@Hugo, @Ignasi So back in May, myself and a couple others reported that Zrist of the Blade, a very rare Votaries purge fighter, had simply vanished from our servers.
Well, I think that they might not have actually died, because while my server was rebooting from today’s patch, I spotted this interesting tidbit in the console output:
[2020.07.09-13.47.44:329][ 0]ConanSandbox:Warning: ReportThrallSpawnFailure: {“m”:“AIController class invalid.”,“s”:“ZristoftheBlade”,“p”:“Fighter_5_Purge_Strong”,“t”:3,“tis”:“ZristoftheBlade”,“tit”:0,“log”:[{“timestamp”:0,“name”:“Start”},{“timestamp”:0,“name”:“ThrallCompDone”},{“timestamp”:0,“name”:“ProgrAttrCompDone”},{“timestamp”:0.002,“name”:“AIStart”},{“timestamp”:0.002,“name”:“InvStart”},{“timestamp”:0.002,“name”:“StatStart”}]}

Not sure if that will help the devs to restore him, but it’s the only useful or relevant troubleshooting info I’ve been able to find regarding this guy.
Interestingly, Zrist still shows up in the NPC spawner menu, but when you click on them, no NPC is spawned either in-world or added to inventory (if the checkbox is ticked), and no mention is made in either the server console or event log.
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
- Have had a Zrist of the Blade deployed as an thrall on your server at some point
- Restart the server and watch the console output
- See messages stating “AIController class invalid” in reference to them
- Wonder if your badass fighter might still be alive but trapped in an alternate dimension
