Escape the Nautiloid Stuck

[TrickedFaith]

Been playing with friends for around 10 hours, We noticed the main quest will not move and still says escape the nautiloid by connecting the transponders. Does anyone else have this issue? How is it fixed?

Seen some other people post about it but there has been no fix found yet. May have to do with having 5 or more companions during the prologue but nothings confirmed. That's what happened with our group at least

Can you still continue playing the actual game and complete the actual main story or does this just hard lock you out of the content?

i also have this problem. hoping the devs can fix. happened to me in single player, i think because my MC wasn't the one to activate the teleport.

Just double-checking, but... did you "use" the transponder thingy? It's past the mind flayer and the demon fighting each other.

This also happened to our group. We were already 10 hours into the playthrough when someone (finally) accidentally opened up the quest journal and noticed the main quest was still stuck on "escape the nautiloid".

Hopefully our save is not bricked and we can still progress normally through the story. Would be nice if someone could confirm if it's OK to continue or not?

edit: We are a full group of 4 people playing the game btw.

Did anyone manage to fix it ?

This is also a problem for our party

I opened a ticket. They are aware of the issue and are looking to patch it. The only current fix is restarting.

I have seen this too, and worse... The "Find A Cure" quest is completely missing from my journal. The other player I started the game with does not have this issue, and also has the "Find A Cure" quest.

This also happened to me, from my understanding if the host does not finish the cutscene when crashing into the wilderness by skipping it, it will lock the quest as incomplete. Alot of people are having this issue.

Unfortunately I don't think this affects much unless once you get the bug once it corrupts the entire save file. I restarted the tutorial on a bugged save file and tried every potential solution and nothing seemed to be able to fix that file.

We have the same issue with our party, does anyone know if it softlocks the main story ?

Watch the full cutscenes after connecting the transponder right down till you wake on the beach should progress the mission correctly.

This is listed as "fixed" in Patch 3 but it did not retroactively complete the quest for me who has it bugged, so it's still a problem
