Resolved Merchant Caravan Escort, Defending leads to quest fail (1.5.4)

[Smith091]

Hello, my first ever bug report so bare with me.

When doing the Merchant escort quest (started in Myzea) at certain points the Caravan can be ambushed by bandits. Twice now when defending the Caravan and winning the battle I receive a quest failure afterwards stating that I attacked the Caravan instead of defending it. Both times this seems to happen when the Caravan is ambushed well using the alt+left click to escort them. I have only done a few others but it seems to not happen (or at least as often) when manually following the Caravan.

On a side note, when this happened the first time I loaded a save file during the quest from before the Caravan was ambushed. This removed the quest from my log entirely as if I had never accepted it in the first place.

Hi, can you recreate this issue and upload a save file saved before attacking the bandits to upload.taleworlds.com? Please paste the link to this thread in the description box on the upload website so I can identify it.

Hello,

I have uploaded two saves (link to this post in both), one where the quest does not fail but no rep gain for defending the caravan, and the one where it fails stating I attacked the Caravan. After further testing the only difference I can recognize that may have an effect between the two saves is the attacking and defending team changes.

In the save where the quest fails, the Caravan is the attacker and the Looters are the Defender. In the save it does not fail on, it is the opposite. My previous conclusion regarding alt+left click to escort doesn't seem to have an effect afterall.
