Softlocked in chapter 4 (can't use the airstrike terminal)

[John J. Matrix]

In chapter 4 I cannot insert the triangulation data disk into the floppy drive, making it impossible to call in an airstrike and blow open the hatch to the underground labs.

Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a solution? I already loaded up an old autosave and battled my way through to the same spot, alas, same bug struck me again.

If you're using a old profile I would suggest making a new one. Oddities such as this will happen due to how the save system works. Specifically when a patch drops.

Edit: Either this or load a few checkpoints back and try again.

I am having this same problem. Can select the paper files and fan behind the drives. Cannot select the drives or computer. The floppy shows up as an icon in the bottom right showing I have picked it up.

Seems this is a new soft lock the latest patch introduced.

[DCSTU]

Same here. The disc drive is just... the interaction won't show up.

EDIT: I replayed the whole map (via chapter select, the save games seems to be currupt) and... the floppy is now gone too. BUT the laptop is already unlocked, which is nice.

EDIT 2: why are the floppy discs, valves... are there in the first place? I mean, they are placed right next to the target object.

With the newest update the floppy disc isn’t needed anymore and you just use the screen thing to aim the air strikes.

Dang. Screen just won’t work now eh?

No idea why they even made this change. Now they just made a new softlock

Unfortunately that's the case for me too. I see the terminal but can't use it. I also created a new profile but it still doesn't work.

Dang. Again no idea why they changed this. Didn’t hear people complain about it. And they made a new soft lock instead lol

The only solution would be to create a ticket at the saber site and hope the devs fix it
please create a ticket here: https://support.saber.games/hc/en-us/requests/new
i don't know if they will, i have many ticket open and just 1 issues was fixed to this day.

[Funkkeyer]

Joining the 3DR Discord and taking to them there helps too.

From what I see Saber itself doesn’t have a Discord?

I have done everything I can to replicate this so far and have not been able to softlock myself so far. Both on my old profile and one I just created. What are y'all doing exactly to cause this?

[AFAWKS]

I just had this happen to and i can't continue with my current progress. I never played this part of the game yet and its basically just no way to move forward. She grabs the disk and you can't interact with the terminal at all. Guess I'll wait for them to fix this. Better luck next patch.

After restarting the level it worked.
but why should I spend effort in searching nanites, if I get all the nanites from the previous levels if I start a level in the menu?
If I start a level this way, all my upgrades are gone and I have to play a big part of the level without any upgrades until I reach an upgrade terminal.
I seems the whole progression system has a bad design.
