Attack on Courthouse quest is broken

[Anba-sama]

So I'm in a mission called Attack on Courthouse. I've looked everywhere in this place for the OCB Access Card. I looked so thoroughly that I googled where it spawns in, but for some reason in my game, it won't spawn in on top of the desk in the court, left of the judges desk.

This breaks the quest and makes it unbeatable.

Same!
Encountered this bug an hour ago. The way point is on an empty desk.

It's the second bug I've encountered in this stage. The other one was the phone booth to call Samantha Oritz not working.

Calling Samantha worked for me, but I can't get the access card. I even tried reloading from the last checkpoint and it still wasn't there.

I think I've found a way to progress. There's a wall that can be breached in the downstairs bathroom (on the left as you're entering the building)

There's another courtroom, that does have an access card.
Let me know if this helps!

I think you have to pick up a Fake ID or False Access Card in the first court room in order for the actual Access Card to spawn in the second court room.

I thought I had this issue. After clearing the first court room, I breached the bathroom wall into the second court room. Cleared it, couldn't find the access card.

Went back to the first room. Ensured all evidence was picked up. Re-entered the second. Nothing.

Reloaded....cleared and collected in first court room. Breached and cleared 2nd court room. Found access card.

This worked for me. Think it's just a random glitch they haven't ironed out yet. Hope this helps.

I enter the main room and clear it. I even took the fake id card from the security booth connected to that main room. I took all evidence that I could find, but it still didn't spawn in the first court room, with the open door on the second floor.

I just reloaded an earlier autosave and went back into the courthouse and it still wasn't there.

Ah, I feel silly. I went into the bathroom AGAIN an this time I noticed a weakened wall and found an access card.

Glad you solved it. :)

This is scripted, the card appears in the second courtroom automatically. So if you go to the left courtroom through the bathroom using the weak wall you can get stuck. If you go in clear the room and move up to the right, there is an open door to the right courtroom balcony. Then you can open the secure courtroom door, move across to the weakened wall in the bathroom, break through and get the key.

I think the Devs expected this to be the scripted path people would take.

edit: I went back, the right courtroom top floor has an open door all the time, easy to miss with that security door as a distraction I guess.

I wish the game would tell you when there are optional quests, I finished this story mission and didn't realise there was a sidequest at the courthouse until after the mission was over and there's no way to go back and replay the missed content.

This feeds into the constant requests for a New Game+ feature. We all want to play this game again, without having to start over, nor needing to cover every single little objective / quest as we play.
I am one of those who prefer to search, explore, and solve every puzzle. However, it would behoove the devs to remember that many gamers prefer the bare-bones of the main plot. New Game+ would certainly enhance their experience with this game.

Thank you, that worked. :)

This happened to me too. I went to the courtroom on the left first (through the bathroom wall) and it didnt spawn. I tried it twice. I cleared the right court room then the left courtroom, then it spawned. Maybe just a bug.

Thank you. All the previous missions were ok, but for some reason this one was really confusing. Done.
