BUG REPORT - Bonus Powers (missing Catching Up achievement - PC Steam)

As title description says - the removal of the Lair of the Shadow Broker Catching Up achievement from Steam has made Liara's Stasis power unobtainable.

In addition to that, Flashbang & Inferno Grenade are not choosable from the character creation screen (but they are on the Advanced Powers screen)

    Following this as having the same issue. I guess it is universal at this point.

  • Yeah they really should have done a workaround as this happens on the console versions as well and we can no longer transfer that bonus power to ME3.

    Same in ME1LE, bonus power not showing up in UI, so cannot be used in combat.
    Games are riddled with bugs, so much infact, that i'm thinking of playing the original games instead of the Legendary Edition.
    Got crashes, missing bonus powers, mouse and keyboard temporary unresponsiveness, teleporting NPC's vanishing right before my eyes and more.
    The code is all messed up, and fixes aren't coming fast enough for me..

  • This issue is caused by them renumbering and enumerating the Achievements in Legendary Edition, but forgetting to update the Unlock Condition to use the new AchievementID instead of the old one.

    Specifically, in ME2\BioGame\DLC\DLC_EXP_Part01\BioUI.ini you need to find the [SFXGameContent.SFXGameChoiceGUIData_HenchmenPowers] header, and replace the line

    +HenchmanPowerArray=(PowerClassName="SFXGameContentLiara.SFXPower_StasisNew",ChoiceEntry=(srChoiceName=127059,srChoiceTitle=127059,oChoiceImage=none,srChoiceImageTitle=127059,srChoiceDescription=365834),AchievementID=56,PowerImage="SB_Codex_Images.Stasis_512")

    with

    +HenchmanPowerArray=(PowerClassName="SFXGameContentLiara.SFXPower_StasisNew",ChoiceEntry=(srChoiceName=127059,srChoiceTitle=127059,oChoiceImage=none,srChoiceImageTitle=127059,srChoiceDescription=365834),AchievementID=ACHIEVEMENT_43_DLC7_BROKERDEFEAT,PowerImage="SB_Codex_Images.Stasis_512")

    i.e. change AchievementID=56 to AchievementID=ACHIEVEMENT_43_DLC7_BROKERDEFEAT

    The reason that the Bonus Talents are not available for new characters is because the BioGuiResources.ini file was removed from the Kasumi DLC (this enabled the Inferno Grenade and Flashbang Grenade Bonus Talents for New Characters, but not Stasis)

    There is a bug-fix Mod on NexusMods that will make Stasis available from Advanced Training, and also make all 3 DLC Bonus Powers available for New Characters, if you have unlocked them.
