    I thought old friends, old swords was fixed?

    or at least, I thought patch 1.013 has a failsafe to keep the mission advancing.

    Accepted mission, watched cinematics, traveled to farm. No ranchers to rescue, but plenty of bandits guarding a waypoint.

    Abandoned mission, tried again. Same result. All available side missions are complete, if that's relevant. Logged out, logged back in, tried again, same result.

    Is there a trick I am missing, or is this still bugged (Xbox 360 NA)?

    Well, judging from how many fixes were supposed to be in the big 1.01 patch that have never shown up yet, it wouldn't be hard to assume that even if the patch notes say it fixed the mission, that the mission isn't fixed.

    2nd play through the story, and 2nd time this mission has been bugged from the start... no ranchers spawning! Pretty lame that this bug is still present, as it is pretty game breaking if you can't advance the main story.

    it happen to me first playthough, but after playing a coop map i came back to it. and there were the ranchers... i dont know if they consider it an emergency or what.. but it hard to tell when its suppose to reset. not looking forward to getting stuck there again on my second playthrough

    I was able to resolve this by having a friend send me a party invite to join his game. After a brief load screen to join his game, the ranchers were there for me to save and I was able to complete as normal, so I would suggest trying that if possible.

    I tried running instanced maps (both co-op and pvp) and that didn't cause them to respawn, only the game invite.

    I didn't see your post and posted the exact same thing except I have a PS3. I have had no responses probably because of this post. Totally did what you did very frustrating to say the least and it isn't solely an Xbox glitch I see now. Just fix it!

    As soon as i submitted a ticket i managed to complete it somehow.Think it's pure luck at the moment.Took me at least 10 tries though.

    I had the a similar problem(on PC) in mine during the cinematic the screen would get a yellow look to it that would stick around afterwards , kinda looked like a yellow dome around me. Would go to the point and nothing
    but raiders would be there. So I abandoned the mission and took it again same yellow crap and no ranchers. So this time rather than abandon the mission and I just restarted the game and they were there. Not sure if it would work for anyone else but if you come out the cinematic with a yellow or black world around you it may be worth a shot.
