The Other Side - Sphere Of Influence

The colour match game, I've restarted the mission already and the colour flashes do not show up. Is it a set thing or is it random? Anyone know the pattern because I can't get past this and its getting frustrating

Im having the same issue, i think its random as trial and error dosnt seem to get anywhere

Yeah I spent a good ten minutes. You keep pressing the same colour and eventually it's correct. So the patterns are 100% random. I saw a reddit post only 2 days ago with the same issue so it must be a recent bug for some reason. I really rather not skip it so I hope more attention comes in and they do a hot fix. Might not try restart until I know a fix has been implemented.

The latest patch on Tuesday broke it. I filed a ticket and they said it is a known issue.

The color pattern is completely random 3 digit for the first one and four digit on the second. I guessed the 3 digit within about five minutes, I spent thirty minutes on the four digit.

If you exit the quest at the console point he progress is saved to there.

Unless you need the quest for Delta Recruit then I advise just skipping it for later.

Yeah I realised it was random pretty quick. I've already skipped it for now, would just be great for the gear and all so I'll replay it later.

Well I did the next quest and the icons were showing so I went back to this one and my progress was no longer saved.

Still not fixed.

Yeah wherever I leave it makes me do the whole mission again. The whole thing is obviously out of whack

Well the other night I left and went right back in and it saved my progress.
When I tried last night everything was reset.

Other night was probably right before whatever update broke it hahahaha

Yepp, seems the symbol puzzle bug from a few years ago is back ... sadly my newer toon is stuck now in its progression until it's fixed again ... IF it is ever fixed ... you know how it works with Craptic ... So yeah, you can either waste hours by trying to guess the symbols or just wait until it's fixed - maybe they fix it with today's update, but I somehow doubt it ...

That said, it's not the only issue that turned up since last week's "update" - one of the Nimbus III missions ("Cleaning House") is suddenly shown in my journal again, but fun fact - that mission is just the final part of "The Undying" and thus not startable without it (it says to enter Nimbus space but all that happens when you do is that you enter Nimbus space in the multiplayer instance and that's it, no mission starts, no instance for it, nothing) - and yet Horace offers it to you (even after the whole Wasteland arc was done by my toon months ago - and guess what, I checked: he even offers it on Nimbus directly) ...

Not to mention that the journal glitches all over the place occassionally since the "update" (you start a mission or a mission update comes in and then the mission tracker at the right stays empty for a while) - also all my ships' loadouts occassionally get deactivated and the ships' slots end up empty when entering New Romulus space for example (also happened once when I started/entered a patrol - BAD timing) ...

Oh Craptic, why ... ? Imagine what happens in 2 weeks when they will come up with the new episode and the T6-X2 upgrades ... guess the game will face a total meltdown then!

I am also having the same problem, pretty annoying as I can't progress, also won't allow me to skip.

Go to Episode menu.
Go to the episode with the mission.
Then it should say "hail" and "skip."
Click skip and it will bypass the mission.

I would rather drop it than skip it - if you skip it you may lose useful special rewards and XP (not even sure if you can replay skipped missions later) - so better just drop it instead ...

Btw, a fleetie told me today that this is not the only bugged mission - the insufferable "The Vault" mission also suffers from a current glitch in the final act, where you can't finish the mission bcs the hail from your allied vessel doesn't trigger and thus you can't destroy the final enemy Warbird ...

Skip just allows you to move on in the episode journal, it doesn't interfere with you doing the mission in the future in any way.
