[Resolved] Yes, I have the scanner.

All my Delamain quests are bugged this play-through. On 3rd play-through right now, and the first and second play-throughs I did all 7 of the jobs Delamain gave me, no problem, no hitches, all worked.

Now all 7 are bugged, just tried them all.

Delamain will either call and hang up A) *before* he tells me about the coordinates of the missing car [in the area] so I can not do the job at all OR B) if he did give me the coordinates and I track down the car and complete the job he calls but then immediately *hangs up*, thus not completing the job. All 7 of these jobs do one the variants (A or B) above.

So what's up with this? Again I did all 7 of these jobs previously in two seperate play-throughs but now all do not work.

Did I craft too much or something?

[McCloud]

Can't even call main mission characters that I MUST call to progress the story.

So is this entire play-through trash now?

I already went back to my oldest save, lost 8 levels doing so. Just start over?

[McCloud]

Is this new to 1.06?

[JustATextBox]

Sometimes it bugs. Same for a lot of quests / player states within the game. The solution usually being that you need to roll back to an older save and hope it goes differently next time

Happened to me with the Delamain quest too and this was pre 1.06. Had to load back ~20 mins and do it over again until his call worked correctly

[McCloud]

Well I can't go back farther (about 10 hours back on an autosave, about 8 levels back-ago), so I guess I'll just hang up the game. Thanks.

I think--I am not 100% sure about this--but I think, particularly this quest, and maybe other quests, bug out when you use the Skip Scene feature. Like how you fast-forward through entire blocks of dialogue and stuff.

At any rate, whatever causes the bug, there is no way to fix it except to start from an earlier save before you first arrive at Delamain's HQ.

For me, what I did was I started Act 2, got all my stuff together in the apartment. I went out the front door from the apartment--not the one that leads into the garage. I got into my car, Delamain crashed my ♥♥♥♥, and I left. I did not purchase the Galeno. I immediately went to do the Afrendo to get the bike--you will need it to complete Delamain's quests. I went straight to Delamain HQ, I did not skip through the cutscene, and then I did each and every quest exactly as it was given to me. I did not change quest objectives at all. The whole thing was automated as you do them.

Takes about an hour to do them all. My advice is to go back to before you first went to Delamain HQ, don't skip the cutscenes. Don't break the sequence. Just follow the droid and listen to the dialogue, get the scanner, and when Del tells you to leave--leave. Then immediately do the quests in order as they are given to you.

[McCloud]

Aye, don't slip any cutscenes so it can't be that. I am trying some last desperation attempts right now. If it don't work I'll just try back on their Jan/Feb updates. Thank you also.

[McCloud]

Yeah every last save is corrupt now. That'll teach me to not ever use the manual save and only the quicksave feature (plus autosave). What was I thinking?!?!

[Buzzerker]

I fk'n hate that Delamain quest, it's like being harassed through the entire game when you enter a given area. You can be doing ANOTHER QUEST and that fk'n Delamain ♥♥♥♥♥♥ or one of his AI cabbies will call you on the phone and just start talking.

Quite honestly I think that's what initiated the bug. I was headed for the Delamain quest BUT got the Cyberphysco one and just did that really fast.... and now I just have to throw the whole damn game away.

The only other solution I can think of is if there's any quests available that force you into a call. Maybe if you could get into one it would reset your bugged phone. Not sure tho, just a possibility.

[McCloud]

Only thing I can think of is my first TWO PLAY THROUGHS that BOTH WORKED FLAWLESSLY were both female, this 3rd play through that does not work is as a male. Maybe it can't find some voice file and kills the whole thing.

This quest line worked perfectly for me. But there were others with bugs. All I can suggest is to go back to the start of the quest and try again. This works for me so far.
Good luck.

Thanks, but I am truly done until Jan/Feb updates. I just can't do the bugs any longer.

Oooook then!

At this point I'll just make that the Answer for the thread. lol

[McCloud]

Just one last bit of advice for those that just want to get rid of the jobs for good (AKA Fail the job): if you find a Delamain cabby you can shot out the window and throw gernades INSIDE it and blow it up. You'll FAIL all 7 jobs but at least they're gone.

3rd time is not a charm!

Edit: doesn't fix the Phone Bug problem though so keep that in mind. You're probably better off going into the Save Folder deleting them all and coming back next year.

F this game!
