dialog with Degtyarev wont start

[halkayed]

In the road to the foundation mission, i cant talk to Degtyarev, no dialog starts when i enter the room. does any body has a workaround for this bug?

same here. I tried the usual through the UE command line tool (restarting mission, setting it as finished, whatsoever...) but as another user pointed out, if you do that once too often, it might just break the quest line - did you have to use the console before or not ?
I guess I could jumpstart the next quest but there's just too much i'd be missing out on this time... Because the issue, AGAIN seems to happen after a monolith attack, (same as the bug with Richter at Yaniv, or the Spark at Malachite) I guess I'll try the same workarounds and will let you know. No dice on your side since ?

Hey there, here's what i've tried; for reference, i quicksaved just after the big fight, next to Degtyarev
-restarting the game
-reloading the save

There I noticed sth fishy; the whole camp is red for me, which i assumed is caused by me killing a few military in the fight against monolith - so i went backwards

-reload an earlier save (automatic) just before the fight

There I could manage to not kill degtyarev's men and the camp NPCS were white this time - sadly it didn't change a thing. But sth was amiss still: the waypoints marking the monolith assailllants i had to kill didn't point to the actual soldiers but to where they would have spawned, had i been earlier to the party.

- So I loaded a save before the fight actually triggers, ran there and got there in time so the markers actually match the soldiers - doesn't change a thing, actually the monolith soldiers didn't attack me before i opened fire

- eventually i tried the method that seems to work for some in yaniv - i tried to not draw a single gun and let the fight go its course; but it doesn't work, no one dies if i don't intervene - maybe by speeding time in the console idk

anyway still very much stuck, i guess i should open a ticket at GSC

Hello there ! I sorta fixed it. My save is probably screwed beyond repair but I guess it's the endgame so who cares.

When you stand next to degtyarev, type these in the console:

XStartQuestNodeBySID E14_MQ01_SetDialog_Dialog_Degotj

This will trigger the dialogue.
Then, after you get the quest items he sends you looking for, and you come back, for me, he was still kinda bugged, not recognizing i brought the items. This fixed it:

XStartQuestNodeBySID E14_MQ02_Start

Here you go. The game is most likely broken at this point, but so far so good.
