  • Experiencing issues with Virginia in Sons of the Forest? I'll show you how to fix the 'Lost, Missing, Disappeared, or Not Following' bugs and retrieve Virginia to continue your adventure in Sons of the Forest. In this Sons of the Forest video, I'll show you how to get a bugged-out Virginia to come back if she's missing or she's not following you. Subscribe czcams.com/users/Subscribe?sub... Drop a like if this helped you out 👍
    You can get Virginia to come back by editing the game files.
    Locate the Sons of the Forest save file. Your saved file default location is "User\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves
    IMPORTANT! Make a quick back up of your save game file.
    Locate SaveData.json and open it again using Notepad. Press Ctrl + F to open the find box and copy the line: TypeId\":9
    You'll find Kelvins location marked by XYZ that should look a little something like this Position\":{\"x\":883.3377,\"y\":241.529648,\"z\":690.41394},\"Rotation\":{\"x\":0.0,\"y\":-0.9851878,\"z\":0.0,\"w\":0.171478808}
    Take the text between the brackets { } and paste this into the location for Virginia found by TypeId\":10
    Now save and exit, load the save game and you'll see Virginia standing by Kelvin & if she is your companion she should now be following you.
    Sons of the Forest is a survival horror video game developed by Endnight Games and published by Newnight. Sent to find a missing billionaire on a remote island, you find yourself in a cannibal-infested hellscape. Craft, build, and struggle to survive, alone or with friends, in this terrifying new open-world survival horror simulator.

    If you saw at the beginning of the video, she played an animation where she was motioning for you to follow her. She ran to a nearby point of interest to show it to you. It seems like if you don't follow her she will kind of just stay there until you show up, and I've had it happen on my playthrough. A lot of the people posting about her "going missing" actually just missed the "follow me" animation and didn't know she ran somewhere.

      @@Subscribe Yeah I live on the lake with the island in the middle and every few days she runs to point out the boat on the waterfall or the helicopter across the water and often times when she does this she removes her own GPS Locator and sometimes doesn't walk back on her own.

    Weird. Nothing happens at all. I see her on map and can go to her, but editing of file do not change anything. We have somewhat different situation - we changed the host of server by sharing of save file. But Virginia became follower, if I remember right, with the new host. We managed to get her back once, when we were returning from cave. But soon she came back to the same area. She had tracker and both guns with dress.

    Where you said it might disappear in the notepad, if you change from Down to Up it will show the correct location.
    Was having an hissyfit trying to figure out why TF it's not showing up, so i started trying random sh*t and change from Down to Up took me to the Correct location, cause if you click "find text" twice, it will tell you that there is no such text, eventhough it was clearly marked in the notepad.

    She followed me over the entire map, Gold armor stuff. Then stopped someplace faaar away!
    I did run to her once, walked slowly to get her with me, but I died and got tied up by cannibals.
    And she ran back over to the same spot for some reason???? :s
    Anyway! Cheers for the help, if she goes back. Ima just wait until Dev's fix her.
