Cannot fight Coast Guard

Hello Sea Sharks,

I'm playing BNH 15 b2 since some month now, and i'm facing a strange and annoying bug.
I'am trying to unlock Evade Coast Guard perk by doing some smuggling mission and let the guard catch me.
But, at any moment when in smuggling mission the coastguards appears, i cannot kill no one.
Even, if the smugglers won the battle, i cannot loot coastguards bodies to pick their Book of Patrol Schedules.

I cannot unlock the Perk 'Evade Coast Guard' whatever i tried.

Strange thing is, i've started several games and the first one i've been able to fight and kill the coastguards, but after a few hours of playing, that have been stopped, and i never be able again to kill any of them. Even if i started a new game.

Someone can help me ?!

If one of your officers has the "evade coast guard" perk the game has a problem and you cannot attack or kill the soldiers on the beach. They are the ones that have the book and only getting the book and examining it in your inventory will unlock the perk.

Did this officers shouldn't join you when you goes on beach for smuggling or this perk still affect you when this officer is still a board ship ?

I finally make a workaround by desactivate the perk ImproveSmuggling in perks_init.c.

I don't think it made any difference if the officer was in the shore party or not. If any one of them had it, you couldn't fight the soldiers.

So, i should start à new game to proove this point; make a save before recruiting an officer and insure that he having this perk (while a don't have it) and try to do smuggler mission. if i can't you will proove that point... If not ?!

But what i wonder, did this perk avoid the patrol soldiers to come when you doing those missions ?!
 
Yeah, I've got the same issue. Even if I do not bring my officer or not having the officer at all, I still can't fight the Coast Guard, and only my men fight them.
(And yes, even after the Coast Guard got killed, I can't loot them at all.)

One possible workaround is to change officers' jobs. Not all officer types can contribute "Evade Coast Guard". The ones who can are the boatswain, quartermaster and master at arms. So can a pirate captain; you might have one of those if you captured a pirate and then hired him as an officer.

When you're about to go to the beach to meet smugglers, check all officers of these types. If they have "Evade Coast Guard", change them to a different type which can't contribute it, e.g. navigator, gunner or surgeon. (Remember what they were originally. You'll want to change them back when you return from the beach!)

Can you loot any other corpses? There's a setting somewhere in the "Options" menu to change what corpses do. (Even if that's not what is preventing looting of dead coast guard here, it means this way of unlocking "Evade Coast Guard" for yourself won't work if you do change that setting and can't loot corpses at all.)
 
Didn't this turn out to be related somehow to the ANIMATION files?
This bug sounds vaguely familiar.
As if a fix was posted on the Discord eons ago.
Pretty sure I have it installed in the BNH installation on my old laptop, but I haven't a clue if the fix ever made it into any official new version.
Does anyone know if this is still a problem?
