[PC] Need help , can't find the next Vance mission marker + weird saved file bug

[chaostools]

Hello , this is my save file https://gtasnp.com/p0IIqN . It got somehow corrupted with NPC riot cheat and i can't get it to stop. Also I am not able to see the next Cap the collector start marker, even though i am standing in front of the  point on map which says 'v' . I think its some file issue which happenned when i once saved some random person's file from snp portal. can someone fix this?

I don't know a way to edit the save but looking at the wiki to start the mission right after you need to also have least five completed profitable places (and Hit the Courier mission with cop land which you don't have)

You haven't done Print Works missions to have unlocked  Cap the Collector. As far as I understand your save file should not be corrupted, try purchasing Print Works and 4 more and do those missions (see wiki template on the right).  

The V map icon in front of Vercetti's mansion is always there even when there are no missions.

 

I loaded your save to my game and it works fine I didn't notice any issue but I haven't started the other missions yet.

Hey, how  about now? https://gtasnp.com/F64QnL I finished all the printworks ,malibu asset  and phil missions, aquired all the profitable assets and also some safehouses yet i can't see the main story mission (Cap the collector) . what should i do next? I don't reallly want to do those skull and blue icon mission if they are not part of main story. Also I somehow fixed the NPC riot by downloading another snp file with similar missions and now am happily playing again lol

Sorry I didn't write it correctly, you have to buy 5-6 assets and complete all their missions too, not just buy the asset. (Five completed assets), you have completed only three. Ignore the gang/payphone missions. (sunshine autos takes hours so ignore that too)

Hey @44Orca thanks for the hint. I somehw finished the kauffman, pole position, cherry popper, printworks and malibu island missions, and while i was getting bored trying to finish that interglobe studio  helicopter mission, i got the call! it started the cap the collected, fairly easy mission via explode all vehicles cheat and then the final mission was here. got that down with ease and i have officially finished the game (@ 40% lol) !!! 

Thanks for the support . here's my final file : https://gtasnp.com/9YNdZF
