.4.1 Thanks GM Manga!

Ok, to give more information, that toon started Loyalist, and switched to Resistance in the arc ahainst Mother Mayhem. I THEN did some missions on the loyalist side to try being an "undercover" Resistance agent working for Loyalist contacts. I THEN got the mission to go meet Dr. Hetzfeld, completed it, and nothing happened. I don't remember who sent me to meet him, but I DO remember him not showing up in my active contents. I was confused and decided to test it a bit more before posting this here as repeatable.

So basically I was TRYING to be undercover, and failed miserably

Thank you. THIS I think you got right, and I got wrong. I had a hard time believing it, but I just outleveled the contacts while trying to play a double agent, and wasn't able to officially switch.

Now THIS I can say you might have wrong. I HAVE gone to contacts in Nova Praetoria as the "wrong" alignment, and they DO talk to you, because all your contacts initially in Nova are "Loyalist" and they're supposed to be available to everyone. I DID make resistance characters without doing any other "morality" stuff, and still got missions from Cleopatra.

Ok, I doubt that, but maybe I'm wrong, so I'll find another contact to try things with. I DO think it's really weird that I got a mission to go meet him and then he didn't give me the time of day...
