c0ax599 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I know you've all, most of you have heard, about the bug in "The Mechanist" quest. The MAIN quest of the dlc Automatron. Which I recently bought, Fallout 4 and all dlc's for $59.99. Why! Why is there still a bug, a well known bug in this dlc? It has kept me from playing the damn game for 2 days so far, thinking of what to do. I've heard All the supposed fixes. I had beat all the robots, and the Mechanist was just walking around doing not much. I tlc'd underneath the floor, oh wow there's a stuck robot!I thought i had it aced, well, after that, Mechanist said some stuff to me, and then he attacked again.. A small wave of robots, and grenades and lightning bolts.. And he's now stuck there! doing that constantly... No more hidden robots, i tried my best tlc'ing all around.. Nothing i can seem to do. I feel i got 4 options. tlc'ing thru to the elevator, riding it up, leaving the building, and just dealing with the quest hanging on my pipboy. :sad: I could replay the whole thing, not wanting to do that... But I might, god that was a Fight! I could reload a midfight save i got.. :\ Or I could reload a save at the door to the lair and repeat the fight... I already had Ada upgraded btw.. :\ And once i got in there i may have shot at the ceiling at the bots up there... I also threw grenades at the beginning of the fight. lol.. dam i did all the wrong things... Man this is maddening.. What a shame, a major game making company, that is really good in their game ideas etc, can fail so bad on execution. And worse, not fix the damn thing after 5 years. I still love ya Bethesda. BUT.............. sigh... c0AX599 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphorset Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 1) It's a BGS game, what do you expect? They don't fix major glaring bugs, they let the community deal with it.2) At least they are hopefully done with the forced Cretin Club updates that forces us to tread lightly around the Steam Update functionality, because the good people from F4SE need time to fix it again.3) Make sure you don't decap your FPS above 60. There's a lot going on during that fight and even if it doesn't come close to running at 60 FPS during the fight, it still glitches physics.

dixon80 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Had the same thing happen, the setstage 850 and tcl method as documented in the wiki can bail you out here. Note that tcl requires a focus on the player character (an empty prid will do to ensure that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperman35 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I haven't experienced the bug myself but I wonder if you might try console command KAH and see if that will allow you to progress. Not sure if KAH will kill the Mechanist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0ax599 Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 I guess I should have followed up to this post. I was able to finish the quest correctly, by using tcl to get through a door or two, and also the setstage console commands, and then the dialog with the Robotist went off without a hitch.. All doors opened that were supposed to, etc. So, to the above posters, that's a affirmative. ;) To anyone else: DDG to find the stage #'s for the quest..

piotrmil Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) Nothing works. She just keeps saying "more mines! More tesla coils!" How do I finish this without resetting entire fight?! INB4 find the tapes, yeah found them, and I need master perk to hack the terminal. Edit: nothing worked, had to reload entire damn fight Edited April 21, 2021 by piotrmil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't clean Nuka World or the central marketplace will bug with lots of invisible stuff, walls, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
