Is Gig: Hacking the Hacker permanently borked?

[Jakobb]

Cannot find another person saying this, so I ask: I have killed the 6th Street guy, gotten to his computer, and ... nothing ... it does the "connecting your wire" animation ... and then nothing ... it doesn't upload the malware ... doesn't give me a reason why it cannot, and I am stuck like a statue in the game, unable to move, barely able to look ...

Is this mission bugged? If so, wouldn't all those wondrous patches CDPR have been papering the world with have solved such an obvious one by now?

Help.

No one has this issue??
(Has anyone even completed it?)

I've completed it 3 times in 3 playthroughs without any issue, have you tried to verify the files of your game?

I had this same issue. The problem was caused by sneaking into the megabuilding rather than going through the front door. I climbed up the outside and into a gap near the bottom of the elevator, bypassing the entrance, which meant I didn't trigger the mission to proceed. It was stuck with the objective "enter the megabuilding" even after riding the elevator up.

The solution was to go back down the elevator, go out the entrance, then back in the entrance, and back up the elevator. The mission objective then updated to correctly show the uploading the virus and optional kill the guy objectives.

Yes, this is what got me through it, too. And I started by going through the front-door, but somehow it glitched out and provided I went out and back up again, it worked fine.

as long as you can teleport away (such as with amm or simplemenu or command), you can force the quest to end with the following command



JM = Game.GetJournalManager() TrEn = JM:GetTrackedEntry() QueEn = JM:GetParentEntry(JM:GetParentEntry(TrEn)) QueEnHash = JM:GetEntryHash(QueEn) JM:ChangeEntryStateByHash(QueEnHash, "Succeeded", "Notify")


command n paste as one line

I'm a few years late but I came here searching for a fix, this bug is still in the game.
Update, the fix is correct, I went back down the elevator, killed some attackers, went back up, quest updated
