[2021] Unable to start "A River to Raid"

@angrybarry Hey there! Vagn should be stationed near the River Raiding Dock. If he's not appearing there, there is a known issue of him being beside a bush. If you still can't find him, I recommend restarting from a recent save to see if he spawns in the correct area. If you can't restart, would you confirm for me if you're playing on an Xbox console or a PlayStation console?

Sorry to hear that you would lose quite some progress @angrybarry reloading a previous save to this issue. At the moment, this is the only workaround we have, but thank you @virtualawesome for letting us know fast travelling out of the area has fixed many issued for you and reset their progress.

Can you please make sure you have also met the following prerequisites of this quest -

• You have completed a story arc to claim your first territory?
• You built the Barracks in your settlement and recruited your own Jomsviking from Eydis?
• Your game is updated to 1.3.0

Hey there @pineandbamboo ,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

As it's been quite some time since we last received reports of this, could you please capture a clip of the issue as well as confirm the game version you're running on (this can be seen to the bottom right of the main menu)?

We can then take a closer look and raise it to the team if necessary.

Thank you!

Hi @daffytheduck693 apologies for the late response.

I am also sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues starting a river raid.

Could you please provide a video demonstrating this issue. In the video could you show which update you have installed, this can be seen in the bottom right corner of the main menu screen. Then load your game and show your quest log, then go to the area where Vagn should be to start the river raid.

I would recommend uploading your video to a video sharing platform such as YouTube, you can then copy the URL link into this thread. 

Hey @Arlie4, thanks for your input there!

Although it does appear to be something that has been posted by one of our team's representatives, I appreciate your willingness to help here .

Should you happen to have any queries yourself, feel free to reach out at any time!

Hey there @MarcoMav72, I'm sorry to hear that you encountered this issue as well. If possible, do you have an earlier save to load and see if this still occurs?

Hi @janguts apologies for the late response.

I am also sorry to hear that you are unable to start a River Raid after dying.

Can you provide more information please:

• Which River Raid quest were you doing when you died?
• What happens when you try to start a new River Raid? Is Vagn missing or are you unable to interact with him?
• Have you tried fast travelling to another map such as Norway then back to Ravensthorpe in England and trying again? If not please try this
• Have you tried completing another region arc on the alliance map then retried? If not please try this

However, if the issue persists could you provide a video demonstrating the issue.

I would recommend uploading your video to a video sharing platform such as YouTube, you can then copy the URL link into this thread. 

Can you also ensure that your latest save is uploaded to the cloud. If you are unsure how to do this there is a support article that you can check here.
