Noir Penthouse quest bugged

[⛧Kairos⛧]

The quest Early Retirement is bugged for me in that i cant listen to the "strange signal" because the channel plays nothing. anybody know a fix?

[Flippy]

To far away? I have not done the quest. I watched the beinning on Youtube and the guy had to travel to find the signal.

I do have the Noir Penthouse though. :) Will start it some time. I got the signal at Red Rocket but have not played since.

Starting new play through since the last ironman survival try ended in tragedy. :)

See ive had it tuned to the statin for a while now and walked all around from sanctuary all the way to swans lake and still havnt gotten a sound yet from the radio not sure what to do. i cant even find the quest ID to set stage to the next stage of the quest and skip the radio listening part.

It could be anything.

I would copy and paste the save folder from documents my games to be safe. Then start a new game and see if it works.

After that start looking at mods for the problem.

I had no problems and was starting a new play through anyway. The signal is on the radio at Red Rocket.

So now it gets weird, i used a character i dont mod on and the signal worked. so i disabled all my mods then go back on my modded character, and the station STILL doesnt work. Then i enable all mods, load another fresh save, and the signal works still, im at a loss now..

Its a mod. I have a crazy modded game but its a mod. Could be anything.

Some models crash the creation kit but not the game, just a bug. Some mods ruin Nuka World and even Vault 88 for no reason...

Its a massive and complex game and its amazing that it works basically bug free at all.

i got a mod from Nuka World i cant use until i get inside because of giant walls appearing out of no where in the Cola Cars.

I tried modding Vaullt 88 and it crashes the game for no reason.

Hopefully there is updates or something but wouldnt worry about it.

These are not complaints because of how complex the game is and how much can be done with no bugs at all. It is easily the most advanced game available. Good luck.

Yes, I had this issue too. Since you are asking on Steam, I assume you have the PC version. If you are on XboxOne or PS4, you're out of luck. Also, I am assuming you have no idea how to use the console, if you do then this can also work for those others looking for this problem that might not.

That said, save your game (just in case something goes wrong) then open the console (should be the ~ key left of the ESC key if you haven't remapped it) and type "help Early 4" without the quotations, it should return two items, the gun you get at the end of the quest and the quest itself. For me, the ID in parenthesis was 8000C27. So, it may or may not be the same for you, but then type "SetStage 8000C27 10" (or whatever your actual number is. Due to DLC install orders, sometimes the beginning digits can vary) without the quotations. This will force you past having to listen to the signal and the coordinates will pop up.

EDIT: An easier way I discovered (thanks to the Fallout Wiki) so you don't have to findout the quest ID is to use this command instead.

Nice this worked perfect. I wanted to do this but i could not for the life of me find the ID for the quest. Thanks for the fix. I just started a new save since i upgraded my PC and this quest being bugged really made me lose some steam for fallout 4 but now i can finally get to check this place out lol.

Ah, nice can you actually bypass the signal and go straight to the location? Never thought of that, though having the quest marker helps. I suck at finding stuff on my own.

[craigsters]

I use the cheat terminal mod that has that location set to go too!..

but there's still two more locations to go to after that first one, before completing the quest

well luckily it was just the signal for the coordinates that didnt work, i still wish to do the quest it was just that i was hung up on that one part because id play hours with the strange signal on and get radio silence lol.

I am also having a quest breaking bug, I did everything got the key went in to hub 360, And inside there is a marker but no door. No really sure what to do at this point. I have tried reinstalling but alas no sweet apartment for me I am open to suggestions

[Scoops Robin for DBD]

Hmm, do you have any mods installed that might be affecting the Hub 360 area? You might try loading a game with only Fallout 4 Official and Creation Club content loaded, just to see if there is a mod conflict. If there IS, then you just need to figure out which one.. if the door still isn't there, then, come back here. (Be sure to backup your saves so you don't mess any of your mods up if it resaves without them.)
