The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (Xbox Series X) Friendship's Due quest bug

[Jack Rowell]

I'm playing The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition on Xbox Series X and I've run into a bug with Felix's companion quest, Friendship's Due. When I start the quest, having talked to Felix, the character Rufus Trask dies before I can even meet him. This means that when I go to talk to Clyde Harlow, the Questacts as if I chose to kill Trask. I tried visiting North Gulch both before and after speaking to Harlow for the first time,, avoiding even visiting his landing pad, and he was still dead. I tried going to the site before even attaining the quest and clearing out the canids there just in case they were killing him, but that did not work either. This is a pretty significant issue and should be worked on, especially because I never experienced the issue in the first release of Outer Worlds.
