Stuck on Biomass Crane (NightVision bug)

[cakeulovesu]

Hey!
I'm at Biomass, at the part when i must control the crane. I've got the infamous bug where Artyom pulls his NightVision Goggles and i cant see the damned screen. I've been searching on the internet for half an hour now what i should do and i've seen a video where the person doesnt have the bug and when he has the crane over one of the rods the robotic voice says something like "Pulling the rods" but i cant get that voice line to pop, i only get "Contact Zone Reached".
I've also seen i'm close to the ending, i really want to know what happens, please help!

You hold M1 to pull out the rods once you get the "contact zone reached" message. There should be 3 in total, after which you can exit the crane on a small platform (not the one you started on!) in the top right.

Let your power run out from your mini generator beforehand and it won't power the nightvision goggles.
And it won't pull the rod unless you lower the arm after reaching the contact zone.
But looks like you got it from the comments.
If you ever reach a point where the night vision goggles are a problem, just let your power run out and they always switch off.

Finished btw, trial and error with night vision

I found out an easy fix in my case, which I hope will work for everyone else: After entering the crane, I did not move at all and waited for few minutes until the NVG battery ran out. The night vision turned off by itself after that, allowing me to see the crane operating screen and passed the level easily.

Hey! I would normally kill someone reviving such an old thread but it seems that this is a good idea, if i ever get the bug again i'll use your method, thanks :)
