It started after skipping Silent Spade ... | Forums

Ok, here we go...
Went on to El Comandante after trying to fly Silent Spade out on helo several times.
Since El Comandante is on the same base as Silent Spade, now I am detected at the perimeter for El Comandante, And if I manage to get into the base for Silent Spade,
I am detected as soon as I reach or spawn into the building where Spade is hiding.
One time I managed to get Spade to the helo, and then the dialogue converted to the El Comandante conversation.

In El Gato, there is no El Gato visible, though the area is highlighted yellow.

In La Gringa, I reach her and talk, but can't get her to follow me all the way to the vehicle.

There is another instance where the VIP won't follow, but can't remember who the character is. I have verified files 3 times, but that has not helped my situation.
Any true technical support would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Mark P.

Man, a YEAR and no reply?? I'm having the same problem with the Silent Spade/El Comandante missions overlapping. If I try to do Silent Spade, the base is totally lit up as soon as I land, and the El Comandante mission plays. If I select the El Comandante mission instead, as soon as I enter the base it says I failed the Silent Spade mission and resets.

I know we're supposed to have moved on to Breakpoint (played it, hated it, beat it, came back to Bolivia) but is there really no solution to this issue?

Hi goldiesmarv,

Thanks for getting in touch. This particular mission you are having trouble with, could you clarify, is it the SNAFU Silent Spade mission or another mission entirely?

Sorry for very late reply. I'm afraid verifying files wont help in this situation. AI sometimes struggles in performing basic tasks like following a player. First playthrough is usually more affected than mission replay, so in this case, things do get better. Fastest way to fix disappearing/absent NPC's and bosses is to join a co-op session. Also, you can use a drone to mark El Gato when he starts patrolling, or find him in his building.

It's the first part of Silent Spade, not SNAFU.
There's a way around that. Use rebel spotting on the building where El Comandante is hiding in. Mark the target for sync shot or use a sniper rifle. This should suppress SB reinforcements, as El Comandante is already dead. His death needs to be confirmed, like in El Gato mission, but don't come closer until other enemies are dealt with. Rebel diversion can be used to clear the rest of the base. Enemies can't see you if they are dead, no people = no problems When going in, be careful of Unidad helicopters, they can see you and remaining rebels and will open fire, so shoot first.

La Gringa did the same thing on my first run too. Try stop/follow repeatedly and if that doesn't work, use you character to push or alert the doctor out of his house. They can meet halfway, it's not necessary for La Gringa to enter the house.

Solution? Sadly no, but there are workarounds for those affected. It was already answered in different threads with less catchy titles. Forum search is not particularly useful, use google search instead. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps, good luck!

Thank you for sharing the workaround that worked for you, venomgun1!
