@DanieruSempai In old ME3 she always showed up. If she doesn't show up in LE then that's yet another new bug.

@Psychotps  No, that's definitely always how it was for me. She never showed up in ME3 unless our relationship was strong enough that she would feed my fish.

@Fred_vdpStrange. I've played it more times than I can count and I've NEVER had her not show up. I've romanced her a few times but mostly I don't. She's still always showed up. Have no idea why yours didn't.

Anyway, I'm coming up on Miranda's mission. Just have to do Thessia first. I've actually never had her die in a normal play without a broken mod. If she dies in mine, that's a new bug. However I might be able to fix it with the save editor. I think I know the problem. Not long ago, the Project Variety mod had a bug that caused that exact problem. The fix it setting a certain bool value in the save editor. I'll see this afternoon if there's a new Miranda bug or not.

The Wiki says that having dinner with her is a prerequisite. Maybe your game was bugged. 😛

Well, there's no "Miranda Dies" bug.

I just finished Horizon and my Miranda didn't die. If others had her die, then they just missed something.

I did notice before I met with Miranda on the Presidium, I never got the email from her asking to meet there... I met with her fine though because I already knew I was supposed to meet her. If the newbs didn't know about it and never got the email... she'd die without you ever knowing why.

There obviously is a bug, because at list two guys here wrote that they did exactly same things they did in original ME3 and they still got Miranda dead nevertheless...

Did anyone find out about possible fixes to the issue? Also caught it ☹️

@KowaseruKurueru Did you meet Miranda in the apartment on the Citadel where she talks about the control chip?

I don't recall receiving the in-game mail to meet her there, so I'm curious if the bug is that players aren't informed about the final step of the side quest. I did meet her there, because she was indicated on the map, and she survived my playthrough.

@KowaseruKurueru 

There are only 3 reports about this issue and the game is out for over 6 weeks.

So while it is possible that there is a glitch in your game, there is almost certainly no bug.

Here are the things you must do or avoid to do if you want her to survive.

In addition, you must also meet her all three times it is possible on the Citable.

@Fred_vdp I've met Miranda in the apartment and we had conversation about the chip. I just checked in-game - I also did not receive email from here to meet there, I just noticed her on map as you did and went there.

@holger1405 I did everything due to these statements, except that I missed her first meeting on the Citadel.
But I did just the same steps during my both playthroughs of original ME3 several years ago, and she survived.

I googled some old themes from original ME3, and several guys also had this issue. Some of them stated that certain "checks" in their save files were incorrect, and they managed to fix this by changing some debug lines in save editor.

@KowaseruKurueru 

Afaik the first meeting is a must have event. 
If you missed it you will not be able to save her. 

I don’t know if the MELE save editor has the necessary flags to change to make it work and I am mobile itm so I can’t check. But you could of course try. 

Then how come @Lasadon and @DanieruSempai say that they've met Miranda all 3 times and also have her dying?

@KowaseruKurueru 

It could be that they missed other events or that the necessary flags were not set for some unknown reason.

It really doesn't matter for your problem though.

If you missed the first meeting on the Citadel you missed a critical event in the chain and that is the reason she did not survive in your playthrough.

@holger1405 you were right - I downloaded save editor - and made a change as if I met Miranda the first time on Citadel, loaded back into the mission and she was alive in the end.

For anyone who wants to change it as well, here is the link.

If you had the same case as I did - didn't meet Miranda the first time in Docking Bay:
-Open desired save in save editor
-Go to Plot --> Missions --> Priority: Citadel 1

-Tick the box [Miranda] met her at Docking Bay D24

-Save the file

-Launch the game and load this save and Miranda will stay alive in the end of Horizon mission

@KowaseruKurueru 

Glad to hear that you got it fixed. 🙂

Have fun gaming.
