[Bug]? Missing something? Empty/Incomplete Data Vaults (minor spoiler)

[Voidflakes]

I've just come across a data vault near the jumpgate in Holy Vision and repaired all the red boxes, which has opened up all but 3 of the cache doors. However, there are no more red boxes and the vault has not given any loot or data - this also means that the data vault has not been recorded in my mission log, or presumably for the related achievement. This is the 2nd or 3rd time this has happened now, I've also experienced issues with another data vault in Trinity Sanctum VII. I cannot hear any static noise from either vault which is why I believe they're bugged out. Both are the '2 panel' variety, not the '4 panel' type. I have savegames for both of these vaults.

To reiterate, on both data vaults I have repaired the 2 boxes on the middle of the structure, the 2 on the solar panels, and an additional box which was hidden inside one of the caches. Just now I've also gone back to the Trinity Sanctum data vault and found that a box on one of the solar panels won't even repair! It stays red with the "Data leak detected" message and ignores my repair laser. I have restarted the game and reloaded the saves several times, to no effect.

Is there an additional mechanic that I've overlooked? Are some of the data vaults red herrings? The mission to unlock the data vaults says there are 28 of them, and while I've not read the contents, that too states there are only 28 vaults - so presumably, all 28 vaults need to work in order to complete the mission.

having the same problems, not sure which sectors but have 3 or 4 now I cant open fully, one im on atm was bugged non fixing lock, which I quicksaved and reloaded...it worked then but the data signal was gone and all the doors wont open.

*{SPOILER Stop reading now if you dont want to know where it is]*

That's the one in Heretics End. I think it may also be my second go at that one, as I seem to recal trying it early in the game when I claimed the sector and it didnt work then either.

same here- second data vault that I found where some of the red "oxygen leak detected" panels won't switch status when hitting with repair laser.

Well it's safe to assume if you get at least one Anomaly and 1 Box out of the Vault you are done with it even if it still has closed doors, not every door must be openable.

Some Vaults have 2 Boxes, but that's all I have seen so far.

It's a bugger, eh? I've noticed that for some data vaults, the red panels appear to be permanently stuck, while a couple of others are 'fixed' if you exit and then boot the game again. The vaults that I'm talking about in my original post appear to be the type that are permanently stuck :/

Yeah that's kind of what I figured, I didn't necessarily expect every door to open, but as far as I'm aware ALL data vaults should contain a piece of data, which then gets added to your history timeline (that's what the Boron dude said he was interested in, just for reference). I'm not too fussed about the loot as it's usually stuff you can farm elsewhere :p But if the data is missing then that'll be an issue for completing the mission (and the achievement)!

I have one of these too. There is no static noise and I've repaired all the panels I can find. Will be interesting to see if it's a bug or not....

Have you already visited that particular vault before?

I'd found one previously where the leaks couldn't be repaired, no sound for the data either. It was all locked up, I used the spacesuit bombs to blast the repair panels and then it allowed me to repair them one by one but opening it all up had nothing inside. I just assumed I'd already raided it previously.

Nah, the one I found at Holy Vision was definitely 100% new to me, at the time I found it I had only travelled through the highway in that sector. I jumped through an anomaly into Xenon territory and took the scenic route back, which brought me out at a jumpgate in Holy Vision - in an area of the map which was still covered in Fog of War.

Cheers for the tip regarding the spacesuit bombs, I'll be sure to give that a try next time I find some iffy panels!
