    I know that Cronos Station is the point where your EMS value is locked in, but I'm not sure if installing the Extended Cut afterwards will affect the EMS requirement for the best ending. I'll look into this.

    Edit: I believe this tweet confirms that installing the Extended Cut after the Cerberus HQ mission does not lower the required EMS.

    "Also - If you replay (as suggested) from before the attack on Cerberus Base, I believe the required EMS is ~3100 to see all scenes." -Michael Gamble (Source)

    So in short, you should have installed the Extended Cut before attacking Cerberus HQ or you needed an EMS of 4000 instead of 3100.

Well after the game credits it dumped me just prior to the attack on Cerberus HQ. so maybe it’ll work now

I have no idea if this will work.

Don't you have a save game made before you hit Cronos station for the first time?

I do not have a save from before Cronos Station, but after all the credits the game put me to before the strike on the station. So if the prior replies are correct, the EMS score is locked after the strike. Maybe it’ll work next time I try. But it’ll be a bit before I try again because now I’m playing Far Cry 5... haha
