Mission - Crash and Burn Part II- Major bug

[WarMachinePT]

When i arrive to the Vespa mining location. Youhave to destroy turrets and apply the malware on the docking ships and for that you need to "destroy" the shields to apply the malware, the thing is when you destroy the shields the prompt to applay the malware doenst show up by any means.

I'm having the same problem. Were you able to get around that?

Stuck on Crash and Burn

I have done this mission over and over. I can upload the virus to one ship and no other ships after that. I have gone back to saves from three systems back and still get this issue. It doesnt matter which ship i use it on first. I thought it was a delay on the virus but even playing for 10 minutes i still cant upload to another ship. So I am now stuck and cant advance the story anymore.

I can upload it to one ship and that is all.

Same here.
I can only upload it to one ship and no matter how long i waited the second ship's interaction did not show at all.
Beside, Ghost would attack the big drill machine despite that thing doesn't even have a health bar.
My auto-fire rocket (20% chance when scored a critical hit) would auto-lock to the first uploaded ship, even though it was down on the ground and does not have a health bar.

Got exactly the same Problem. Reloading doesnt fix the Problem

Hello everyone, thank you for the reports. Unfortunately I was unable to replicate the issue on my end.
In order to further diagnose the issue, I'd be great if you could send us a savegame (ideally a manual save from just before entering Vesna Mining colony for the mission). You can access your savegames from "%localappdata%\ES2\Saved\SaveGames". Grab both files making up the manual save: MyManualSave.sav and MyManualSave_PREVIEW.sav. Send them to "support @ rockfishgames.com".
Thank you for your patience!

Hi guys, i repair the files and tried again and everything worked fine... no idea what happened.. seems random

Make sure that you target the ship (middle mouse button). Then it should work to upload the virus.

[PheonixKnight]

It doesnt work on more than one ship no matter what I do.

[Hortus Nanum]

For me it helped targeting the ships manually. Maybe you'll find a hint in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1128920/discussions/0/3826414483630700280/

But maybe this is indeed a bug. Looks like the target lock is not released after the first ship is disabled by the malware. Might be a bug in the mission script.

Unfortunately I don't have a savegame right before the mission, but I did have the same issue here:

I managed to disable the first ship, wiped all gun towers and enemies and then fired on the remaining ships to disable the shields. No "Press F" option to upload the malware was shown.
In the meantime Ghost circled around and was firing at a mining laser like a lunatic.

After starting the mission all over for 4 times, I realized that the auto targeting did work for the first mining ship only. Targeting the others manually (middle mouse button) and shooting down the shield with a Blaster worked for me then. The malware could be installed after the cooldown timer like described above.

I assume that the target lock is not released after the first ship is disabled by the malware. Might be a bug in the mission script?

One time I fired a missile and it flew in the direction of the first disabled ship, so it seems it was still targeted while already beeing disabled?

Hope this can help to replicate the issue on your end.

Hello Hortus, thank you very much for looking into it more. I can now replicate the issue. It appears disabled ships can maintain target lock, despite the target lock UI being hidden.
Until we introduce a fix for this: for anyone else having this problem, manually locking the mining barges will work.

How do we manually lock up the mining barges? I have been using the controller to play the game.

on PC, manual Lock is placed on "klicking mouswheel", so im sure you find the needed Button in Control settings :) Probably right next to PC-controls.

The default binding on gamepad ist pressing down on right thumbstick. On mouse/keyboard it's middle mouse button.
