Agreed. This is ridiculous.
I have: reported the bug, written multiple posts on this forum on multiple threads, sent a DM to the senior community manager - TC_Octus - , written multiple times to The Coalition and Fergusson himself on Twitter. No answer received, NOTHING. It’s been 10 days for me since I encountered the issue. I know I can restart the chapter and lose some progress but this is such an annoying and stupid bug… It shouldn’t be in the game in the first place! The way The Coalition is handling the situation is terrible and disappointing. I hope you or other people can make yourselves heard. Good luck! For now I’m giving up on this whole mess…
I gave up on waiting for a fix and restarted the whole Act 3 to avoid any other bug just in case. At the end for me it is just another excuse to play more Gears. And even if they do deploy a fix, so it doesn’t happen to new players, maybe our saves are already busted and cannot be fixed. So good luck to all.
Cant believe there hasn’t been atleast acknowledgment from the devs on this yet
Bump for a fix
Guys, I’ve managed to bypass this BS!
All you gotta do is restart the section when you need to collect the rocket parts and deliver it. Next, don’t rush to get the beacons, instead get to the mission with the train. ONLY AFTER THAT GO GRAB BEACONS. The rest will work just fine and the game will progress further on.
Still frustrating to start once again.
Yeah, same for me. ARGH! Probably I will switch to beginner mode an run through this section again, but this is so stupid.
Hmm, and just notives when restarting this section that I lost the shield capability from Jack. Damm!
Grrrr! Now I restarted this section. The game does not recognize I finished the 3 tasks for the water supply. fuuk
Also fell victim to this issue this evening. Hoping for a fix, or at least some acknowledgement that the team are aware of the problem and looking into a fix.
Ok just so you guys know its not bugged I completed that section last night. You have to leave the airfield and go straight you will get a message saying the convoy had been ambushed so go and do that bit then after completion head to the facility and say leave the desert this will then mean you have to go to the rocket and click button down on the console underneath the rocket then a snatcher will come then your ambush comes so kill them all then realign the rocket then you can leave via the rocket to the rocket platform then you have to attack the next boss which isnt so hard but there is a swarm that comes on the 3rd set of attacks. Complete this then youre done.
Hope this helps your attemps if not add me at HypaApril97 and I will try to help you complete it
good luck fellow gears 5 players
It IS bugged. I already did the airport and ambush missions. Nothing happens when I leave the airfield, nothing triggers when I reach the rocket launch facility… So I am stuck like all other people and The Coalition is doing nothing… Please, if you didn’t experience the issue do not claim that there is no issue…
When I left the airfield a did get an ambush mission, but then it just sent me to the rocket facility where I got stuck like everyone else.
This is still bugged.
I filed another help enquiry to try and get some kind of response.
Hey guys. I just did the turntable train mission. I tend to do all available side quest first before each main mission. Same process for every single game I’ve ever played. Naturally, I have this game breaking glitch. I wondered if I did somthing wrong. So a quick google search brought me here. Literally within 10 secinds Im here and see they have had this problem for months.
Welcome to the club, I suggest that you restart Act III and do the main missions in the ‘expected’ order. I feel TheCoalition is not fixing this bug anytime soon
There was definitely a design flaw/oversight by calling Act II and III “open free worlds” when the game still has sequential chapters within each. All they had to do was let Cosmo be locked until you needed it.
Same. I did exactly this, finishing Act 3 again took me around 2 to 3 hours, and I already finished the game. It’s not worth it to keep waiting on them fixing this bug, because it certainly seems like they have not intention to fix it in the near future.
Hey guys! Any solution to this issue? I had it today and i still cannot believe this kind of glitch can be published DAY 1 in an AAA game.
Someone did not his/her job here. This is a flaw in the level design in Act 3. An untolerable one if i may give my opinion. It’s been a month and still i has not being fixed.
Hope it gets fixed soon.
Thanks guys
Just had this same issue, tried to restart that chapter and go do it over even though ive already retrieved them. still didnt work, got caught in the first room because jack was not able to go through his access hole. The funny thing is that Paduk has dialogue for when you go up to the training facility before going to the get the rocket. he says something along the lines of, “I was going to have my scouts go pick up those beacons, but sense you’re there. go ahead and grab them.” If it’s supposed to be an open-world play the mission in whatever order you want to kinda act, then why are we hitting a bug where we cant proceed any further for doing a mission “out of order”?? Now i have to replay hours of content due to me doing missions apparently out of order…
A couple of days ago I received a mail from TC’s support team saying that they’re looking into the issue. Better late than never.
