I think I broke the game, Redd won't appear? *FIXED*

[Que]

Do you have a second character on your account? I had this glitch and was able to fix it by using a second character to trigger Blathers and only time travelling a single day at a time.

Someone mentioned you earlier further up in the thread! I don't, and I really don't want to make one too so I'm keeping it in the back of my mind as a last resort. Trying to see if TT can help me (it apparently could for many others)

My birthday is set to Febuary 15th, and the in game mother character sent me the mom's cake even tho it's not my birthday.
Do we have the same glitches?

LMAO
time travelling too much really stresses me out so im gonna just live my life and see if redd appears normally w/o timetravelling! ill update if anything happens

 

[spinningmouse]

Ok so I wanted to let you know I bought a real piece of art from redd on a friend's island, time traveled forward to update the museum, and he's on my island now. So idk if that's a solid fix or not but it's something
also I really hope i didn't screw up her island ;-;
I'll let you know if she ends up having issues...she doesn't really tt like i do though so idk if she'll notice any time soon

 

[matt2019]

Some weeks I don’t get redd at all, but he still shows up from time to time

That's awesome news! Hopefully that'll prove to be an actual fix, more hopeful now atleast! Hoing her island is okay, though ;-;

That makes sense, but when I jumped 1 day at a time for 2 months and now I'm skipping 30+ years and all around, I think it's just legitimately broken and not just him waiting a lil while

Pretty sure your game might just be bugged, maybe reaching out to nintendo support can help?

When the update happened, I was already on the 23rd at 10 PM since I TTed forward and I talked to Blathers about the museum expansion. Since I didn’t really want to miss out on Leif I resynced my switch’s clock to real time and it brought me back to the 22nd and Redd appeared for me.

Best of luck, hope you get him to appear for you!

 

[hisoru]

I've been watching this thread too in hopes that a fix has been somehow found through TTing because until I came across this, I wasn't too aware of his presence at all. But when I really thought about it, he stopped showing up completely for me too. I hope there's a fix soon :<

 

[matt2019]

Well now I’ve got the same problem too. 3 weeks of TT and not a single appearance, and he was showing just fine before. Not very happy

Ahh, glad to hear you didn't quite make the same mistake as we did!! I'll be doing some more research, testing etc (and trying to get a painting) but I already thought about reaching support. I'm thinking that's a wise idea atleast!

I hope so too! I'll be keeping this thread updated if I find a fix (or not) but whatever news I have, I'll put it here. If you don't manage to find a fix, maybe it'll be here in the upcoming days!

Yeeeaaaah, it's unclear what his pattern is (unlike previous games where it was once a week, same day every week) but after a few weeks it's outright weird if he didn't. Hope you'll find a fix!

 

[matt2019]

Yeah I’ve seen tons of people time travel and complete their collections on day 1, so I don’t understand why I can’t find him ever now. I can’t find any info online either

 

[IndoX]

Time traveling messes up certain chain of events if you go back/forward immediately. For example, if you get the 300 balloon achievement and time travel either forward or back before getting the golden slingshot recipe you won't get the balloon again.

Yeah, I had imagined he'd be there on a particular set day once a week and therefore super easy to predict - but it doesn't seem that way? Maybe?

That's honestly messed up, I can imagine people not knowing would get the 300 balloons achievement and then turn off the game and voila - never get it

Hmm, that might not always be the case since I time traveled backwards/forwards after getting the 300 balloon achievement and I still got the golden balloon with the golden slingshot DIY! Granted, I did get it about 2 weeks after, but maybe it doesn’t go away completely?

Probably had to pop another 300 balloons to trigger it again.

 

[matt2019]

Yeah I’d be very disappointed if Nintendo is messing up people’s games because they time travel. That’s just wrong especially since we paid for the game. On 60 consecutive days without redd now. I don’t know what to do. I even re synced with normal time and started TT’ing again and it’s still not working

 

[morthael]

Uh, I don’t think so? I doubt I really popped another 300 between getting the achievement and the golden one since I’ve never consciously sought them out. And plus I’ve been TTing during that time frame too so in theory I should’ve never gotten it.
