Network Structure Plans issue Arma 3 Old man

[ao]

I was playing the Old Man scenario on Arma 3, and have been for a couple of days, right now I am on the part where you have to go get the Network Structure Plans, and bring them back to Miller, so I went and raided a AA site, as part of a different mission involving Miller, and I found the documents sitting on a table at the AA site I was raiding, so I took them, Miller told me, "Good work, bring those documents back to me and do not lose them." So once I finished raiding the AA site, I drove all the way back to Miller, and tried giving him the documents, but it wouldn't give any kind of popup to give them to him, I confirmed that they were indeed in my inventory, I tried everything, putting them in my bag, vest, clothing, dropping them in front of Miller, putting them in Miller's bag where you first did the geocache thingy when you met Miller in person. I have tried everything and nothing seems to complete the mission, I looked it up online and apparently everyone has been having this issue since a total year ago. This is disappointing, but I am still looking for a solution, does anyone know how to solve this? Or a mod or anything that fixes this bug, or do I have to restart my entire play through? If I could get a answer or some form of a solution, that would be much appreciated! If this bug still hasn't been patched, then that just sucks, considering this DLC Scenario is a year old, and they still haven't even updated it or tried fixing it, there is so many bugs in the scenario it is insane, but if someone has a solution, or you have a solution or whatever, please tell me what it is, because I don't want to dump the hours I have spent playing this scenario due to a stupid bug, thank you!

Same problem, no solution. Tried It again yesterday even.

Yeah, apparently this is just a complete hard-lock on your game. It just happens by chance and if it does happen, well then ♥♥♥♥ out of luck, you gotta restart your scenario. It sucks because the old man scenario is actually really interesting, and I like most aspects of it, but apparently Bohemia playtesters decided playing 25% of the scenario was more than enough.

Buggy as Arma has always been since 2001... no surprise there. Looks like this is only one of a number of major bugs in this scenario, I'd avoid it from now on, as I'll do

Btw, I read somewhere that you could kill Miller and access his laptop to resolve this issue? For me the laptop also doesn't do anything (it actually kills me if I go prone near it), but maybe it'll work for you

It has been awhile and I am on a new computer, so I would have to play up until that point. I honestly don't care that much as I have substituted the gamemode for something like Antistasi, it's just the general concept of the scenario that I enjoyed so much, but, beggars can't be choosers. Thank you for the advice though.

Hey have just encountered this bug and can confirm that if you kill Keystone then yes you can access a prompt when staring at his laptop that says "Explore", this allows you to continue on the scenario albeit without being able to do Keystones ending I imagine. It is strange you died might have gotten too close but there are a few deadly props in this scenario.

Again as stated above it does indeed work, kill keystone then you can "explore" his laptop to be able to keep playing but again it will lock you out of an ending.

Thanks! I was about to give another shot, but then when I tried to load my save I learned a patch had made it unusuable... so i'd have to start from scratch to try it out again. Care to say what part of the laptop were you specifically staring at, and from what position and distance? Oh, the pain this game makes me go through...
