Seriously, it has been that way since forever, and we were told it's intended. If I really need it, I just save and reload.This is one of the exceptions where saving & reloading doesn't help. When I loaded the save to test if there are NPCs at the SCA space station, where the bug happened, the traders were still not there. Only after talking with other NPCs, they appeared.
The first you get to a missing trader you have to save and reload. Then just wit a bit, I usually walk till the end of the Trade Area facing the dock and back to the desk. I can see the trader "materialising". This is, probably due to Graphic RAM contamination (rubish left over other renderings). Unfortunately it is not a bug for Egosot to solve but (most probably) for Vulkan, as it is happening to every card I know of.Reginald_CZ wrote: ↑Fri, 27.

I strongly dissagree. Lots of timesit has happened to me in 6.00 in single or multiple dock stations. In some multiple dock stations if you wait 10-20 seconds the Trader materializes (Especially in the PAR Trade Station and the HAT one but that is the exception to the rule. As I said, it's not Egosoft's fault, it comes from Vulkan...Miravlix wrote: ↑Sat, 28. Jan 23, 10:30Stop using 5.00 logic to explain 6.00 issues. We got a freaking new graphics engine and need to forget what we know and start over and learn what delightful feature this one comes with.
So far the late loading of stuff is not part of 6.00, so it is impossible for it to be a loading issue that the Shipsales/Trader and other static NPC is missing, there is most likely even more missing that we don't notice because they roam or is decorations, so we can't "see" they are missing.
My HQ has 4 luxury docks, 1 trader 3 empty every time I visit as I always end up going to an empty one first since the sort order of same named docks changes every time I use the elevator. Warfs/Shipyards has one manned and empty Shipsale desks. If the station has a SINGLE trader, I've never encountered that person missing, but with more than one desk, it seems like the others has a high chance of having the staff missing.
