Lost In Transmission bug.

[DanyDaBaptist]

During the mission Lost In Trasmission with Torin I’m at the part where he says “to sit down and talk onboard the Stardock after returning from the nova star yard but instead of progressing the quest he just keeps repeating “we’re not far off now let’s just keep moving”.

Are you on PC? Would you mind posting a save file and your plugins.txt if so?

You may have to zip up the save to allow the file type to upload here. Or if it won't let you, can upload to Google drive or similar free service and link here.

No this happened on Xbox

Hi there - are you currently actually back on Stardock with him, or still on the ship? Could you please share your load order?

 

[DanyDaBaptist]

I’m back at Stardock

For large load orders, it is not possible to isolate a conflict without your assistance in narrowing it down further. We have a guide on how to identify mod conflicts here.

Hello, I just had to register here so I could post something on here as well. I am also having this same issue but however I have noticed the dialogue with Torin seems broken on my end. I've tried reloading an earlier save of Lost in Transmission and I am unable to open any dialogue with him. Also one of the Spacers of who is suppose to talk too you right when you get too the one ship for Torin to use the computer, that Spacer never engaged in dialogue with me so I ended up having to pick pocked him to get the key.
While in his apartment in the stardock, I have tried using console on him to disable and enable him, recycled him as well and those didn't do anything. So as of right now I am not able to progress any further through Torin. Unless I am missing something?
Thanks

Hi there, do you have a save and a modlist that you can share with us please? Ideally, a save before you ran those console commands. If you have any from before Lost in Transmission triggered, and perhaps another where the scene in the apartment is broken, that would be great.

How long has Torin's dialogue been broken, and in what way? Is the repeating line the players here have mentioned, or something else?

Regarding the Spacer boss at the end of the dungeon, they are supposed to force greet you, so something is definitely odd there. You can kill them to obtain the codes as well, but there should have been a conversation.

Please upload your save file to this link.

Unfortunately it was a quick save I had and that save is gone. As far as how long as Torin's dialogue was broken for, I couldn't say as I didn't really engage conversation with him much, only spoke too him when he was talking too me for missions. But he may of broke before that mission started. I suppose I could go through and load older saves to try to see when he was working.
And now I know its not related too this topic but I just lost one of my fleet ships. It just disappeared. One of the vanilla crew I had on there is also gone. He isn't showing up on my crew list.

We have been unable to reproduce this issue with Lost in Transmission, so unfortunately it's very difficult to investigate. If you would be able to check some of those load order saves, it would be very appreciated, or you can toss them our way.

Regarding the fleet ships, unfortunately they can on occasion 'die' due to an engine bug - more information on the ship and its crew can be found here.

Well I did load an earlier save that I had that was closer too the beginning of it all and I was able to talk too him just fine. But I kinda didn't feel like wanting have to redo everything.
Also I did end up finding that one crew member that I thought that had disappeared and unfortunately when I tried to talk too him, nothing happened. I wasn't able to talk too him, he was unresponsive.
The only thing I can do now is for whenever I decide to start another NG+ and see how everything plays out then.

There is another bug but not related too these. Sometimes when I turn in the data too that gal who works at the bar area "can't remember her name ATM", after she takes it the screen will go black and it stays black. I would have to load my game from an autosave or quicksave to get out of the black screen.. With all the bugs I am experiencing, I feel like I almost should of had my own thread lol.

I can appreciate that is very frustrating, I'm sorry you have experienced issues. Unfortunately with that particular bug, until we can get a save from someone with the issue in progress, there is not much we can do. Presumably it is a mod conflict of some kind, as we have never been able to reproduce this internally as much as we try - but we definitely want to make certain it isn't a Watchtower issue.

Regarding the crew menu, who is it that is unresponsive?

And for Harper's intel turn-in, was this after giving her one piece of intel or multiple? If you gave her a large number for example, there may be a delay while it processes. Anything over 20 seconds is of a concern though, and I will forward this on.

I did notice that when i opened the main door on the nova station the quest step for board the station never completed. The Spacers also didn’t talk to me either they weren’t hostile so I just killed them and took the key to dock.

Well thing is with Harper I generally gave her 1 at a time. Cause it seemed like if I tried to gave her a bunch my screen would remain black, or at other times it would happen just from turning 1 in. I can see if I can get a list of active mods I have for you guys to see if there is any conflict going on.
Ok I got a list of mods from my Vortex that are active, I'll have to figure out how to get the ones from my Creations.

We have a fix internally right now that should resolve the original issue shared here regarding the player apartment scene with Torin being broken. I am hoping it makes it into our first patch, but if not, it will be included in the second.

It does indeed appear to happen if, for some reason, the 'board the station' objective fails to trigger. For those of you who have hit this, and wish to try and continue before this patch fix releases, I think the best bet would be to revert to a save before you first entered this space station for the first time. Dock and board, and if this objective does not complete, enter your ship and re-board to see if it will now complete. Apologies for the inconvenience here, we are aiming to resolve this for affected players as soon as possible.

Update: I can now confirm this will indeed make it into our first patch, so hopefully not too long to wait.

Thank you, hoping it works and we can continue the story line of the DLC.
