Digimon Story Time Stranger: On My Life Main Story Quest Not Starting (Workarounds)

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: try updating vcredist change compatibility settings to windows 8 run on administrator mode verify integrity change resolution to smaller than your current one try reloading your save and try not to skip any…

How to fix it

There is no officially confirmed fix for the issue where the main story quest stops progressing after speaking to Merukimon at the end of the eight years main quest. However, players have reported success using the following workarounds:

  1. Reload your previous save file to try triggering the event again.
  2. Avoid skipping any dialogue during the sequence; you can set the game to auto-advance the dialogue in the settings instead of skipping.
  3. Update your Visual C++ Redistributable (vcredist) files.
  4. Verify the integrity of your game files through your platform launcher.
  5. Change your display resolution to a setting smaller than your current one.
  6. Run the game in administrator mode.
  7. Change the game's compatibility settings to Windows 8.

If it still doesn't work

  • Try combining multiple steps from the list above, as it is unclear which specific action resolves the progression block.
  • Continue checking for future official updates or patches from the developers to address the quest trigger issue permanently.
