ME:LE stuck

Hi. I'm stuck in the squad selection screen. If I move forward and go to the mission, I can't finish it because I need to do Jacob's loyalty mission first. (I googled that much). But I can't get back to the Normandy. I have tried reloading the game and exiting the game. Neither of those options worked. I'm on PC. (Also can't click on the shuttle). If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Thaks.

  • What do you mean "you can't finish it because you need to do Jacob's loyalty mission first"?

    What is "it" that can't be finished in your statement?

  • @sunwisecircles 

    Are you perhaps reffering to Jacob's greyed out ability? Which is in the squad screen and requires his loyalty mission to be completed before you can use it.

    Regards to not being able to select things, I found that a quick save followed by quick load fixed this.

    If these aren't the problem, i'm sorry, your post isn't very clear. Perhaps if you can give me more details?

    @SofaJockeyUK On the planet Joab. Was meant to do Jacob's mission first to unlock Joab. I was mat grinding and, unfortunately landed. So, I can't finish that mission, can't get back on the shuttle and on reloading am back in the squad selection page. Thanks for answering

    @alcatorsk can't finish the mission on Joab. I can't get into the bunker. It's an archaeological site giving off odd readings. When I googled my problem, the sites said needed to have done J's loyalty mission first to unlock Joab.

    @Webb-sama No, no. Not his abilities. I can't complete the Joab mission. Apparently I need his loyalty mission to unlock this mission.

    This site says that the JOAB mission becomes available once you acquire (not complete!) Jacob's loyalty mission.

    https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/N7:_Archeological_Dig_Site

    There is no mention that you'd need to complete Jacob's loyalty mission to finish the mission. However, it does say that the location only opens when all enemies are defeated. Sometimes, an enemy may be hiding behind some cover relatively far from your position, preventing you from "finishing a fight".

    It doesn't make sense for completion of a side mission X to be dependent on you first finishing mission Y that is not directly linked to it. 

    Check again.

  • In addition to what AlcatorSK said, I have had enemies clip through walls a couple of times, or get thrown somewhere with a biotic power that they can't get back from. So if its waiting for all enemies to be removed and you can't find them all, this could be a possibility.

    Any inability to complete Joab has nothing to do with Jacob.

    A 'stuck' enemy may show up on your mini-map.

    Or you could simply re-load a save you made before going to Joab.
