Talking about a Revolution - Relic malfunction when starting this quest causes death!

[skpManiac]

Hi guys, I am trying to do the Talking about a Revolution with Judith, but each time I start the quest, no matter if I ask Johnny if he's ok, or If I accept the payment or not, as soon as I say I'm in, I get a relic malfunction and I die, so have to start at the last checkpoint, it's infuriating, as I've been trying for 6 hours tonight just to get the quest to start, answering everything differently each time.

Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, did you fix it?
Thanks.

BTW, I stopped playing for almost 2 years because my original 100+hour save got screwed on one of the early updates and I could not progress, so I recently started afresh, so hitting another issue like this is really frustrating, especially if it means I can't finish the game properly.

That does sound frustrating. I didn't know you lost health when that happens?

If it is like that, could it be an idea to wait until you're higher level and have higher health before doing this, or something? Or take some health boosting consumables?

I've no idea, though. I did this very late at lvl 60, and things went well.

Good luck!

Hi Bjorn, and thanks for the suggestions.
I have built my levels up and I am also at Level 60 with all attributes maxed, and 35 Headhunter, 45 Net Runner, 34 Shinobi, 27 Solo and 37 Engineer, so not low down those specs at all :(
My other attributes on the main menu are:
Edge Runner 90%
American Blues 60%
Running on Fumes 56%
My Street Cred is 50

I honestly have no idea how these affect missions, but it would be a shocking flaw in the game design if we cannot finish the game because something is too low or too high, especially as there is no advice in the game regarding this :(

I'm hoping the devs will interject!

Have a great day mate, all the best, from England :)

It sounds like a nasty bug, indeed.

I tried a google yesterday of your title ("Talking about a Revolution - Relic malfunction when starting this quest causes death"), and I found a lot of comments on reddit and elsewhere about a common bug, that causes the malfunction effect (the blurry vision and such) to not go away when it should, so it lasted 'forever'. No mention of it causing death, though.

Should try to contact official support about this. Such a big company probably has a professional support department, and I would guess this is interesting to them.

I am going to try it again after doing some other missions, luckily my game save is right outside the apartment, so I can go elsewhere and do some other missions, I might finish the DLC first, then go back to this one ;)
