[PC GAMEBREAKING BUG]Homing Missiles not 'homing' on enemies in Rico and the Rose mission

[Dee]

There's no way to win the mission unless you're extremely good at shooting cannons on all those planes going 2 times faster than your jet. The homing missile isn't working on that mission. I've been trying to win the mission for 45 minutes now. I can kill 2-3 jets but the other ones just zoom past, no way to hit them. If only I can hijack their planes one by one, but there's a countdown.

[flw]

exactly. there's another thread on here with other people, such as me, encountering the exact same issue. there's also a thread on the official bug forum. the bug prevents any further story progress.
i'm guessing there's only a handful of reports of this because other people simply haven't made it this far yet, be it either due to less time played or to other technical issues.

[Dee]

I tried again... There's definitely no way to win it. The jets are too fast to shoot with cannons.

Yeah only a handful. I'm guessing most didn't bother finishing the storyline first lol. They grinded the challenges.

i just hope that they have multiple teams working on patches. with the amount of technical issues people have, i guess they'll prioritize getting the game to run on as many systems as possible. hopefully, they won't neglect the fact that, even if the game does run, it has at least this one issue which prevents us from playing it further.

Same issue here. I was thinking for a while that there is a separate button for locking the target but apparently not, well at least I could not make it happen

[flw]

welp, all there is to do is raise awareness about this issue. it's a damn shame, too, because apart from this problem here, the game ran smoothly and i enjoyed it a lot.

Just hit this mission, same issue. Retried/relaunched, still can't actually get the missiles to home in.

Well game breaking bugs like this suck. You think someone would have played the story through and discovered this...oh well.

[TheForestSpirit]

Oh man this really does suck. Was looking so forward to this game and so far It's just one Issue after the other.

Unless they fix It soon I'm just not going to care about this game anymore.

[Denis]

In having the same issue has anyone found a fix?

[flw]

afaik, there is neither a fix nor an official acknowledgement of the problem. i guess we'll have to wait.

[flw]

oh, and i kindly direct all of you to the official bug report forum. keep it visible, it's our best shot at getting this resolved as soon as possible.

I restarted my game and it fixed it. I completed the mission with ease.

Having reached this point in the game yet, but i do have trouble using a controler (which i prefer for this type of game) because there doesnt seem to be any aim assist or target lock, would love if they could add this or fix it.

it's solved!
if you still encounter this bug, disable your "precision aim" mod. this solved the problem and i now completed the mission. will post another thread about this, too.
please report in if it helped you guys.
edit: a user suggested i should include the restarting as part of our "fix". So the steps are:
1. disable precision aiming,
2. properly shut down the game and
3.restart it.
this might solve it, or it doesn't. some people also apparently have used a xbox360 controller and reported that using the controller for the mission worked for them. haven't tried it myself though.
