Gollop Chamber issue
My problem is that I have built the chamber, I have six PSI soldiers maxed out, in PSI with mindshields. All over them have 90+ will and yet I can not get the Gollop Chamber to work. I have the button right above the Mission Control button, but nothing happens when I click it, no error message, no warning... nothing happens. I've read the forums and it seems like I have covered all the things people say you need to do to access the chamber but still I can't. Is there anything I'm missing, or is my game bugged somehow?

I believe you have to equip one with Psi Armor (not Mindshields) in order for them to be eligable. None of the other stuff really matters.

Aye indeed the psi armor it is.

yup you do indeed need the Psi armour, to give that little "extra"
However, make sure the person you stick into the machine, is some one you really want on the final mission... as you have to take that person, as in you have no choice but to take this person + 5 randoms :P

I have them all in PSI armor, I should have said I have them all in PSI armor, and Mindsheilds, left out the armor. It still doesn't do anything when I click the Gollop chamber button.

Maybe a long shot, but I had a similar problem with the hyperwave relay: The cinematics for the Relay had to complete before I could use it: The problem was...I skipped the movie for the relay...so now what? I kept playing and couldn't scan with the relay. Eventually a research project completed (Shiv) and that cinematic played and *then* the second half of the Hyperwave Relay cinematic finally triggered. I could now scan with it. Maybe your same problem? - do you have any research/foundry projects/new facilities to build still? Maybe their cinematic will trigger something...

I'd researched/built everything I had the ability to. I made the mistake of getting the DLC before checking the forums, and it won't load that game anymore.

I have this same issue. I have 3 psi members all 91+50 wearing the psi armor and mind shield and I am unable to actually click the Gallop Chamber any longer...

take the phy armor off and put it back ob it will activate the gallop

^^ this.

The gollop triggers when you equip the armor. It should trigger if anyone already has it equipped, but it doesn't.

Well it seems that the game chooses the volunteer on random. I remember Vahlen saying something like "we believe this soldier is able to use the alien device" when I put psi-armor on one of my maxed out psi operatives even though I already had soldiers like that. Also only that one could proceed to the Gollop Chamber.

My last playthrough I had 7 soldiers that could be used for the Gollop Chamber, which coincidentally were all the soldiers in psi armor.

She says that when you equip a soldier with psi armor for the first time after the Gollop Chamber has been finished
