In Progress Companions stuck in "Holding"

[McGib]

Summary:
I sent my wife on a mission to escort a caravan which failed. That mission ended at least a week in game time ago, she still shows "holding". It says she was seen a Omer "today" but when I go there she is not listed as being there. I'm now having the same problem with another companion who was running a caravan for me that got destroyed. Same thing shows "holding" at Omer yet he is not there.
How to Reproduce:
Send a companion on a quest that fails I should think.

Same. This happened to me when companion had zero chance of failure and mission failed before the deadline with no notification.

My daughter is stuck as "holding" after losing a battle as she had her own party. It says she is in Zeonica, which is my fief, but when I got there I can not find her.

Does anyone have a fix for this? Can't assign her to a new party either. Can not assign her as a governor nor can I kick her from the clan.


EDIT:
So this is a temporary fix from a user on steam called yogurt:


"Update:

This worked for me (with Brother Nathanos being in HOLDING forever):

Enable cheat code (open “engine_config.txt” in your documents folder and look for “cheat_mode = 0” change the value to “1”) ingame by pressing ALT+ tilde and enter:

campaign.take_hero_prisoner "hero who is holding" "random enemy hero"

Chose any enemy faction hero. I entered "Nathanos" and "Ira".

After that you can find your companion (wife/family member) in a town and pick him/her up!"

You can just open the console and type config.cheat_mode 1
No need to go into documents folder. Remember to turn it off again with config.cheat_mode 0

Hey, i have been informed that the devs are working on the issue and the fix will also affect the already existing save files, so the missing characters should return once the fix is implemented to the live version. You can follow patch notes for the update or i can update this thread once the fix is uploaded.

Has this been fixed yet?

According Community Support on 21 Jan 2022 in thread: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index...holding-not-in-any-party.413838/#post-9781940

I have been informed that this issue is fixed on our development branch and the fix will be implemented with the upcoming patches. Thanks!

Upcoming patches, could mean at best (development branch, beta) 1.72 & (main branch, aka non-beta)1.71.

Not sure if they are looking at the fails occurring on "No risk of failure" missions, which are one of the causes for these stuck "Holding".

 

[McGib]

Didn't see this as having been fixed in the last patch notes, thats disappointing.

 

[uçanbiblo]

Hey, the fix might not be implemented to the game yet but it is done in our development branch. We don't know the exact update it will be released. You can keep checking the patch notes after the updates or we can update the thread if when the fix is implemented.

9 months later and still no fix. This bug has gamebreaking potential.

 

[Keldar]

its because failworlds fails at life. This is the kind of crap that has been happening since the beginning of the game. I JUST ran into this problem so well over a year and this crap still isn't fixed. Pathetic failworlds, just pathetic.
