Finley not showing up at after saving him. Checking multiple times between 20:00 - 00:00 PM,

Hey there Moon Studio’s.

Recently I started a completely fresh realm with my friends (whom are new to NRFTW). We started on Friday 8th of May. This is my second playthrough. My first Realm I started for over 7-8+ months ago.

I remember the NPC Finley. About 3 days ago I found him again in his cell and saved him. Started the dialogue and he mentioned he would be available ‘at certain moments’ in town. Now he’s not showing up in the town. I am continiously checking in real time between 20:00 and 00:00. I live in The Netherlands, so currently GMT +1.

I added a screenshot, while in Windowed mode, where you can actually see my time. I have not changed time on my PC. Everything is synched automatically with Amsterdam timezone.

The weird thing is. He is currently 23:32 PM showing up on 7-8+ months old Realm.

Hope you can look into this. Love the game btw!
Best regards,
Jasper

Thanks BakkaSupreme!

We already talked on Discord and ruled out:

  • time adjustment to your system
  • you rescued him succesfully
  • you are aware that the time window is in real time, not in-game time.

I’ll send this on it’s way!

Interesting, thank you for the report.

I cant post this in the bugs as it keeps claiming I didnt link all the files when I did so posting here

ALso I had multiple relevant screenshots but it said new users can only put one screenshot? A ton of restrictions that makes it really hard to submit anything

Anyway,

His store showed up once, his sign is still there.

It says past 8pm he should be there. I login to the game after 8pm, he isnt there

Another forum said utc time , so I tried that, nope, still not there

His sign is there, so he is unlocked, and he showed up the night I unlocked him, but after that has never shown up again

Heres the relevant files: Shared - Google Drive
Also I gave a link above to the files but it is saying I didnt so im just gonna copy and paste this here hope it works Attach a picture/video showing the bug.

  • Include log files:
    • Player.log and Player-prev.log
    • DataStore folder (as zip file called DataStore.zip):
      %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Moon Studios\NoRestForTheWicked
  • Include the dxdiag file:
    • Press the Windows key, type dxdiag, and run the program
    • Click ‘Save All Information’
    • Save the file to a path and attach it to your report
      Tried to create a tag but it wont let me create a tag

just a regular question for finley not showing up or shop inventories not refreshing (as it is the most common cause for this): did you by any chance manually change your PC system time?

if yes, this will cause shops, bounties, finley etc. to not refresh until the time and date you have set is reached naturally. so for example if you set the date and time 1 day forward you have to wait a day, set the time to automatic update again and it should be fine again. i hope you did not set the date to 2035 lol

if that is not the case, i am sure the team will look into it.

No I did not, thanks

I have never changed my system time

I realize it is real time , 8pm . I am in the eastern time zone. Ive tried 3 nights so far and he hasnt shown up except the first time when I unlocked him. Never shown up afer that

As an update he has shown up once again now, so not sure…

Interesting, also not implying you did anything wrong here because it’s been reported before.

Can you walk us through the timeline? Do you remember when you let Finley out of the cell and when he decided to show up?

I’m thinking there might be some internal event or threshold that needs to be checked off first before he shows.

Let me know!

Silas

Yes when I first unlocked him it was during the 8pm-12am , and he showed immediately. Then for 3 nights after I checked he wasnt there. Then the fourth he was.
