Atmospheric processing mission is 100% bugged. (spoilers within.)

[RobOda]

Nearly all mission objectives are 'undefined' in the location status, even when the locations are identified; and all survivor objectives are doubled by mistake.

If you rescue a survivor, it triggers the 'killed' objectives and vice versa, which I imagine, is why in other topics people have had the mission summary show everyone alive and dead at the same time.

This means your ship gets sabotaged regardless because paradoxically, you've rescued everyone even if you've killed them all.

Basically, the mission trigger status is trigger both kill/rescue parameters as active, instead of one as intended.

So, that mission is FUBAR at the moment.

Damn, I think you are right. That sabotage event after the mission didn't make any sense after rescuing the right people. And it only happens after you rescue or execute them.

I have noticed this as well. I redid that mission a couple times after seeing the sabotage event occur because I thought I messed up in the investigation. Turns out I hadn't, and the game just decided that all outcomes happened at once. So I got none of the benefits from the rescues, and all of the detriments from saving the wrong person.

There are so many game-breaking issues at this point that I find myself wondering why it's not tagged as Early Access. At least then they'd have that excuse to lean on.

Can confirm. When rescuing the last survivor, the game turned them into Schrödinger's survivors. Both executed and rescued at the same time.

I only noticed it because when I 'saved' Robert, it popped up "It had to be done - Robert executed" which obviously, threw me for six.

I'm hoping they hotfix this because I want to do this mission as intended.

I'm holding off from playing the game any further at the moment, which is a shame because I'm enjoying it, just because I'm on this mission and the side objective is actually really interesting/cool, but not if it's completely broken.

I hope they prioritise fixing this ASAP.

[RobOda]

Yeah, I'm sat waiting for a hotfix, but I don't think the devs have acknowledged this or any other topic bringing it up.

There's also a game breaking bug in the later missions after this, so they might be prioritising that instead ~ and I do mean gamebreaking, as in it won't even let you progress an objective.

I take it the mission is collect the bio samples could not finish that one.

It is the 'xxxx of deception' mission (xxx = spoilers) later on, there's a final objective to meet someone, and you can do it etc then you extract and finish everything.

Well, that final objective sometimes doesn't count as completed, even if you do it properly. So, if you revisit you can't do that objective ever again because it's a cutscene objective, so you end up on the ship with 16/17 primary objectives complete and cannot progress the game at all because it will never recognise the objective as completed.

There's a few topics about it on steam and reddit, but not everyone is affected by it. I'd think that would be their priority to fix first.

Out of curiosity, to the people experiencing these bugs, the survivors and the game breaking one, are you all playing the game on PC?

Yeah PC.

I encountered this too, with both "you killed X" and "you saved X" popping up, but I only gained 2 engineers and no marines from the mission so I think the rewards from it work at least?

The sabotage may actually be related to someone else aboard the Otago, not anyone in the Atmospheric processor, though it could also be a bug

Yeah could be.

I gave up waiting for them to patch it, so I pushed through the mission today. Nearly every objective in that mission is bugged.

I was getting "You killed x" "you saved x" "exposed x" and objectives triggering when you reached places but didn't trigger them.

I think one objective popped up three times on my screen before it finally stopped. It's just weird.

I'm playing on Xbox SX and its an absolute ♥♥♥♥ show. Loved this game at first but the constant mission breaking bugs and glitches have totally ruined it for me. It gets worse the more you play.

[alex010300]

Yup, only 1 survivor is a cultist so if he is dead the ship sabotage event should not be triggered.

[Rezzx]

Can confirm bug is still present. Recovered all data pads and saved what turned out to be the correct people. Sabotage event still triggered.
