It was a bug. I can confirm. Even after a clean redo and deleting all local files, then redownloading the game anew. It was a bug. Doesn't matter how many times you check, the scene never happens.That's a rather dangerous question to ask you know?
In my line of work there is this very descriptive saying... "The problem in general sits in front of the screen"
But hey f you are right y.v. will likely find this error and fix it in the next release... or proof you wrong... either way you'll get your answer atleast than.
For the record: As someone that trouble shoots enterprise level IT for a few companies. You are correct in that usually the problem sits in front of the screen. This time, the problem was you.
