Cannot speak to Johan in hideout, and get no notifactions at all about kingsmarch stuff

Hi!

I have had this issue since day 1 of the league. Johan will not talk to me in my hideout (though others can talk to him in my hideout) and I get ZERO notifications at all about kingsmarch stuff like gold running out, atlas runners being captured/killed, ships arriving etc. Apparently others had this problem last league as well, though I did not...

I saw a thread with a workaround that involves making a SSF character and levelling it all through the game until you talk to Johan, then migrate it or something - needless to say im not gonna be doing that LOL

Any chance this will get fixed? interacting with kingsmarch feels terrible without Johan and his notifications :o

EDIT: solved, mysteriously today
