Big Oil Bug?

[Corvus Corax]

Here's what happened.

As I started Big Oil day 2 I went to look for all the clues that could spawn upstairs and I only found the clipboard that indicated the number of nozzles which it indicated was 1 nozzle. Once I opened the basement I looked for the clue that showed the type of gas but didn't find it at all.

So I decided to just get all the engines that had only 1 nozzle. There were 2 possible engines and I also got lucky and got the pool chopper spawn. First engine I delivered was a bust, but I wasn't worried since I only had 1 more to deliver. To my surprise the 2nd one was a bust as well. After that I checked multiple times if I missed any more engines but all of them had more than 1 nozzle.

So what I'm asking is if this is a known bug? If it is, sorry for not searching for it as I'm in a hurry so I typed this pretty quick.

The clues always spawn, but the only bugs I've ever seen involving them is sometimes clients will see the wrong clues. (example: 3h may spawn for host, but a client may see a 1h clue).

Next time, bring a flashlight and look very carefully on the corners of the desks in the lab. The clues blend into the desks down there and are incredibly hard to see unless you have a flashlight.

The hints can spawn in a lot of places. If you want to know where they can spawn here's a guide: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=245702671

I was playing singleplayer so the host and client mess could not have been it.
It's very much possible that I missed the 2nd clue in the basement.

Thanks, I'll check that out once I'm back on my pc.

Still, nothing changes the fact that the only 2 possible correct engines were not the right ones. I'm a 100% sure that one clue indicated only one nozzle. But such is my luck in this game I guess. :P

This does seem to be a bug. I just played Big Oil, got 1 nozzle, >400 bar pressure and blue can - engine 2, yet it was still incorrect. Seems like the update that fixed the cold fusion research notes borked the heist.

[ninja crouton]

There has been a recent introduction of a bug that makes the notes and the engines not line up. It's a problem.

[Corvus Corax]

That's unfortunate, the heist is already tough as it is without the bugged intel.

One part of the vent may fall over the intel in the scientist's office, when cloakers come out.
Shoot it to read the clue. Or throw a grenade on it.

Yep, that actually happened to me during that run xD

Jst a little FYI:

If you have the intel "Cold fusion research" from day 1, it's always Deuterium 3H. In that case you only need the PSI from the monitor.

Can't remember if I got that intel, but it could've been the case.

When there is one nozzle all you need is the PSI to find the correct engine. Element is not necessary. If the psi is less than its engine 1 if it is greater then its engine 2.

O, I just mentioned that so when you get that one, you wont even fuss yourself looking for intel.

[Corvus Corax]

Damn, just how many times have you played that heist? :p

Though I could've read a guide myself I suppose, but I never remember to do so.
Nonetheless all very useful info, thanks!

It's bugged now - I found all 3 clues in my game yesterday, all pointed to engine 2 (blue can, 1 nozzle, >400 bar) but Bain said it was the wrong engine :(

Yep, seems like a bug on the clues. Yesterday a clue said Nitrogen for me but for a mate of mine it was Deuterium, and Deuterium was the correct element. Nozzles and pressure were right, though.
