Re: ME1 Ilos MAKO bug

@sweetpoison0011 It is fundamentally not part of the game design of mass effect that you should restart the entire game if you make a mistake. That is not the intention of the developers, so it's a bug

    @sweetpoison0011 Hey, thanks for getting back to me, and sorry if I was a bit quick on the trigger there. I appreciate the help via PM, so thanks for taking the time

    99.9% of all of the other time you spend in the mako you're supposed to be able to exit and enter the vehicle, including on the trench run to visit Vigil the prothean VI..

    It sucks that it happened though but its part of the games mechanics, nothing else.

    Have you tried loading an autosave? Also i know in ME2 there's a "restart mission" save that you can run, try looking for that.

    Outside of that, i'm sorry mate but you're out of luck

    It isn't against the game design. That's why they have a hard save option. You should. Everyone should. Saving is part of the game. Not saving through the entire game so you have to replay it is, user error. Just because one does not like a fact, does not mean it is not a fact.

    For everyone with this problem playing on PC, there is a Mod on Nexus Mods that allows you to enable the in game console.

    With that you can summon the Mako.

    I just tested that and you can easily got by this barrier if you only try for a few seconds, at least on a PC. 

    I don’t have a save for the MELE at Vigil on ilos so I can`t test it there right now.

    I had a similar problem, so it obviously hasn't been addressed yet. 

    My mako bugged out of existence after landing. 

    Literally couldn't be found anywhere on the map around where the marker was. 

    I thought I could try to do the mission on foot since I was given no alternative. 

    Even reloading into the game didn't bring my mako back. 

    Needless to say, I failed horribly. 

    Such a long walk too. 

    The simplest solution would be to force the crew to spawn in the mako at least at the very end after the cutscene.

    That would be a completely different issue to the one discussed in this thread.

    What platform are you playing on?

    If you are on a PC try to repair the game.

    (Origin: Game Library > Right-click the game cover > Repair)
    (EA app: My Collection > Click on the three dots on the game cover > Repair)
    (Steam: Game Library > Right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.)

    Platform is xbox. 

    No fancy commands for me 😅

    I ended up losing a couple hours of Progress from my saves.
