Franz does not create new NPCs

I apologize in advance for any possible errors in the text, as I do not know English well, so I had to use a translator. The essence of the problem is as follows. Frantz does not create new NPCs by giving out only text. When asked why, he replies that it's because of the update, so the question is whether it's true because of the update or not, and if so, is it possible to return everything to how it was, and if not, how to fix it.

thank you in advance
