Another Universal Brotherhood Bug

[Lum Shipbuilder]

So, the bug that I'm running into this time is that when I enter the Universal Brotherhood and exit out of the description blurb at the bottom of the screen, I am unable to move. At all. In addition, when I go into my menu to try to see if I can work around it, instead of seeing my runner name and stats, the only thing I see is a character named 'MyNameIsATroll8800'. Now, as lovely as Troll8800 is, with every stat and skill at 99, I would rather be able to play my own character and move about. Is anyone else running into this? And are we aware of a work around? I've tried reloading an older save and heading into the building again, but I get the same response every time.

me too :(

When I go in there I can't control my char and he just goes walking around and casting buffs on himself endlessly, also tried reloading, uninstalling, clearing cache etc. Need help!

[zarathustra]

I managed to get past it by loading an earlier save and instead of going directly to the Brotherhood building from the cemetery, I went back to the Seamstresses Union, then to the Brotherhood building.

Hm, I should try that I guess. Nothing else I've done works.
Did everyone who's having this send in a bug report? Just to make sure the devs know about it, since it seems several of us have experienced this problem.

Hello,

This sounds like an issue that was caused by the 1.2.4 patch, and fixed in the 1.2.5 patch. You still may be experiencing it if you have a save file from the 1.2.4 patch, to have the fix applied to your save file please Restart the level you are in or Rewind back to prior to the start of the mission, presumably to the last Seamstress Union visit. After this you should be able to play the game as normal.

If you are unable to resolve your issue please let us know.

My game version is the latest, since I just bought it, so I'm not sure what's up then. I finally got around it by unequipping all of my Rigger's drones.

I already sent the required bug report dump files to your support address, so hopefully when you guys pick through those it might shed some light on things.

[BennyBongo]

Yup. Just bought the game over the weekend and encountered the same exact problem. Restarting the level and removing my drone seemed to fix it.

[Harebrained Schemes]

Thank you for reporting this issue, and for sending us the dump files. Our testers will now look into this issue to see if we can pin down the cause of this issue. If you have any further information about this issue or the steps that you are taking to reproduce this issue please let us know.

I have the same issue. I cannot move my character or the camera. My character stats are all at 99 and my profile says "I am a weak but powerful troll decker. I should have drank more milk"... something along those lines... I have also a drone equipped (maybe that's the issue).

Restarting the level does not fix it. My last not autosave-savegame is from two days ago. I don't want to re-play everything from that point again. Please fix the bug, I want to continue to play that great game!

Playing on Mac OS X Mavericks, Intel Iris Graphics, 8 GB RAM.

EDIT: Ah, found the "rewind" feature. Unequipping the drone worked!

[Dulimus]

I have the same problem, it's clearly related to the fact that i entered in with drones though the man at the door says that you have to go in alone

[Aletheos]

I had this same issue in v 1.2.7
I think it might have to do with the level design, and not so much a fault in the game engine. If you try to quicksave when this bug happens, the game will tell you that you can't do that during an NPC turn, almost like there's an NPC moving, interrupting player control, like in battle or cutscenes.
I "fixed" it with this ugly little hack;
Run the editor. Open ..\steamapps\common\Shadowrun Returns\Shadowrun_Data\StreamingAssets\ContentPacks\dead_man_switch\project.cpack.bytes
Open the universal brotherhood scene.
Open scene properties, Hiring tab.
Check 'Show Equip Screen at Map Start'
Save over the original map.

Open the game
Load an earlier save and re-enter the map.

Now, i tried changing many other things as well, but I think this was what finally got it working.

Solution is quite simple. Get rid of your drone. You have to enter alone! When you enter there with your drone it is bugged and you can't move. I unequipped my drone and it worked!

[Jubanen]

Dassein... that might be it, this bug happened to me but really it fits the game pretty well and when it happened I was at first unsure it even was a bug.. since its completely possible some one hijacked in to my characters mind jack thingy and scrambled my stats and took over me :P

To me it was even worse though since I have one spell on my Rigger and that is that Killer fists spell (dont ask why I bought it) and when ever I would enter the Universal Brotherhood building my character would start slowly walking up and after a while stop and kill himself by spamming the killer fists spell (since you lose life if you use a spell while its CD is still up)... killer fists indeed!!

[.:Lucky:.™]

over a year later and this is still a problem, wow. Atleast this post is still around or I'd be screwed. Devs might want to get onto fixing this, I imagine it doesn't take over a year to code a simple fix for this.

[.:Lucky:.™]

This actually really sucks, because I built my character completely around drones, and since I have to remove all my drones to get in, I can not re-equip them. Making my character completely useless. So now I am unable to finish this part of the game. :<
