Plainsong Drone not reachable.

[jfpierce78]

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.

This is just a one time bug, go nearest fire, save, quit game, load back, go back to drone site, it should now start stopping at right places

Why are you wasting everyone's time with cheat engine ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥?

I ain't the one with the bug, am I? Keep waiting.. speaking of "wasted time"..

Same problem, the drone does not stop and flies in circles at absurd speed....

Still have the same problem here.

[Bug] Survey Drone: Plainsong. Drone not stopping where it's supposed to

Been trying to get this drone for half an hour, gave up and looked up a clip. The drone in my game is moving waayy faster and isn't stopping in front of the beam where you're supposed to grab it. It's only stopping at two points that are too high and too far

Have you reported it to Nixxes!?

[Grumpy-Granddad]

Been reported by me complete with foto's.
Besides the drone not stopping in the correct place it also moves way to fast and stops are to short.

It stops exactly where it should and you can actually do it from either gun emplacement but this one works 100% i just did it again to test it.

There is a difference between does not work and standing in the right place and being patient.

My friend, I can assure you with 100% certainty, it does not work. I have waited and watched that drone for a very long time, it does not stop in front of the beam like it's supposed to. I have compared my drone's pathing to others' (video guides) and I'm fairly confident my drone is bugged.

And with further research, turns out its a common bug that quite a few people have. And I suggest maybe being less of a ♥♥♥♥ next time

That is the correct place. Drone stops 100% or the time right there.

There is a bug. Discussed heavily in another thread. You have to save at a nearby campfire and reload until it behaves. It took me a dozen reloads before the drone acted the way it should. Sometimes it doesn't stop at all (with no mobs around). Sometimes it stops once. Sometimes it acts the way it should (stops in front of both turrets.)

Thanks, I'l try that out later and see if it fixes it

Good, I'd advise more people to do the same. I have seen a Nixxes rep in threads, but not often.

No, it's been going on for days in my game. I've tried reloading the area, saving and coming back, doing other quests, etc.

In order, the drone scans 3 times:

1) SW quadrant of the field
2)~20ft in front of the gate
3) high above the gate

On one occasion, after clearing the area of enemies, the drone sped up a lot and ceased scanning altogether.

Same bug, incidentally died from fall damage from the sunwing mount there over the drone and respawn at the near bonfire, after that the drone worked as intended and stopped at the proper jump point from the videos. Probably a few restarts will do the job too, but this is more brutal or just luck :D. Annoying, but at least it is not impossible for PC version.
