Me too, I just want them to acknowledge the issue and tell us they’re working on it…

I’m one of you! I’ve just encountered this, assumed it was because I completed the Cosmodrome before it actually wanted you to.
And no fix yet? Guess we wait for a TC rep to comment?

In same boat here. Can’t access airbase. Not going to replay. Don’t have enough time in my life to play games as is. Please fix.

I’m on chapter two, i’ve opened the gate but have stupidly gone exploring and have just gone down the lift at the cosmonaut facility and for some reason i felt i’d better check i haven’t done something in the wrong order and sure enough i’ve stumbled on this thread.
What’s the best way for me to proceed now as no fix or response seems to be coming from the developer? Anyone know?
Just to be clear i haven’t completed the cosmonaut facility yet and am not currently glitched but it seems i will be eventually!

Reload chapter 2 altogether, it’s paramount that you complete che cosmonaut facility AFTER the other main missions.

Urgh really. This has been quite a long chapter and i’m doing it on insane.
Can i not complete the cosmonaut bit i’m on. Complete the rest of chapter two then restart chapter two on an easier level, THEN carry on chapter 3 back at insane? Not sure if you know whether that will work.

As long as you start chapter 3 without completing the cosmonaut facility it should work. But still, I’m waiting for a fix and I cannot assure you that by doing so you’ll find no new bugs. That’s why we need The Coalition to acknowledge and explain the issue… I’m trying to be vocal about it but they are pretending collectibles are the only issue as for the single player campaign…

Thanks for the help. Going to try completing the cosmonaut bit, then complete chapter two so at least it registers i’ve done it on insane and should unlock chapter 3, then complete 2 again on an easier difficulty. Maybe on a different save slot as a test.

Considering its been 10 days since this issue got reported and there’s no dev response, chances are low it will get fixed soon.
And I replayed the chapter because it turns out u get a preassigned component amount when restarting.
But there was another issue, the last water pump sidemission could not be completed. (got bugged after picking up the upgrade, probably because I already had it unlocked)
Decided to skip it then, and I’m on act 4 with no problems so far.

@the-coalition guys seriously we get it the game is broken in so many areas and you are working fast and hard to fix them and that’s great and all, but we are all seeing fixes for the MP and collectibles ( i couldn’t give a flying duck anymore about them) while the majority of us what a campaign (that should really not have any bugs like this last this long) and try to enjoy a simple story like Gears 1-3 or Halo 1-3 (+ reach)

Other players reported the issue. I tried to ‘link’ all the different threads related to the bug and wrote about the issue on Twitter mentioning the team. For me… this whole situation feels wrong… I don’t know what I can do more and on their side no one is answering or replying to our messages…

To be honest i’m not sure if i’m going to fall foul of this or not. I have done the training facility during chapter two but yet to start chapter three. Will i reach a point in chapter three where i will not be able to progress because i’m being told to head to the cosmonaut facility then once i do i will not be able to complete it because i already have the beacon? Or could i ignore the message to head to the facility and progress the game
I was really enjoying this game but to be honest this has really ruined it. Not sure if i’m playing through to get to a point i can’t progress and lose skills / components / collectibles having to start again.
There is obviously a problem here so for the developer to ignore this is not on.

So i think i’ve managed to avoid the glitch. After completing the cosmonaut facility i carried on with chapter 2 but did NOT give the beacon to baird first. Then i did the final two parts of chapter 2 and went onto chapter 3, back to the airfield, then there was a bit to do in the city ruins, then i’ve been told to go to the same place as chapter 2 where i get the point of no return message.
Going to do some side stuff then try to proceed fingers crossed!

I had the same problem. I started the chapter manually . You know, going through the campain manu. The problem is that now the game treated this as if I had jumped the previous acts and chapters and I “lost” all my components, however, I still have my collectables and Jack’s upgrades and the game is treating this as if I had never gone to the training facility… strange, I also have 159 component points to use

Received an update on PC today. Still not fixed. What the heck?

I feel like we should just flood the boards with this issue until TC take note and either respond or fix this… it’s pretty game breaking and has clearly impacted a significant amount of people now.
Act 3 is broken until patched as far as i’m concerned, which means the Gears 5 campaign progression is broken.
TC please sort this out!

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.
