Spraying contract completed after exiting the game

Post by Fin_farmer »

- PC/Mac/PS4/XB1: PC
- Vehicle/Tool/Model/Object: Sprayer (contract)
- Issue: Contract completed after saving, exiting and re-opening the game. Player doesn't have to spray the field, no herbiside is used.
- Single- or Multiplayer: Singleplayer
- Steps to reproduce: Take a spraying contract, save game, exit, open the game again. Contract is finished and you can collect the money.
- Does it happen on a standard map without mods yes/no : Yes

Edit Fin_farmer: tried with standard map without mods.
Edit don_apple: moved from german to english section.

So go try this on a standard map without mods and see if you get the same results before posting a bug that might not be a bug..

If you play the game you should know that the spraying contracts happens in once every two-three game "days". I don't have time to start an other game and see if this happens without mods.
I was thinking that the "bug report"- zone is here to report a possible bug and this is a bug - even if I have some mods in game. If the mods I have affect on this then the game should be fixed.

I am playing Felsbrunn map where I have the following mods: Ursus wrapper and round bale picker and the machine sheds mod; I haven't used the machine sheds in my game but the mod is "installed".

I have had a spray contract completing early before like around 50% but never had one complete where you do not have to do anything other than save the game.

The point of testing on a standard map with no mods is so they can eliminate that it could be a an issue with your savegame file or if a mod is interfering with the game code in some way.

It shouldn't take long to just start a new game and fast forward a few days to get a spray contract appear...

Have you tried to save the game, exit from the game and re-open? This is how I succeeded to complete the task without doing anything. The exit is the "trick" to complete the task.
I'm also using own tractor & sprayer insteqd of borrowed one
The task complete after 50% may be related to this too.

I agree that there could be something in the savegame, but the game should not work like this.. I may try a new game later, but it may take a while.

Yes tried this a good few times but is still at exactly the same point whenever I go back into the game..

Strange...
I just tried with a new game without mods:
I waited until I had a spraying mission availale, bought a sprayer, filled it, took a spraying contract and saved the game. After exit and re-opening the spraying contract (in contract-sheet) was finished and I was able to collect the money. I think the field status didn't change before collecting the contract, but the contract was finished.

Are you closing the game down completely after saving or just going back to main menu then choosing career again?
