Bug Report **(Spoiler Warning)**
On the mission where I have to extract the veterinarian from the queen hive, I got back to the elevator, mis-clicked, dropping the incapacitated person on the elevator floor, menu forced me to go up, without the veterinarian. Tried going back down to get the body, and it was no longer there. Tried reloading previous checkpoint saves and I'm stuck with the "bugged"save... 94% done with the Dead Hills zone and now I have to restart cause I can't reload a manual save as there was no option for manual saving... :/

I'm having issues during that section as well but for me the quest tracker will not update at all. I grab the vet and extract but it still says I need to look for colonists in the mine. I'm essentially soft locked. Legit cannot progress the game because it still thinks I have to find colonists.

I've had to completely restart, which sucks, cause that's 4 hours of lost progress. They need to allow manual saves and not force auto-saves and odd checkpoints, like entrance/exit of an elevator instance.

Same issue for me, and I've had other bugs that affect progress, so it's starting to get tiresome

Power to you if you're willing to restart. That's 4 hours I won't get back. I already asked for a refund. It probably will be a good game but I'm not willing to throw away time like that just to find out.

I also have this issue, so I guess I have to restart the game.....

hey!! so the game autosaves, if you go back to the most recent one from when you pick up the vet and escort them you can redo it and unbug it. the issue i had was the vet died, so i got stuck like all of you and i was in limbo, unable to progress. Did a little trial and error, found the save point from when i killed the queen, and was unable to fix it. Hope this helps.

as for yours you could at least redo the Queen fight too! so you dont lose too much if you load the most recent save back in. Sucks theres a bug but aside from this one they havent fixed yet, have to say game is great

Just had this exact bug as well. A crusher knocked the vet out of the arms of the marine that was carrying her when I was heading towards the lift. The body disappeared and the tac map told me she was now at the APC. Got to the APC, no body. Extracted and was told I needed to go back. Went back and was told the vet was in the APC and I could extract. Now I'm stuck in a loop.

This doesn't help me at all. All of my saves have this bug in it. The gave saves upon entry/exit of elevators and missions. I tried reloading a previous save, and they all had that bug in it.

I have completed the mission OK but I have also encountered a bug related to carrying a person. Twice actually.
In both times after I put the body down (or place it in a car) it still acted like the marine was carrying (unable to attack or perform other abilities). Once it also caused my squad to be wiped out.
Is there a place I can report this bug? So they can fix this issue?

Any solution for this as I have the same bug...they have actually released a game with no manual save with campaign killing bugs, lit the worst possible gaming scenario in the history of video gaming

This is exactly what happened to me as well
