Act 4: Heinrix Companion Quest Bug

[Akaranth]

Just a warning, I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but I have to reference explicit events here.


I'm currently trying to finish Heinrix's companion quest in act 4. When arriving at the facility, there is an encounter. Every time the encounter loads and the enemies spawn, there's an animation that plays out. The animation never finishes naturally, I always have to skip it. This alone doesn't break the quest, but it is a bug in the same storyline.

When speaking with Emelina Lichtenhart, after a few lines of dialogue, the conversation ends abruptly and the quest seems to become frozen. She states what her course of action is, and then just nothing. No response from Heinrix. No response from the Rogue Trader. She simply states what she is doing and the dialogue immediately ends.

I've tried loading different saves, redoing the planet, closing rogue trader and relaunching it and then doing the same. It all just keeps breaking. The game in general does not appear stable in act 4.

Having something similar in terms of bug annoyance - every time I try to enter the big doors right after the mandrake attack on this planet (i.e. all the mandrakes are dead), the attack starts over again with the frost, and a digger fires their shotgun... but no mandrakes.

I can't proceed, so guess it's time to get back in the shuttle never to return? Have also had some Russian/cyrillic script appearing in my action logs in the game for this encounter, which I assume is also not supposed to be there.

Where did you found planet\system to start this quest? I think i`ve been to all systems and literały don`t see this planet from Emelina message...

Just one of the reasons I'm leaving a neg review and never buying another Owlcat game.

Same for me. First 'real' bug I've run into. I also don't see the quest itself in the journal.

Kinda glad I pass this quest without problems, even got it succesfully done.

Praise the Emprah!

Okay, I was able to get it working with Toybox. Just had to 'unstart' the quest sections which had failed, and complete the Mandrake quest section.

Quest is still broken after today's patch in case you're wondering.

[Brutosh]

Yup. Still broken. My review will remain negative until they fix it.
