Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch

Three spawn markers (0301383D, 0301383E, 03013848) are placed slightly below the surface, so I've raised them a bit. Other than that I don't see any clear indication of why this would happen.

I've had this happen there as well. Hopefully those markers do the trick. I always had to setstage.
If other people are still stuck and on PC without Survival:
setstage BoSR01 40

When I first googled it, the communities said this only happened to some people. Not everyone experienced it. Both on console and PC.

I'm new to this. Do I have to re-download the "Unofficial Patch" to see if your moving the markers worked? Or will it update automatically? I do have my console set to get updates when they are available, though that may only apply to the vanilla games. When I first downloaded the "Patch", I went back to the Campground and saw that the ghoul was still inaccessible. I can try again once your fix has been deployed to my system, and then report back to you.

It will not be active until the next UFO4P is released. That may be a little while since they did one in June. Unfortunately, more thank likely, once that NPC is under the ground, the patch will not fix your issue because the spawn has already happened. The one thing you can hope for is that it completely falls through everything and the engine put the actor back on the earth.

Correct, it won't be in the patch until the next release. No idea when that will be at the moment. And it's also true that the chances of the issue being fixed once it has already occurred are not guaranteed. There's also a chance that raising the markers may not fix the issue at all (although I'm hoping it will).

I started a new play-through on "survival" mode. I'm noticing a few odd things. For example, at the shipwreck under the bridge, one of the raiders just moves across the boat deck as if he was a paper doll. No arm or leg motion, just stiffly moving across the field. Also, my companion occasionally disappears for a few moments, and at least once he was holding a weapon that I could not see (like playing air guitar, but with a laser). I never noticed those things in the vanilla game, though I played that in "normal" mode. Haven't gotten nearly far enough along to see if the ghoul still spawns underground. It will be a while before I reach Far Harbor.

Let's please try to keep the comments on the topic of the issue in the original report and not bring up other issues to avoid confusion here. If needed a separate ticket can be opened for other issues.

Also, as mentioned above, the fix I did for the ghouls is still not in the current release of the UFO4P. I don't know exactly when we'll be doing another release.

Makes sense. Sorry. You can delete the previous post if you like.
