Prison Break heist is broken. Avoid doing it.

[Elwis]

I wonder when R* will fix the glitch, where Rashkovsky (guy you're supposed to get outta the prison) just constantly hides behind a temporary wall while under attack of the police, and simply refuses to follow you, thus stopping all the progress with the heist.

It's basically impossible to finish it. Even if you throw a sticky bomb at the dude, or run him over, he does not care. He gotta stay in that glitched cover like that is his whole life now.

Saddest part is, new players can't progress with the original heists because of that, missing out on possibly a whole lot of discounts and experience.

That definitely does happen, I see reports about the Rashkovsky not moving bug fairly routinely here on the forum and I encountered it myself a handful of times last year, but just for the record I helped some players complete the Prison Break finale yesterday and it went perfectly fine. I wish there were a way to know what might trigger it to happen, but I don't know whether or not that's been identified.

You got lucky, I was in 3 heists in a row today. All of them were not finished, cause Rashkovsky did not wanted to move. This is a serious problem, even if it might not seem like it.

I do agree it's a serious issue and one that's so well known at this point that there's no excuse the devs haven't stepped in sooner with a real fix.

I have seen it recently, more than once.
We did eventually pull it off, but I'm just as clueless as to what's causing it again.
I have no scientific proof of this, but on the 3rd attempt the other Day, when it did work, The Pilot stayed as far away from Prison as possible. And the Demo Player DID NOT engage the guards.
It Bugged out every time The pilot got on the Jet's 6 and I went over to the Prison in the Buzzard ( standing off a bit ) to help out with the Guards.
( which in the Olde' Days is how we did it over and over and over before Business' )

I just wish Lester would stop spamming me about it…

simple fix
dont start the heist in public session
and to avoid the bug even more
invite 3 other players to same invite only session
having invite only session as the host as well as whole crew in same inv only session fixes most of these bugs

True that, and I do this with the Casino Heist if and when there's a laggy Player, but it's been so long ... The APT Heist need to be started in Public session ... the way I remember it.
Correct ?????????????

[CHERKASHMAN]

Right now i was doing this heist and i think i found a way to make rashkovsky move. So i was capming rashkovsy as a guard and the prisoner killed all enemies and while he was standing close to police van, rashkovsky started to move, im not sure if this works in 100% of lobbies but you can at least try

I had been waiting to give a chance to huut to reply, but far as I know the original apartment heists can be done via an invite lobby and in any case they're all instanced situations when you launch them. The preps for Doomsday are the only heist work I know of that requires public freeroam.

[LionSpear]

Invite lobby didn't work for me as the host, as well as staying away from jets and other ways.

What did help me was deleting the GTAV folder in username/appdata/local/rockstar games before launching the game and let it download necessary files. No issues after that.

Interesting ...
When it comes to these old heist I'm always along for the ride these Days, looks like I'm gonna have to get off my Butt and host (finish the one that been in process for 3 years) one again now.
Thank goodness I don't have to do that little Heist with the puzzle to test this out.

Everytime I've seen that happen it's caused by players clearing too far ahead of Rashkovski without turning back & making sure he's following. When you get near the 3 guards, 2 on the ground & 1 on the watertower, he should have progressed before you move into the next section. If not then you need to run back & get him before moving on. So many people get to the end, near the escape truck, & realize he hasn't progressed. By that time he's been glitched. I've accidentally triggered the last section 1st when taking a vehicle into the yard... The audio plays out of sync & it glitches him.

Edit to add:
The first audio que is the agent telling you to "clear the yard & Rashkovski will advance". That's up to the watertower. After you kill those 3 you need to go back & get him to follow, or 1 of the 2 players can sort of hang back near him & that usually works too.

[DEAD MEAT]

sometimes he's stuck ... and when we go back to get him he's running in place or some crap.
