Stop The Mechanist - Bugged

[MagicKoala]

So the lights went out and now nothing is happening? Am I suppose to do something?

same by me .....

Saving and quitting to desktop, then reloading fixed it for me. Try that if you haven't.

Yup just looked at a video, they're suppose to keep talking. If you noclip in there, they are all just frozen in place.

All I've had is bugs throughout this entire DLC. Total ♥♥♥♥.

What stabbykitteh said worked for me as well - I ran into that issue last night and stopped playing out of frustration. When I opened it today, it was working. So try that - closing the entire game and opening it again!

At the moment i found the mechanist it was ok, but i got killed and quicksaved just before, then nothing happenned, no conversation, so i got far enough from the mechanist while searching for ammo and it caused the fight to start, but missed the dialogue (nothing important though)

[MagicKoala]

What they said works - Thanks :P

Well it worked for me xD

Not working for me, he just stand here... throwing bomb and nothing happen. My last save is at the entrance, I'm pissed.

Have you closed and opened the game back up again? It seems to be working for most people and you don't even need an older save.

Yea I even tried to restart steam, I guess I will have load from the start of the mechanist's Lair, feelsbadman.

Ouch, I'm sorry that's happened to you dude :( I wish there was more I could do to help but unfortunately that's the only trick I know. I hope you manage to get back to the mechanist quickly at least.

My robot that was supposed to open the door to the mechanist has just dissappeared, cant find the f.......g thing. :(

[Venater]

if you still have problem, try this :
do not shot at the spotlights, and wait till the mechanist drop the robots from the "conveying rail" above after killing the robots, I got the conversation what I looked for :)

Only other solution would be to use the console and move forward in the quest. I tried leaving the compound, restarting the game, left the game and came back the next day. Nothing worked and I had to skip ahead in the quest. BTW, the quest ID for Restoring Order is dlc01mq05. Google fallout 4 console commands if you need more help. There is a full rundown on the fallout wiki.

got stuck toword the end of the fight no dialogue just more mines and fuel tanks. tcl to noclip to look around out of desperation and found that the last robot were stuck on the conveyor rail things. killed them and finally got to finish the quest. thoght i'd share just in case it helps someone.

I also had this happen the first time - I gathered (after playing through successfully with another character) that it's the script that wasn't functioning properly - the voice from Mechanist was playing as normal but the actions weren't carrying out - you have missed quite a lot of action too by the way, a fairly long section of the fight doesn't complete. Luckily reloading fixed whatever the problem with the script was, and I could complete it on my first run through.
