Mass Effect 3 Eclipse bug still there

Hey,

I'm currently playing through Mass Effect 3 for the first time and encountered a bug that - according to various threads in various forums - used to be pretty common and is supposedly fixed (at least for PS3 and X-Box):

While uniting the mercs for Aria, you have the option to make Eclipse's second-in-command (Sayn) the Eclipse leader. After speaking with him, you're apparently supposed to get a message when you enter the elevator.

However, I'm not getting any messages and I can't talk to him either. Talking to the C-Sec commander or Aria again also won't help and I don't have the option to talk to the imprisoned Eclipse leader again.

A lot of people who encountered this bug claim that this has something to do with saving the game at the wrong point. Unfortunately, I only realized later that the quest wasn't finished and can't easily load an old save-game without having to play through most of the game again.

Is anything like an official fix for this bug? Help would be much appreciated!

PS: I'm playing ME3 on my PC. System specs are unlikely to have anything to do with this issue, but if it helps, I'll gladly state them later.

    I'm not sure if this will help, but I can't remember getting the message in the elevator either. However, if you go to where Sayn is sitting in the loading bay with the refugees (Near Zaeed if you've recruited him)  you might be able to speak to him anyway. And if you have enough paragon points, still convince him to take control of the mercs...

    I'm having this issue, too. There's no prompt to talk to Sayn anymore after you convince him once (and the mission doesn't check off), and Bailey keeps asking you to check back with him after you talk to Sedaris (already done). Any ideas here would be great.

    After trying to promote the witless toady to Eclipse leader status I discovered nothing would advance the quest chain.

    This need sorting still... 

    ive recently bought the ME games and this is really winding me up. i have done everything else for ARIA and i just need to hand this bloody quest in!.

    there are HEX edits which can be done to the save file but this isn't always easy to achieve (i have not managed it yet).

    Sort it out EA / ORIGIN!

    This game is five years old and BioWare stopped supporting it four years ago.

    I believe this bug triggers if you talk to Sayn, save, then quit the game before reaching the elevator. Is this what happened here?
