[Solved] Cloudburst tank scan bug? It's not scanning unless I'm doing it wrong.

[A]

It's telling me to tap V to scan when in battle mode but it doesn't do anything. Any opinion?

Also, do I still get to do side quests or did I lock myself until the end of the game?

EDIT: I pressed X while in battle mode and it did the trick. I never even used this button in the batmobile and I'm 20 hours in lmao. The game kept telling me to use V which never worked.

Are you close enough to the tank to scan it? Try holding scan instead of tapping it.

You're not locked out of side missions, but first things first. Do not attempt any side missions until you conclude Cloudburst. There's a few topics here about players borking their playthroughs from not closing this chapter first, thus getting trapped inside GCPD.

RE: Cloudburst

Close enough to bump it and get shocked lol. Isn't this a common bug from what I've searched? (Maybe from a few years back.) Should I assume it's a bug and if so what can I do? Am I bricked if ever? I'm assuming coz it shouldn't be this difficult to initiate a scan imo.


RE: side missions

I see, not like I could pick them up since it's locked me to finishing it.

Did you both patch and verify the game after installing and before playing? Did you destroy the Cobra tanks before scanning the Cloudburst? Is your in-game screen resolution cranked to maximum? If so, try reducing it from inside the Graphic Options menu before scanning. Restart your computer if necessary.

You might also try rolling back your save to before the Cloudburst event from the main menu, or if your backups don't go back that far then at least before the Bleake Island battle.

Holy ♥♥♥♥, that's some extra work for a fix. I mean is this one of those things that made Arkham knight notorious?

Does the patch thing mean I have to get an unofficial patch?

Yes, I did destroy the cobra tanks, kinda implied when I was being asked to scan the Cloudburst tank. Are those fixes like the common attempts by the community to fix this section? The game for the most part was pretty stable and great until this momentum stopping bug.

Use the Steam patch, then verify. Patching and verifying should be performed after installing and before playing any Steam game:
1. Select game in Library, right-click Properties > Updates, choose Automatic Updating.
2. Select game in Library, right-click Properties > Local Files, Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

Most problems with scanning in the Arkham games usually involve overly high screen resolution. Reduce yours from inside the game's Graphic Options menu. Test with 1280x720 if necessary.

Most players don't have problems with this section, I know I never have. Try the above advice, then try rolling back your save to before the tank battle, before you set too many checkpoints.

I solved it, apparently X is the desired button not V as the game was prompting me to do. Weird, I didn't even know X had a thing to do in-game.

[JonoAMano]

Good job. You did say V key in an earlier comment, but I didn't catch it because I use a controller.

Got the same problem lmaoooooooooooo what a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying thing to go through

[d.v.os2006]

I always used X... Bc the game said "scan" and you also scan in detective mode. So yeah. i never read the hints. Unless i'm stuck which never happened to me.

[PURPBlight]

Doesn't work on my side, i used X and V for my binds and wont even work :(((
