I want to clarify, did you start the game in this version or in the previous one? If in the previous one, then the errors from that version remained in the saves. If in this version, then it is strange on fresh saves that there were no problems from this version. At least with the sixth hunt for sure.
If you have saves from the previous version, you will have to start over. I have to do this every time because of some fatal bugs, so I'm already used to it.
There is another option to force hunts to start, but this is not an option to be honest. Only more bugs will be generated in the future.
If you decide to start from the beginning, then don't forget to upload the fix for the first chapter from here
