-SPOILER- "Cambridge Polymer Labs" Quest Fail Bug

[ixT csgolive.com]

I have successfully completed the Research Project, but still have the Quest showing "FAILED: Complete the Research Project." I have made and grabbed the power armor chest.
I've been unable to figure out the Quest ID to manually force quest progression, so I've been stuck for awhile now. I have tried commands like "sqt" in the console to find the Quest ID but without success. I hope you can help me to get the Quest ID!

I have the same problem

[Bearface]

Have you killed everything inside?

[ixT csgolive.com]

All done. It's a Bug! Can someone find out the Quest ID?

[SmashTheTV]

Yeah I completely did the quest.

If you unlock a door on some terminal, then the robot gets hostile and the quest fails.

[EDDr0p]

if you use the override in the terminal on the 2nd floor, to fake a attack to the lab , all doors unlock and the turrets go live and hostile to you, that make the quest fail. so ignore the option in the terminal, and make the chast plate, then go talk with the robot on the clean room window.

[SmashTheTV]

Yeah I know. But we all didn't do that, we finished the quest, got taken up to the director and completed the quest, it's only in the quest log where it says it was failed.

@SmashTheTV Bethesda confirmed this Bug. But they dont tell me the Quest ID.

[SmashTheTV]

Let me know if you hear anything otherwise will they fix it in patch?

Sorry to bring up this old thread.

I encountered this bug yesterday. I saw in my log a failed objective. I had two interesting save games:

1. While doing this quest (it started, had all materials, but didn't use them yet)
2. Before I first entered the building / before starting the Cambridge Polymer Labs Quest.

What I found out:

Neither finishing the quest in any order (with optional objective) nor with my "never entered the building before"-save solved this issue.
I ran in, speech-checked molly, captured the three mats, mixed them => It says you finished it + you get the armor, but missing the check in the log. When finishing the quest (Molly is talking to the dead boss) the quest state "Complete the research project" gets a failed-status.
I also tried some console commands to force the completion (quest-id: 000284bc). Brought no success.

Its pretty sad, because i´m some kind of a perfectionist, but Bethesda wants me to fail this part. :/
Maybe, there comes up a patch for this, but I want to continue the game, so I have to live with that shame. :-)

I got bored of Fallout 4 so no longer worried. Maybe will re-roll later in the year and will do this quest alot later as the armour is better the higher level you are.

[Cubi]

Okay, I solved it.
It was pretty easy, but the problem is, it seems you cant do it afterwards. (if the quest is already failed.)
(At least I tried to reset the quest + the command ahead, but it didn't work)

If you have a save before or while doing the quest, you can simply solve it with this command:

completeallobjectives 000284bc

Was not sure, but I waited with the command before Molly talked to the boss, so the last step "Follow Molly" is also checked with that.

By the way:
I also removed all the collected and non-needed material canisters out of my inventory, because they were quest-items. Forcing the completion of the quest skips the auto-remove and they can not be removed by the player. They are weightless, so this is not needed, but maybe annoying have them in the inventory.

You can remove them with this command:

player.removeitem base ID 1

Lists of mats:

11317 Hydrochloric Acid (base ID 0009bc88)
3111 Lithium Hydride (base ID 000a50f7)
413 Gallium (base ID 000a018c)
49 Cobalt (base ID 000a0190)
611 Gold (base ID 000a50f5)
65 Tungsten (base ID 000a018e)


Thanks Bethesda for forcing us to this, but I hope I could help someone...

wow this sht is not yet fixed

[kromwell_1]

Cubi, that worked for me. The point it fails is when you pick up the power armor piece (you just dont get the failure message until later) , so after i grabbed the power armor piece i used that console command and the quest progressed as it should have if it had not been bugged.

Kill Molly to get the directors key. Quest complete. Found it on youtube!!
