a trace of metal stuck

[Red-Dead-Scorpion]

I'm stuck where I have to find Artemis with the impulse drive.
After I found him and contacted him, I couldn't go any further.
Savegame already edited, multiplayer turned off, nothing works.
Is there a solution to this quest bug that I missed?
Or is this quest so buggy that there is no solution?

Same here, I manage to find the atlas beacon, I have the dialogue, and then the screen is left stuck to the right of my cockpit, as if it couldn't manage to give me the radiant brain, and can't even open the game's menu, only way is to alt tab the game and then I respawn where I was, still on the same point... Tried everything, couldn't get it to work so I'm stuck in this quest...

Similar issue after giving the hacked brain to the atlas beacon during the exosuit quest.

[KannonFoddr]

Same here. Atlas beacon locks up the game, unable to proceed, or exit out. Have to kill it through "Stop" on the Steam page.

[Xyne]

Same. Trying to get the radiant brain, and after the conversation with the atlas messenger I can't move or access menus.

[jpdominator]

Same

[Srow]

i've got the same issue

[Noxxrogg]

same

[Phoenix]

same. no solutions to this? tried reloading multiple times considering right now editing the json file to mark this section complete and hopefully skip the quest

I found a solution but it ain't pretty and it involves a save editor.

1. Download - https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor
2. Backup your save.
3. Start program and use the File menu select the menu item 'Open File / Path' - Select your save directory.
4. In the main window select the right 'Game Slot' and 'Save File'.
5. Down the 'Edit' Menu select 'Edit Raw JSON' .
6. In the window that opens expand the tree item 'PlayerStateData' then click on 'MissionProgress' DO NOT EXPAND THIS ONE.
7. in the right panel press 'Ctrl-F' to search and look for 'SENTINELS_5'
8. Once it finds that there should be some text under that called 'Progress: ' and then a number, this represents the current step of the mission you're on. I changed the number to 37 and that should complete the mission.
9. Close the window and it will ask if you want to save changes, click yes.
10. Open the 'Exosuit' tab, right click a free inventory slot and click 'Add item'.
11. Search for 'Radiant Brain' and click 'save'.
12. Select the menu 'File' then 'Save'
13. Start your game and you should be on the next mission step.

I hope this works for you guys, I'm not too knowledgeable about this stuff but if you need help, I'll see what I can do.

Unfortunately it doesn't work, you probably get an item that I have to exchange in the event of the anomaly, but I don't have it in my inventory after changing the save file.
Nice try but unfortunately that didn't work

if you're at that stage you should have the item, although you could also add the "radiant brain" into your inventory using that same save editor, which should give you everything you need
