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

[cheezu]

To be honest, the issue of adjusting the clock manually via the Switch's settings worries me, which is why I only TT'd once in this game.
I wonder if it could cause potential bugs especially for those who jump years and years ahead of time.

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

It would be weird, that'd potentially ruin it for those not TTing as well if they accidentally miss it :C

So far, adjusting many years hasn't and probably won't be an issue - it's a lot safer in this game than any other. But I'm thinking my lesson is learned with future updates; no TT until I know with certainty I got everything lmao

Honestly, I don't think it's entirely Time Traveling's fault. I would imagine if you hadn't talked to Redd for the whole day and let it go to tomorrow, the same problem will happen. I Time Travelled forward to get turnips and I still got the problem.

this is what i suspected too! which makes it much much worse of a bug

Have you been able to get any genuine pieces of art from someone else to see if you can fix it by donating it?

 

[sigh]

okay so, i'm an avid time traveler - but the night the update was released i synced my switch clock and went back to the right date/time, downloaded the update, went in and talked to leif for bushes, and didn't care to find redd at that point so i continued time traveling. eventually loading into the game again, i finally decided to talk to blathers, he told me he'd need me to donate a piece of art for the museum expansion - soon after i unintentionally ran into redd walking around my island where i triggered him selling me a genuine painting. i donated it to blathers, tt'd, and the next day i found redd again walking around and talked to him. that's when he brought up his ship and docking at my island to sell his stuff. went to his boat once after that and bought from him, and i haven't been back since because i just haven't been interested enough atm (current priority is to achieve all of my dreamies). he didn't seem bugged to me, he seemed fine. and while i haven't actually cared to look for him since, i just assume he docks at my secret beach without any notif from isabelle - i didn't realize she's supposed to mention it?

but ofc i could be wrong! i may have to see if i can find him again. he could just have scarce appearances, or perhaps he really is bugged. i'm gonna keep my eye out for him

Exactly, that's why this is a serious issue even if in my/our case it was due to time travelling. This needs a fix for ALL of us ><

Also if it spreads, apparently those who tried to help me or others haven't seen Redd since D:

I tried! Went to a friendly poster in the thread's island and bought a painting I THOUGHT was genuine (Wistful painting/Girl with pearl earring) since in NL the fake was red.. I didn't look properly at her earring being a star in the fake one lmao
I still need a real painting to try it out!

I find this sort of hard to believe if im honest because i dont understand how that would even work with code and such?? it could be possible though, i know very little about it
Its probably more likely a coincidence

I can't expect people to read the whole thread (I should update the first post) but the issue lies 100% in the fact we spoke to Blathers, but never Redd. We TTed before we ever talked to him, and he never came back for most of us. If we speak to Blathers again, he'll just be normal except telling us he's still waiting for a fine piece of art

Maybe so, but it could maybe mess up the code when I visit because it "syncs" with mine? And if mine is glitchy, then it could cause errors in general
Even just 1 tiny error is enough;; I don't know enough either though

I'm currently TTing a lot (going forward only) so I'll post a message here if he shows again in my island. Maybe then you can buy a genuine painting/statue and see if it'll fix the issue.

I'm also in a discord group with hundreds of thousands of people, the glitch section is pretty active. Apparently someone with your issue fixed it by TTing back to the date when he was originally supposed to show up. Don't know how accurate this is though since only one person has mentioned it.

Anyway, will let you know.

I already TTed back several times actually (Can't blame me for trying LMAO) to the 22nd, 23rd and 24th to find him - no luck.

PLEASE do, that'd absolutely save me if it works - and if it DOES prove to work, I think a lot of people could benefit from it too. Doesn't seem like I'm the only one BY FAR ;_;

I think his spawn rates are super low too. I've already seen him twice (the first time when he is just wandering around and then the second time when he invites you into the boat) But I've TT'd a lot after that and haven't had him show up again. It's been at least a month since his last visit.

Hopefully he'll show up again soon. I keep my game on that date and invite a few people in if it fixes it. Then you guys can help other people and so on.

 

[moonolotl]

Has someone reported the issue to nintendo? everyone with the issue should probably do it, as we'll have more of a chance of getting a fix

You'd be an actual lifesaver - and yeah, it seems he's quite rare maybe? Just confusing since some people seems to already have so many lmao

He doesn't always sell 2 genuine pieces of art each time he's there, so it's up to you whether you want to sacrifice that or not if there's only 1 (I'd be more than willing to pay for your troubles though!)

I haven't yet, but I'm thinking we should!
Gonna file a report right now, hoping other people will too!

I forgot that his stock was limited so I guess I can only help one person. You can pay it back by staying in this thread and helping another person if your problem gets fixed.

Q_Q You're an angel, I absolutely will! In the meantime I'll continue to TT and see if it's a potential fix too

No luck so far. But I'm also taking the time to collect mushrooms inbetween time travels.

 

[matt2019]

My issue is different than most. I had redd several times and then he just randomly stopped appearing. As in it started in a different way than it did for most of you. So I don’t know how to fix it

either the same thing has happened in that redd has been glitched from returning or maybe youre just getting terrible luck and hes refusing to visit? im not sure how far youve checked so
i have this thread watched so im just hoping someone will find a solution, it might be a good thing for you to do too if you havent already since the solutions may be the same?

Yeah I do time travel a lot, and I went 2 weeks without him once and then he showed up, but it’s been 2 months worth of days now and nothing. Nintendo better fix this because it’s preventing me, and many other players from obtaining the paintings. I have no idea how to fix it or if we have to wait for a patch
