Can't complete the The Electric Fling.

I can't turn in the phonographs to Georgie's automech.

This is a known bug. My guess is that you have DLC #2 (Murder on Eridonas) installed.

Consensus is that if you had tried 'The Electric Fling' before you installed DLC #2 then it would have worked fine - that something in the DLC #2 install broke this DLC #1 side quest.

I've been waiting for a fix but not sure there is one coming. You can complete the side quest by handing the recordings to Roscoe, but I would have preferred to give them to the automech for a couple of reasons.

yeah this one is glitched. i think it's funny that you can kick the automech but nothing works is the equivalent of filling out a ticket with Obsidian hoping they'll fix it.

Just give it to Roscoe, man -- he needs it to go back home anyway. NVTUR is Auntie Cleo's Spy.

What reasons are those?

See spoiler below

Just personal reasons. The reward gear seemed better, but to be honest at this point I'm so geared up I'm not that bothered with either. To be honest Roscoe didn't seem to need the help - he was safe, free place to live and free food and drink. And my rep with all the others is high but a little low with Auntie Cleo so could use the boost.[/quote]

Cool, thanks.

I see reddit posts about this problem from 6 months ago that im also experiencing right now. I doubt the devs have any thought to fix it anymore.

I suspect you are right. It was introduced by the Murder on Eridanos DLC so I had hoped that there would be a patch to fix issues with that DLC and 'The Electric Fling' would get fixed at the same time. But as you say it is 4 months now so I doubt they are going to fix it - especially as I understand it has been sold to Microsoft.

A full 2 years later and it's still bugged

[Arauto Kagnos]

Just experienced this bug myself, can't deliver it to the droid no matter what I do.

Just an update.

I'd read suggestions that the problem was introduced by a combination of the Murder on Eridonas DLC and visiting the NVTUR before attempting to deliver the recording.

It is very natural that you visit the robot early in the Gorgon DLC because it is very close to where you land and is in a room with an unlocked door.

To test this I have just gone back to replay the Gorgon DLC, this time avoiding all contact with the NVTUR until it is time to hand over the recording - NOPE, makes no difference.

The idea that the bug is caused by visiting NVTUR early is absolutely not true, the bug is caused entirely by the installation of the Murder on Eridonas DLC so if you have done that there is nothing that can be done other than complete the quest with the Rosco e ending.

This is also busted in the Spacer's Choice edition

That must've taken a bit of time to do, thanks for doing the legwork.

This quest also seems to be bugged in the Spacer's Choice version of this game, unless having the flaws that makes you afraid of automotons stops you from completing it.

I can confirm that not talking to NVTUR before picking up the phonographs does absolutely nothing to resolve this issue.
