A Long Overdue Visit elevator crash

[breadeaterheh]

Hey, could any1 help, please? I can't complete A Long Overdue Visit quest. When I enter the elevator to reach Dalin's Suite" and run it I get game crash as the objective "Get Some Sleep at Dalin's Suite" appears on the screen. Any solutions?

I'm having the exact same issue and I'm troubleshooting it.
From what I can tell it's caused by the Emission, if looking at Emissions crashes your game, it will do so in this mission as it's scripted for one to appear when the elevator doors open.

Using a mod that adds a console I teleported out of the facility and spawned an emission at a random location. Once it started my game would crash.
I used the same mod to walk through the suite before triggering the elevator and I was allowed to interact with everything but not sleep. I submitted this as a bug report on the website and I'll see if there's any way to fix this, as it affects all Emissions.

Oh. So, we are stuck on this mission until the fix is done? Did you try a mode that removes emissions from the game? I'm, sure there must be one, gotta find it.

[breadeaterheh]

Alright, mod for no emission doesn't help at all. I tried to realize how console commands work and skip the quest step or either end the quest, but no commands work for me, only starting the next quest works but the game becomes glitchy. I'm quitting this ♥♥♥♥.

I found out the reason why Emissions break.
If you go into a tunnel or some bunker/underground area, PAST the mission marker to "hide from the Emission" and delve deeper in, the Emission despawns before it renders, thus every time after the Emission will cause a driver crash because it couldn't render properly.

The fix for this issue was rolling back to a save prior to an emission, forcing it to spawn, and if it didn't crash it was clear.

I remembered I went into a tunnel near Rostok as an Emission started and I never got the "Hide from Emission" objective, so be wary of that.

Noting here for anyone who stumbles upon this issue. Current fix is just load a save that isn't borked, or wait for the devs to fix this.

Interesting. I will check this, thank you.

Okay, I can cofirm that you are right, rolling back to a save prior to an emission works.

Currently having this issue as well and my save might be too far gone to be able to roll back and fix. I was able to bypass the scripted one in Ad Astra Per Aspera for somehow, but this one has truly given me a roadblock.

works in most cases but I am stuck on the elevator for now, in the swamp mission I just ran with the chimera on my ass and ignored it all, cause otherwise the mod would push my emission faster and I'd die to emission dmg

I have the same problem. Game crashes while riding the elevator. Has anyone found a solution yet?

[littleDead]

Same here

Still the same issue after the patch. I guess I will explore regions freely and I will come to the quest once they fix it.

A mod has been published that fixed the elevator crash during the mission. It seems the issue happens to people who found the Weird Bolt artifact previously, regardless if you sold or dropped it afterwards. The mod removes the artifact from the game, allowing you to progress the story mission.

Damn it! I just deleted all my saves and started a new game, and the emissions stopped breaking without that weird bolt. If only I had seen this mod a bit earlier...
Does anyone know if it's possible to restore saves if you clicked 'Delete Save' in the game? Maybe Steam Cloud can help me?

Same here :( the patch doesn't help :(
I recorded the mods, maybe I'll start the game again
