Feros companion problem

Just finished Feros and as soon as I started the Zhu sidequests in the ruins my companions stopped following me. They would stand in place cycling their idle animations and drawing/holstering when I did, even though I wasn't even close to them. If enemies were close they would fight normally without looking for cover. They would respawn next to me if I went too far from them but then continue standing in place. It got a little easier in the Thorian fight where I had one following me.

I did Feros after recruiting Liara and completing Noveria. My companions were Wrex and Liara. I play on PS4.

  • Happens to me too, also on Feros, i didn't do Noveria before that,

    just got Liara. Playing on PC (teammates Liara & Tali).

    It's absolutely insane how this went past beta testing, wasn't noted

    in any of the reviews i saw and on all of the internet, this is the only

    post i found about it. I have encountered 5-10 more bugs with half

    of them being severe - in 5 hours of gameplay. Like exiting the Mako

    and not being able to re-enter, thus not being able to leave the planet

    thus loosing all of your progress back to when the last save was.

    On Feros, the 3 Krograns (where you dispose of the Geth beacon)

    will merge into one and get stuck in a wall - which was good for

    me, since my allies were still stuck on the other end of the map

    where you kill the alpha warren and afterwards beamed themselves

    to Ian Newsteads position when i talked to him.

    I also geht some flash of what i think is an error message, but can't

    read it as it disappears after 1/10 second.

    I think for the rather small amount of improvements this game got

    over the original, the amount of bugs is rather high and the game

    is no fun to play if you're in constant fear of losing game progress

    due to these bugs. Not playing this until the next patch comes out

    and i told my friends to stay away for the time being.

    Hey so, you can still leave the planet if you open the map and select "Return to Normandy" I had to do that on Sharjila.

  • The more I hear about the PC version the grimmer my opinion on it becomes. I also had problems with the 3 Krogans, I would enter the room and exit, trying to get the companions back. When I returned the Krogans were standing in the hallway and didn't react to my pistol fire, resulting in easy clear.

    The game still needs so much work, as pretty as it looks.

  • @borizb Not only that - these are all issues that were already present in the base game. I specifically remember this bug from years ago.
  • I found that, after dying, my companions started acting properly again and responded to commands.

    But can confirm that I also had this issue. Liara and Kaidan, playing on PC.
