Post story Blackgate Prisoners bug

[SenMithrarin85]

First off, the first time I attempted one of these, it completely screwed the game up. To add detail, I was unable to apprehend the prisoner because he wasn't there! Only his companions. Upon realising what had happended, I tried to reload my last checkpoint (seems to be a necessity to progress in this game due to all the bugs...) and then game would not reload. I had a black screen with only the audio. I then could not close the game down, even the windows task manager couldn't kill the process, forcing a restart of Windows! After restarting my computer and the game I was able to apprehend him. However, this brings me onto my next problem...



Like the crime scene investigation sidequests (Jezebel Plaza, Dixon Docks etc) the conversation with Gordon (after the apprehension is complete), cuts off EACH AND EVERY TIME! All you hear is "Gor" instead of Gordon and the conversation doen not play. The same thing happens with the converations with Alfred at the end of the crime scene side quests. All you hear is "Al" instead of Alfred. Just to reiterate what everyone else is saying WB, the sheer amount of bugs in this game (both annoying like above, and game-breaking like the Burnley Tower) is absolutely rediculous and nigh on a week later...still no patch from you guys. I understand that these bugs can be "hard to pin down" but the very fact that so many people have found them beggars belief that you DIDN'T.

Edit: This was typed just before the patch went live, and I believe that the bugged tower is fixed now. Can anyone confirm if any of the other stuff I've mentioned (or other things that have been reported such as the Mad Hatter lilypad have been sorted?)

I just got to the point post the patch where I've finished the main story, gotten all the Enigma collectables, apprehended all the assasins, and just finished all the crime stuff.

During the crime scenes I only heard maybe 4-5 of them once I completed them. Had the same issue you describe, and with the blackgate prisoners, they aren't there. I'm going to have to restart the game or reboot to do this I suppose.

So yes, the issue is still there.

I have this problem as well, im 19/20 out of the blackgate prisoners. As I was trying to interogate the last prisoner, he simply became un-targetable and phased out...
I've re-loaded the game, entered buildings, extied the building, fast traveled... nothing seems to work.

Check to see if everyone has the issue with the same guy. If it's one particular thug then it might be easier to fix. Post it in this thread and then if that is confirmed or denied it can be posted in the official bug forums. If you can use a screenshot of the thug's location.

I'm having that issue with one Prisoner - number 20 in the south of Park Row. I beat all the guys in the area and he does the Waiting for Interrogation animation but I can't target him. I've quit and reloaded a couple of times but he's still uncatchable.

Okay, I may have figured this. I scoured the whole area and found that there were some enemies hidden/stuck behind scenery that were never involved in the combat, but apparently still counted as enemies that needed to be defeated.
If you're having this untargetable enemy issue try going into Detective Mode and beating everyone within sight of the prisoner.

I'm playing on PC and I'm having a problem with prisoner number 01. The one right outside the courthouse in park row. I had already tracked him down and beaten him and his friends. Usually after these encounters before you interrogate them the option to interrogate pops up along with which button to click. However mine just isn't popping up and I'm unable to interrogate him as well. hes just standing there cowering in fear and no matter how i approach him he just cant be interrogated. I left the place and decided to come back hoping it would be fixed but they all just disappeared yet the prisoner icon on the map is still there. I've fast traveled, reloaded the game, restarted my PC but he just isn't there anymore. I'm already at 19/20 Anyone else having this same problem with this same guy?

make sure to restart from a checkpoint as soon as gordon gives you this quest. if you attempt to go after the prisoners straight after gordon's call, then they will not be there. Once again, reload your checkpoint and then go after them. This got them to spawn for me, but the apprehension conversations with Gordon are still screwed up.

[UnBeastable]

Hey did any of you find how to finish it cause i am having the same problem. There was no one to interrogate after i beaten up the thugs

[Bloody|Sic]

I still have this problem

For me I never see Prisoner 9. Occasionally there will be one random enemy just walking around, but usually I don't have anyone ever appear.

To whom it may concern, I seem to have found a workaround for this bug.
For some reason the dialogue almost never cuts off when I have a Flash stream running on my browser window in the background. I recently played this while watching a Twitch stream on my secondary screen and it all worked pretty much like a charm. Believing the bug had been resolved I just tried resuming picking off the Blackgate prisoners and there it was again. So I tried another prisoner while having a Youtube video run in the background and voila it was all good again. Seems it has to be running, too, since I already had a stream on pause before I tried it with a Youtube vid in the background and that didn't seem to do anything.
Don't ask me what the logic behind this is, though. My guess is probably as good as yours.

This worked for me.

yeah. its the magic fix for 90% of this game's unpatched bugs

While I never experienced any issues with the prisoners interrogation, I always get the glitch with the dialogue mentioned above. It happens at random. I tried reset to last checkpoint (if I'm fast enough) and I tried reloading the location via Batwing (which works sometimes, but not always).
