Plainsong Drone not reachable.
I can not capture it. I have watched several videos (all from the PS release years ago), but in my game the drone takes the same path, but it moves at four times the speed as it does in the videos. So from the turrets on either side, you can't see it in the point of view that you need to time the jump. It takes roughly 13 seconds for it to complete a lap of it's entire path. for 12.5 seconds of it unreachable from either turret. Is this a port bug, or a bug in my game? I have quit and reloaded the game several times, no change.

Same here. It does stop on the central platform between the two canons. Unreachable because too high.

Today, after a fresh start of the PC and the game, the issue is gone.

Okay I just checked my game since I haven't been up there yet. I was able to get to it via the turret sticking out right of the main gate 2nd floor and it was going fine for me. weird yours is going fast, any way to record a video of yours?

Drone stops at least six times. I just did this and jumped on to it from the cannon barrel where it stops. Try lowering the resolution in the settings. I've had one issue where the frame timing seemed to be off and I could not make a particular jump. I'm ok with 35fps because I love the pretty 4K, but that one sequence seemed to need at least 45fps. It was the one in the relic ruin where you have to jump on to the movable flood lights then jump backwards onto a ledge. Missed the back jump every time at 35fps but got it first time at 45fps.

Mine is stopping at the top of the gate (where you blew the wall using firegleam) and there's no way to go there unless maybe gliding starting from the top of the mountain.

Tried to restart from main menu and the drone doesn't stop at all, it also gone faster where you couldn't scan it, even while using mouse. If somehow this is related to Frame, I'm only capping my monitor to 75hz.

Plainsong Survey Drone?
I cant leap to the drone, it stops in the middle of the forest with no place to leap from, and too high in the air where I cant get it. I have looked up guides on this and it stops in different spots on those videos. not sure if this is a bug?

I have a similar bug - the drone for me never pauses and just zooms around far too quickly to get a jump on it.

Same here. Depending on what save I load it either zooms around without stopping or only stops directly above the gate where I can't reach it. When I first found the area, the drone stopped in several spots, but I had no idea how to get inside, saw the fire crystal stuff and figured I'd go back later. It's been wonky and glitched since I went back and set off the crystals.

Same here. Really frustrating.

Reloading the save worked for me

Had the same problem of it being high above the gate, but managed to grab it. Climb up the mountain northeast of it and glide all the way down. Took me 5 attempts but it does work.

Nice job with a workaround but I think we'd all just appreciate it if the drone was stopping where it should be. Because I know this now I'm going to drive myself crazy with trying to do it this way.

Just want to say this worked for me as had the same issue with my drone stopping but too high above the middle portion of the fort. If you climb the mountain behind and jump off around the time the drone stops at the far portion of its path you can glide down and take it down. It might take a few tries but defiantly possible. Thanks Kitty.
