Geth in the Tunnels on Feros Bug has existed since 2008

If you are on Feros and on the "Geth in the Tunnels" mission where you must destroy the Geth Transmitter and you find that you cannot get the mission to progress then you most likely are using a Damage-over-Time Ammunition (Pyro, Chemical, etc) and just need to remove that. Hopefully you have a recent save game.

 

If the transmitter is destroyed by one of those 'effects' rather than by ammunition or explosion, it won't count and you cannot progress through the mission which means you cannot progress through the game.

 

For being one of the most reproducible and common game-breaking bugs, you think they would have caught this one on the remaster. You suck BioWare. 20 hours into the game to learn I'm screwed. First time in my life a game bug has made it 100% impossible to progress. First Anthem, now this. I will never buy another BioWare game as long as I live.

    I cannot say the bug doesnt exist or that Bioware aren't a bunch of incompetents.

    However, the Geth in the Tunnels assignment isn't part of the main quest. None of the geth in the tunnels/water/varren meat/power cell assignments are part of the main quest. You can safely take the elevator up to the skyway and proceed to exogeni hq without helping zhu's hope. It sucks to not help them but you aren't stuck on it, which is probably Bioware's reasoning for not fixing it.

    True, it's a side assignment, but that does not make this acceptable at all.

    We paid 60 bucks for glorified texture mods. You'd at least expect the actual dev team of the original games to clean up some annoying decade-old known mistakes along the way, especially if they flaunt "hundreds of bugs fixed" in their promo material.

    Also, in itself it may not a main quest - but it is part of a main planet's assignments. Fixing all the content on Feros, Noveria, Therum, Virmire and Ilos would have been the bare minimum. Yet everything that was bugged in the original, is bugged here.

    I didn't encounter this, but man that would be annoying as if I did.

    Defo one for the patch pile BW, how about some come in one of these threads from a community manager?  Seems a bit silent.
