Chapter 10 Objective Bug

I am playing on the PS5 and I ran into a bug. After escaping the Hunter from the Nexus Hub, my objective changed to one that is written in Unitology writing. I continue through the game and I destroy all of the tendrils but the objective never changed. I went into the room after where a cut scene was supposed to happen but nothing happens.I checked a walkthrough video and the objective should have changed to "destroy the tendrils" before taking the lift down from the Mess Hall. Due to this issue, I cannot progress any further. I have one manual save and the autosaves happened later on so they do not bring me back before entering the Nexus. My playthrough is ruined.

A game breaking bug like this makes me want to fight for a refund.

Thoughts EA/Motive?

  • They fixed it but it's a little wonky. To change the objective from the Scientologist writing to the next, back track towards the Central Nexus until it changes. Then progress through the Standard Quarters even though the first tendril is destroyed, then back track to the Central Nexus. Allow the door to close before going back into the Crew Quarters and the objective will change. Go to the Crew Quarters and open the first door which will then complete the objective. Do the same for the Executive Quarters and then you can go to the Steward's Quarters to continue the story. Thanks EA/Motive!

  • I have this exact same problem too. I was able to advanced without the objective changing. But now I can't advanced since Kyne won't show up in the Inquiry Desk room. There is suppose to be a cutscene there and after that, the door will open to continue the game. I don't know what to do and the thought of having to start over really kills the joy for me to play this game...

    Having a similar issue where Mercer and the hunter never showed up in the cutscene and now the glass broken by the hunter has reappeared, preventing me from going to Mercer’s quarters. Stuck on objective “Find the Crew Deck Key”. PS5.

  • I’m stuck on the same sequence in Chapter 10, I destroyed all the tendrils but the cutscene involving Dr. Kyne won’t load. I tried to double back and see if I missed any tendrils, resorting the youtube as a last option and all of them were destroyed. I don’t even feel like playing thru over again as this is my first play thru, but it’s ruining my experience. Please issue a credit to us. I pre ordered this game and shouldn’t have to be aggravated like this.

  • EA is pissing me off and elementary with making the ability to report bugs like this, simple.  I have the EXACT same issue and can't get anyone to help me, so how was yours fixed?
