Gansters disappeared in squad

[mrpolarbear]

I pre-ordered the premium edition and upgraded the RAM to 32GB on my laptop. The specifications of my laptop are above the recommended specifications published on Steam.

I was excited to download and enter the game. After playing for about two hours I had an issue: the gangsters in my squad (there were six of them) disappeared. I could not select any one of them and as a result, I could not continue to play the game. I had to restart the game only to find the exact same issue happened after I took over a building from a rival faction.

I tried many times after that and I reduced the size of my squad from 6 to 4. It worked a little better but this morning, the same issue happened. The only way I could see the disappeared gangsters were to assign them as lieutenants for safehouses across Chicago. I could not select them and I had no idea how to recall them back to join my squad. The newly released patch did not seem to resolve the problem as I just took a look at the launcher and the version of my game was 1.02.38645.

Hopefully, the next patch will solve this issue. Until then I will just stop playing this game as this issue is really a pain in the ass to play with.

Sometimes gangsters will get stuck on long walks. Start by teleporting your current crew to someplace you can easily find. Then TAB until you get to the lost lamb then teleport them to same place. Once you have everyone in same place you can either click nd drag or hit G to auto group.

Good luck hope it helps.

Thank you. I tried it out and something else just a moment ago. The issue (or should I say it's a bug) did not happen after a long walk. Rather, this issue happened right after a battle/fight for a racket occupied either by the thugs or a rival faction.

I got inspired by your thread and tried to unassign a lieutenant from a safe house. Then I tried to select him and used the alt+g to regroup with him. I was able to add him back to my squad and I played with the game for a while. It seemed that the fix worked out however I knew it's only a temporary fix for this issue.

I honestly have no idea what's going on with this game. I can only hope that they could patch it up with next update.

Um I think that's supposed to happen. Pretty sure when you assign a ganster as a LT he goes to work as a LT and leaves your party.

Unless Im just tired and not understanding your post... think its 4 hours past my bed time LOL

The gangsters disappeared before I assigned them as LT. I could not even select the boss (Al Capone) at the time. For some reason when I used TAB and alt+g I got him back but I was still unable to select the others or had them rejoin my squad.

There's something weird with the pathfinding in the zoomed out map mode. I've noticed when you order gangsters around there's times they won't do anything (though they do start moving if you zoom in to street view). I've had a couple of gangsters go missing due to ordering them to move somewhere in map mode and having one or two of them decide to hang out in the derelict building instead.

Fix would be nice, though having some way to centre the view on a gangster would go some way to mitigating it and would seem to be something of a no-brainer.

I wish they had something so I could group a bunch of gangsters and named the group with shortcuts like ctrl+1 and so on. That would allow me to recall a group quickly. I think they should include more information in the tutorial as well as the descriptions of missions. something like how to get it done. They did a pretty good job on CK2 and as a result, I had to turn off the tutorial and pop-up messages manually just to play CK2 the way I liked.

gangsters can dissappear if they're in a building you are upgrading. you get the zoom out thing and then they're gone.
happened several times to me
