escape from the cage mission

[Nesmoth ☢ The Dude]

-Possible Bug-
After talking with Korshunov and choosing the option "escape" all goes black and appear inside a cell, with the mission "Escape from the cage" but nothing happens. Already tried loading a previous save point, restarting the game and the pc. Any hint what I could do with this? Thanks in advance.

Same bug

Can you tell if Dalin is in the building? I used the noclip code and made a sweep, he isnt there

Anyone found the cause of this bug or a possible fix?

Just want to say I am experiencing the same problem and haven't found a fix. He spawns, but immediately either disappears or falls through the map.

Still waiting for support to respond. Been trying to found out how to teleport Dalin but not luck so far.

I was able to locate Dalin at Malachite. He's standing across from the entrance on the second floor. You need the developer console mod to actually get to him though.

I was able to successfully force the quest to progress by repeatedly using this console command.

Basically you need to do the following:

Teleport Dalin to yourself once to get the initial quest objective to pop. He will start talking but instantly teleport right back to Malachite. Let him finish talking.
Press your face up against the cell bars, and then teleport Dalin to yourself again. You need him to spawn outside the cell to trigger his walking animation. Once again, he instantly teleports back to Malachite after he finishes walking around..
Teleport Dalin to yourself again to start the conversation. He will teleport again, but you'll now be in dialog with him. Finish the dialog.
With your face pressed up against the bars again, teleport him to you one last time, and he will hand you the keys through the bars of your cell, and then he will walk away and teleport off into the sunset.

Thankfully I didnt have the Dalin bug... he was there for me. But all did not go well with the quest either... once I snuck over to get my weapons back.... I was stuck in some weird mode where I couldnt visually equip any of the load that I had just loaded back in. It SAID I had them equippped, but I couldnt use them. Plus a couple of goons (who couldnt see me) had walked in and blocked the exit so I couldnt get out of that area. With no guns/knife available...couldnt kill them or get them to notice me.

Had to ghost through the wall.. the moment I got outside all heck broke loose because I was suddenly visible, and my guns appeared in my hands and started working. Gunned down in a blaze of glory....but after reload eventually escaped.

Not happy with the bugs but at least I can console my way through the worst of them most of the time.....

Hi there. I may have a solution! Let me describe my problem.

Issue:
After starting 'Escape from the Cage' E11_MQ04, you spawn in and nothing happens. Dalin is nowhere to be found and the quest does not progress.

Solution:
Start an Emission; Restart the Main Quest; Stop the Emission

Process:
XStartEmission
= Wait until you receive a radio communication that the emission is starting =
XStartQuestBySID E11_MQ04
= Once Dalin spawns and begins talking, STOP the emission. Otherwise, you die! =
XStopEmission

After this, the game will progress as normal. If Dalin doesn't talk to you right away and waits outside of your cell, wait until the emission fully ends. Once it does, he'll talk to you.

Hope this helps!!
