Beta Players: Where's the broken relay 428?

[Emmett Fitz-Hume]

To the players having beta access, did anyone find the broken relay 428 on the maintenance level? I'm not sure how to identify it as in the original game the relays had names when you aim at them, while here it's just stacks of those modules. I'm pretty sure I've checked more or less all of them in all four maintenance areas and couldn't find any that's different or reacts to actions. I've checked the map to see where it was in the original game again, but couldn't find anything there either. Thanks.

Never mind, went to check them all again, it was somewhere in alpha, somehow managed not to notice it as there was an assault rifle there on the floor which got my attention.

The broken module was darker and had its lights off, while there was a quite apparent ERROR message above it. Not sure how I missed it, but again, was probably focusing down on the assault rifle.

It's there, just keep looking. When you find it, the right-most green card will be visibly broken. Assuming you have a spare module in your inventory, just click it to replace it.

[Emmett Fitz-Hume]

Yeah, did that, thanks. BTW, I could only jettison the Beta grove and then I got an email about the next mission (antennas). The buttons for jettisoning the rest (Alpha and Delta) were not active for some reason. Perhaps as it's still a Beta?

[Retcon Rob]

I'm at the same exact spot right now. It's confusing that we only need to jettison one grove, but that's by design: the SHODAN audio log explaining how to jettison says we only need to pull a lever in one specific grove lounge.

I think mission would have been better if there was a programmatic way of finding out which relay it was. Maybe a numbering scheme of sorts, but that would kind of make the different areas pointless. Like Alpha were the 1xx relays, Beta was 2xxx etc. It would make sense but you would just gone to Delta for the 4xx relays, and not bother with Alpha/Beta/Gamma relay banks.

Gameplay opportunity missed there perhaps.

[Emmett Fitz-Hume]

I was thinking the same. Like, it could have been relay A28 instead of 428. Or I was kind of hoping to find a map somewhere with a layout of which relays were in which sector. But, perhaps then people wouldn't be enticed to check the other zones.

Anyway, I went to engineering and it's quite a maze of a level with a bunch of corridors and stairs with multiple levels. Of course, I forgot to bring a long the Z44 explosives which I keep in that elevator storage thingy. Does anyone know if there's a terminal somewhere on the engineering or I have to go back? Also, lost my paper where I kept the numbers next to the blown computer cores that I need for the authorization code. It will be interesting to rummage through the levels and try to remember where the cores were.

Please find all the bugs and performance issues with the game, so it can be released problem free in 2072.

Is the Soylent Green filter still there? I unfortunately wasn't a backer (though I did pre-order the GOG version) so I can't check myself.

I don't think the relays are given any names when you point over them in the remastered version, unfortunately.
Just managed to finish it. There was some bug on the Bridge level in the pre-last room where you need to enable the teleport to the cyberspace room. If you quick save there during combat and then reload, the charging progress screen gets messed up showing just one of the three stages and then the triggers don't continue most of the time so you're basically stuck there. Be sure to make a proper save before that room, at least in beta. Had to replay the whole bridge level because of that.

Cool game. Thanks for making it.

IN GAMMA QUAD there are 2 relays that do NOT connect to the rest of the walls so you miss them if you follow the walls, there are in the middle check there

♥♥♥♥ THIS. I spent several hours looking everywhere without luck.

And yet in all that time you didn't realize that the real relay 428 was the friends we made along the way.
