Schedule 1: New Customers Not Showing on Map Fix
If your potential customers in Schedule 1 are not showing up on the map, you are not alone. This is a known bug introduced in recent patches and has been frustrating players who need new clients to grow their business and lower cartel influence.
How to Fix Potential Customers Not Appearing
New customers often vanish from the map after patch 3.6. The fix is to manually track one down and unlock them. Once you secure one new client, the rest of the missing customers usually reveal themselves again.
You can find routes and spawn spots for each area by checking community maps or wikis, since each customer follows a predictable walking path. After you recruit one, progression continues normally.
Workarounds and Tricks
Some players report that giving a sample to a potential customer can cause a glitch where the map removes them, even if they did not accept. If this happens, the only way forward is to locate them manually and try again.
You can also open your in-game phone and check the Contacts app. Each region has a progression tree showing who unlocks next. This helps you confirm which customer must be recruited before the others appear.
Another workaround is to immediately recruit new customers as soon as they appear. If you save and reload without recruiting them, they may disappear.
Why This Happens
The issue seems tied to saving and loading after patch 3.6. Customers are still present in the world, but the game fails to display them on the map. Because of this, the best fix is to hunt down at least one customer in person to reset the chain.
This problem is most common in Suburbia and Uptown, but it can affect any region if customers are skipped or bugged out during the unlock process.
Final Blurb
If new customers are not showing on the map in Schedule 1, don’t restart your save. Track down one missing client, recruit them, and the others should reappear. Until the developers patch this bug, manual scouting is the most reliable fix.
