Cannot finish side-quest blackgate prisoners

[Mercury1337]

I am only missing blackgate prisoner 17 - but if I go there there are no enemys at all - can anybody please help?

Have you tried reloading a checkpoint? This quest has been bugged since launch. Some prisoners do not appear where they should.

I had this happen with a handful of the guys. Simply exit the game and reload, and all the enemy spawns reload. Rince and repeat for any guy who doesn't spawn, as many times as necessary. Shouldn't take more than the first time though.

I have tried it - even closed the game and started agin - still the same problem :-(((

I am giving up - finished other quests in the meantime but still no possibility to finish blackgate prisoners - AO is the worst part of the trilogy so far (not only because of this bug)

Unfortunately, this is one of those bugs where you need to know the workaround before it happens. The guy that always glitches on my game is in Industrial District west of Sionis Steel Mill. The solution is to immediately duck into any open building, then return to the problem area. Restarting the checkpoint or returning to the BatCave will only serve to further inhibit the inmate from spawning, and exiting and restarting the game isn't always reliable.

What I do after concluding the final Crime Alley Shooting location in Industrial District is to listen to Gordon's comms without skipping through dialogue; when the conversation ends, head directly to an open structure -- Steel Mill, Sheldon Park, Final Offer -- before hunting my first escapee capture. That's the only reliable non-modded workaround that I can offer.

What new players should do on any game in case of glitches during exploration or achievement hunting is to make periodic manual backups of their saves for games that lack a built-in backup system. That way they can load an earlier save from before the glitch area.

thanks for your effort , its so bad that devs didn't fix these annoying bugs since launch , can't really enjoy the experience at all .

alright guys , it seems i finally found the solution to this problem : its very simple :
just circle around the area and keep killing all the thugs and finish some " crime in progress " activities by the way if you encountered any
they will just respawn along with bugged/glitched prisoner .
i found this solution by chance
