I redo events starting at the Emission in the previous video. I'm not sure why at this point in writing, other than I wanted to be more prepared for the Monolith attack. However, it doesn't happen the same. What I did notice is that my PDA was now displaying with missing content. When you looked at my outstanding tasks, the icons for their map location, to match the written description, are now missing. When I would take new jobs, the needed icon for their location would be missing. At this point I was not sure what to do next.

I actually continued on, going to the helicopter and retrieving the tools for Mangun and the black box for Skinflint. I returned to Rostok, gave Mangun the tools and got 1st tier upgrades on my weapons, armor and helmet. Then I went to Garbage, met some Bandits at the Flea Market and then went back to Rostok. I set out again for Garbage, did a lot of looting of known and activated stashes and then went to the Cordon. Overall, there were six more videos covering over an hour of real time that converted to a whole day more in the Zone.

However, I came to the realization, especially from playing Call of Chernobyl over the years, that when your PDA gets bugged, it means your Game is corrupted. This can happen when your Game crashes or at some point there was a bad corrupted save and it becomes apparent when there is missing information, or in my case missing icons on my PDA that are supposed to help me locate or find people, places or items. I realized the only way to fix this was to go back in time to a manual save where my PDA was still working properly. This turned out to be going back a full day and losing all that progress, when I was back in Rostok ready to return to the Army Warehouses for the first time. So, I decided not to post those six videos, and instead the next video will be where I am back at the Freedom Base getting ready to go back to the helicopter. Just know I had no choice and if your PDA gets bugged too, you must do the same as I did.
