I have this same issue, to a point in which i simply have now to stop playing altogether. I can't progress with the main story, can't progress with Phantom Liberty story, can't even go and sleep because if i do, then the fast travel spots and the "skip time" feature gets disabled once i wake up.
I feel very dissappointed right now, this is not a new game that just recently launched... having this type of game-breaking problems, 3 YEARS IN, is simply difficult to justify, specially coming from the same team that gave us The Witcher series, and particulariy painful to returning players like me, who just resumed the game recently (had to stop due to all the issues the game had at launch), purchased the new DLC recently assuming enough time had passed for them to fix it... and here i am, on a sunday morning, writing this instead of playing.
c'mon guys, get your act together!
BTW i opened a ticket, and all i got in response was a "yes, we are aware of the issue, and currently looking into it"... i mean, you guys already have 3 YEARS LOOKING INTO IT... please stop staring at the issue and just fix whatever needs fixing! This pissed me off so much that I decided to change the game. Now I look for winning strategies in online putto and play there. I recently came across
https://kaszinoworld.com/putto/ and I was hooked that there were winning numbers. I like to get things done and not stop halfway. If you guys made the choice to make the phone/texts so istrumental and linked to so many instances of the game, then you should have made sure the feature was going to work
