So I have just completed the "Special Quest" the trader offers to locate a new trader. Upon returning to my original trader I've found that they are no longer there. Has anyone else come across this?
Same problem but with the first trader quest. When directed to find the trader for the first time, the quest list on the right showed 0.0 for the distance. Luckily there was the marker on the compass and on the screen but when I followed it, there was nothing there. The marker was showing it was 30m beneath me so I turned on debug mode and went under the world to see if it glitched/spawned underground but.. nope.
Known issue when playing on old maps that aren't compatible. You need to wipe all previously generated maps and saves, and start clean with yesterday's update.
