Last mission (SPOILERS) [Resolved] : Ark gate doesn't open in solo after having opened it on another multiplayer server
Hello everyone, i'm a little stuck here :
Last time i stopped my solo play before getting the glitch orb.
I joined my friend to get the orb on his server (with him), we returned to Esther and she opened the Ark. We got in and i had to leave on the Ruin world.
As I came back to my solo play, i did the Glitch mission again (because of the server-side related advancement of quests) and now i'm in front of the Ark, with 5 out of 6 orbs. Esther has the last one but won't give it to me and open the Ark. The only thing she say is "I'm here whenever you need me, dear. Especially if you'd like a mint humbug".
I tried to beam to my ship and back, relaunch the game, teleport with admin command, nothing did the trick.

If someone has an idea how to bypass or resolve this problem, please tell me.

PS : I'll do the final quest with my friend in a day or two (if the portal is still open on his server), but also wanted to do it on my solo server, to have everything completed ;)

It's a flaw in the save system where it critically fails if you don't exit via the menu.

Apparently, trying to do the final quest sequences in multiplayer can trigger the bug resulting in a corrupted single player save file. It usually just resets your waypoints, arc quest line, and sends you off to a random planet to start over. I've heard that if you know where your original planets are then you can warp back to them and reclaim your outposts/flags, but to regain your quest progress you'll have to resort to using console cheat commands or redo all the quests by finding another gate back to the arc.

In a worst case scenario the bug can apparently cause the loss of your character outright...

I just found a solution in another bug report thread. (Didn't really look at it until now)
https://steamcommunity.com/app/211820/discussions/3/353915953250547602/
"open the chat and:
/admin
/failquest destroyruin
/admin
"
then you have to return to the gate and the lady will have the quest and will open the door.
I just tried it and it worked. Hope this will help you !
