This is my first time playing this game, i was just about to leave Riverville with Jespar and when he started following me it says in the middle of the screen: "Jespar now follows you". Then it disappears and flashes back again. in a constant loop disappearing and coming back, stays for about 3 seconds disappears for about 0.1 seconds.
No mods, fresh install. Played 3 hours yesterday then today there was an update and this happened. I loaded an earlier save and the message was just stuck on the screen, while the quest objective is to go talk to Jespar. I then loaded a brand new game and the message was STILL on the screen.
I hope I don't have to re-install the game but am afraid if I do it'll happen again. I just don't want to see Ark for the first time with this message flashing in the center of my screen.
If there is any additional information you I am glad to help.
