GAME BREAKING BUG Underground Undercover Bug with Desdemona [Spoilers]

[ScareKrow]

My post is going to contain spoilers for the main questline in fallout 4.

So basically I have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to the point where Father at the institute has told me to kill Desdemona. I dont want to do this and I want to help the Railroad so I waited for Z1's friend to run up to me and warn me about the Brotherhood attack. The only problem I have now is when I try to warn Desdemona she just tells me that she is busy and wont speak to me. Can anyone help me please.

Edit: I still cant believe this hasn't been patched yet.

I've tried every suggested fix in this thread. Nothing made any difference. Only thing that worked was loading to a save before the Mass Fusion quest, where I hadn't taken out the prydwen and then replaying the game from there (without attacking the BoS until it was part of Precipice of War). Lame but it seems like the only sure fire fix.

ITS NOT A GLITCH.

Hey, so I just figured this out. All you have to do is select Undercover Underground as your mission, then walk around the institute for a while. A synth should aproach you shortly with a message from Z1. Then you may proceed.

Hope this helps. Though it happened while playing it on the Xbox 1.

youve gone too far in the institute line
the only bug is the one to talk to des isnt being failed or abandoned

It is definetly a bug, it literally says you can warn her and then you CAN'T warn her. That is a bug.

No update on this bug?

Haven't ♥♥♥♥♥♥ any responce for the bug report, i just stopped playing to wait for when i get my SSD, because my load screens and similar funtions are terrible (5400 RPM over here, it's bad). Hopefully the bug will be fixed through mods or bethesda by the time i can get it.

Doing this:

The solution MAY lie in manipulating the quest stages. I've not had any luck as of yet, and have tried several combinations. The closest I've come so far, is basically doing the following:

setStage rr201 1100
setStage rr302 5
setStage rr302 10
setStage rr302 50
setStage rr302 75
setStage rr302 90
setStage rr302 100
setStage rr302 110
setStage rr302 120
setStage rr302 200
setStage rr302 300
setStage rr302 400
setStage rr302 500

And then talk to Tinker Tom.

This basically skips the entire conversation with Desdemona and the subsequent attack.

It bugs out though, as Tom and Deacon go to wait inside an invisible Vertibird. If someone can mess around and help me find a solution to that problem, we may have a workaround.

at this point you must talk to tom and walk out of the church, then add:

movetoqt rr302

and you will be on the vertibird ready to mount ^^

So we miss the whole attack?
Aw man, not fair.I'll have to wait for modders to fix it

FWIW I thought my game was glitched, since I completed Mass Fusion but was never approached by a courser to continue Underground Undercover. (Glory is alive, Desdemona has nothing for me, BoS are my enemies but Danse is alive.) I decided to back the Institute just to finish out the game, and lo & behold when I completed Powering Up (after the Directorate meeting, where I committed to hitting the BoS hard) a synth found me to continue on with Underground Undercover. I have had UU as an active quest the entire time in my log.

So i had this same problem, I read on another form that if you go to the brotherhood gunship before this part you might glitch the game that is what i did. But if you just go through with the institute quest to activate the part to warn Desdemona it should work. I went back a save and didn't not go to the gunship and the quest worked fine for me hope this helps.

Same issue here. I can't warn Desdemona and the Underground Undercover quest is stuck.

BUT I FOUND A SOLUTION :)

I manually completed the "Underground Undercover" mission, in the console :
CompleteQuest RR201

Then I went in the Institude where a Synth told me to go talk to Z1-14. As I didn't have the cursor to find him, I teleported to him :
player.moveto 000d3cba

Then I went to the Railroad HQ to talk to Desdemona.

And then "Precipe Of War" quest started.

If it's not really the same bug as me, maybe you can try the "CompleteQuest" with others quest.
You can type "sqt" in the console to get your current Quest ID.

Hope it'll help.

It isn't bug, cause until you doesn't warn her the game thinks that you're still thinking kill her or warn her

Glad to see the problem is still there.

Happy new year to everybody !
