Paschall Trainyard can't be captured (BUG/GLITCH)

[Altermind]

In order to capture this point, you have to drive to bike on the dynomo to power up the generator but when i try to do that it just wont work, i dont even get the option to rev the engine, the bike just looses the sound untill i flip with it and believe me i tried for about 20 minutes to make it work. I love this game, and i wanna get all the achievements for it, but this is the second time i face this bug (happend to me in my first playthrough in a different zone where i couldnt activate the radio transmitter) and it really annoys me since i got all the other achievements but cant get the one where u have to capture all the strike points. Did anybody came across this problem and managed to fix it and if some of the devs are reading this, can this please be fixed?

Did you turn on the device inside the building first? Like, the dynamo can't be used until you've activated the generator inside the building. Did you do that first?

I have this same problem. Inside the building where the computers and generator are, there's nothing for me to select to activate the need for the dynamo. There should be an attempt to turn the computers on first, right?

[Altermind]

Yeah well that's the main problem, usually what you do is you go into the building, you press E on the generator next to the computer, then go and do the thing with the bike...my problem is that i can't click anything on the generator next to the computer. I don't get the option to press E so the dynomo won't work after trying to power it up with the bike. I'm rly sad it happend to me both times in my both playthroughs, rly wanted to make it 100% and i have no will to do it all over again :(

Would you mind uploading your save files so I can take a look at it myself?

Should be under C:\Users\Your Account TName\Saved Games\homefront2\SaveGames

Sure man, thanks for taking your time https://dbr.ee/idwZ

That's definitely broken. :( Annoying that the devs haven't plugged this bug already. And it's unclear whether there are any more patches.

So when did you first attempt the train depot strike point? Was it when you were first in this yellow zone, or did you go back later? There must be a specific sequence of events that causes the generator to not be usable.

[Altermind]

I went back for it after i progressed with the story a bit, but when i came across this bug for the first time (in the gased area on my first playthrough) i was doing the strikepoints as soon as i got near them, cleaning them with the campaign missions along so that isn't the cause of the problem. This is what i noticed tho that made them not work: usually when you get near an enemy strikepoint, you get the mission that's attached to it (kill certain enemies, blow up stuff, power up generators), but in my both cases i didnt even recieve the mission when i came near them, it was just marked on the map, but no text log or mission on the phone.. Anyways, thanks for taking your time to try to help me but it's beyond our hands and i don't think more patches will go out for this game, so yeah, just hope someone doesn't get unlucky for this bug if he's going for the all achievements.

I think it may have been because you didnt have the heart and minds up to 100%. I know that for me some points are unable to be taken because the resistance meter for hearts and minds isnt up to 100% yet.

So it is a possibility as well unless you already had it at 100.

I dont remember if ive gotten to here or not tho so i could be wrong

Actually, it is curious that there is only a small icon for the strike point. Usually there are two icons stacked on top of each other.

[DyeHardFan]

I have two icons, one for the strike point and one for "Locate the Surveillance System". Which indicates to me is that the bug was that it didn't ever detect that I had found the computers.
