Issue with Last Watch - Find Heimdall Station's Mainframe

[Oskar1up]

Hello!

First of all, congratulations for Watchtower. It's the content I've enjoyed the most in a long time!
I have a problem. Before I reach the Mainframe at Heimdall Station in the Last Watch mission, the last door simply won't open. There's no terminal to interact with in any of the rooms. I've searched every inch of the room and can't find anything.

Any ideas? I've tried the classics (reload, return to a previous point, etc.)
Pc Steam version, very old save.

Thanks!

The Warden you kill should have a cyber amp on him. Loot it, equip it, and approach the door. Normally Torin would advise you do so so after a minute of you not figuring it out.

If he hasn't, it's a good chance you ran into a script lag bug. We found this would happen when using God mode or infinite ammo with Cheat Terminal, hut likely other script heavy mods could cause a similar problem.

If you are not using cheat terminal, and could post your load order, and even upload your save file somewhere like Google drive and a link to download it, would help us investigate potential other conflicts.

Hello!

Indeed, I had the Cyberamp in my inventory. I equipped it and it worked. Torin didn't mention anything to me about it. I've never used the terminal, so I'm attaching the save file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RUqjyfu_RwS7Udq4EDBuCJuq8swF-NwW/view?usp=sharing

And here is the load order (i have very fer mods right now)

Thanks again for the awesome work!

Hi again, here goes another one.
I cant take the pod because the game detects that im in combat.
I apologize if im missing something

That should go away after a minute. Likely you took damage from one of the explosions and it flagged you as in combat.

Have you been able to progress? This message occurs if there are any Watchtower NPCs still hanging around the second half of the station (where you currently are). Eliminating them should allow you to use the drop pod.

I can now confirm we have a fix for this issue coming in the first update patch.

Hello!

For some reason, despite having completely cleaned that section (and thoroughly checked it), I still can't get to the escape pod. I've tried a multitude of things but can't get past that point.

Any advice is welcome.
Greetings!

Hi there, I just loaded the save you shared with us. One thing I notice here is that whenn standing you are in combat, but when sneaking you are not. Could you please try something for me? If you sneak, and activate the drop pod chair while sneaking, does this work?

Edit: unfortunately no, this does not work. We will continue to look into this. Since you are on PC, if you are wanting to continue the story, running KAH in the console will allow you to continue. However for now, we will continue to investigate.

I have the same problem. I've killed the warden several times but there's no Cyberamp to be found. I can't open the door.

If the Cyberamp is not spawning on him, likely you have some massive script lag. By any chance are you using Cheat Terminal? We found that mod has been causing very strange bugs for folks.

I didn't use Cheat Terminal. I fixed it by updating the mod and reloading an older save. This time the Cyberamp did spawn. I noticed a lot of lag in my previous session possibly because it was a very long playsession? Anyway, it's resolved. Thanks for replying.

Hi there, your combat issue should be resolved with the latest patch update. Have you been able to proceed?

I had the same issue, I can not use the escape pod (not even when Im in stealth mode) and the update fixed the issue. However, the update was not downloaded first, and for second try I got error message that "lacking permission to write folder". The solution, I had to exit Starfield, start again NOT loading any save, go to the creation and update. It is worked well, and after the update I loaded my save. Still can not use the ecape pod in normal mode (still im in combat), but I entered stealth mode and it is worked. Maybe this info help somebody in the future.

Just to explain to anyone else who may still run into this issue - there is a failsafe introduced in our first patch that should clear your combat status, on the drop pod. You may need to click activate on it more than once.
