'Cult Of Personality' Is bugged?

[Mop]

Put the scrambelers down, going up the to the mic, activate it aaand...

Nothing. The TV screens fizzle for a bit with static and then go blank. Done this multiple times. All npcs are saying how they feel different but the guy isn't coming on to chat.

Restarting doesn't do anything.

Bugged? It just isn't responding. I put a lot of effort into doing this the right way and I want to complete this with no kills so I can still do my nonlethal run.

Ok, getting caught by the cameras on purpose and letting them calm down fixed this. But I want the devs to be aware of this weird little missionbreaker and to provide a possible solution if anyone else has had this issue.

same happens here. Calmed down camera method seems doesn't work here...

[Bester]

Same here. Aggro'ing the camera and then letting it calm down didn't help...

[Grum]

Same happening to me. Also, I'm noticing that the turrets no longer fire at me even when I aggro the cameras.

I can't interact as expected, but the solution (SPOILER ALERT) to winning is:

Simply get into the back room with Richard (after having got the 3 round useless 'disruptors' in a previous mission. Then enter the room from the sewer, try not to die to Richard, knock him out or whataver. Then turn the power off on the Wall Panel. The rest is looting and maybe talking to the lost souls.

That's an alternative way to resolve the mission, but you won't get the achievement or extra XP.

This is true. I did this in my playthrough doing what i always do and clearing a map before moving on. The quest ended and i got the ghost bonus, but no achievement.

did you try the microphone in the middle of the room after installing the disruptors?

[Hoempel]

And actually installing the disruptors, took me a while to find the three emitters.

I broke the mission an entirely different way. I way earlier in my play through knocked out Luigo or whatever his name is. I didn't know about this mission at the time. Now I can't seem to progress in it at all anymore.

The guy at the door?
Lol, that's definitely on your end though, it sucks but you'll have to do it on another playthrough then I guess or load way back then.

Any fix for this? The camera trick TC mentioned also didn't work for me

[Schiwata]

the mic won't work for me.. its just static
i did hack the turrets first though in richard's room before i planted the disruptors XD

got it working now...
i just made him suspicious by turning his the TVs on his room on and off...
when i got back to the mic.. it worked now :D

I ended up playing thorugh this SM today and encountered the same problem as mentioned in this topic.

Specifically my problem was: After planting all three disruptors I could not participate in the debate with Richard despite the quest marker point to the mic. As others mentioned there was just a static hiss and no Richard on the screen. This was because I was detected by the turrets at some point.

My Solution: Reload the game to a point before you entered the area with the disruptors that you recieved from the magic shop. Enter the upper area to plant the transmitters and quickly autosave. The key here IS TO NOT GET DETECTED BY ANY TURRET. It seems that the game does not properly reset with PANIC and alarm as the static screen is probably reserved for a state of panic/alarm. Planting all three disruptors without detection and simply jumping down allowed for me to interact with the mic and get the achievement like normal.

Tips:
Not getting detected might seem difficult initially (with that one turret in a long hallway) but the best way to do it is to use the barrels and move up towards the turrets. Keep inching towards the disruptor planting locations carrying a barrel in front of you. When the turrent detection bar gets high, drop the barrel and allow for a cooldown. I did this without stealth augs but obviously those could be helpful and less tedious.

Hope my solution works well for others.

On a side note it's a bit dissapointing to see that a mission breaking bug was not patched this late after a release.

Guys, I seem to have found a possible fix that doesn't involve doing the mission all over again.

Leave the room and go take the subway to whatever district you want.
Then return to the district the mission is in and try again. It should work now.

At least it worked out for me.
You're welcome :)
