War assets still bugged in Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition

Is anyone else having issues with the war assets not showing up?

During the attican traverse: krogan team mission the aralakh company war asset is 75 points with a loyal grunt leading them, you lose 25 points If you saved the queen/breeder. But if you had grunt and he was loyal it was still worth 50 points after the loss. Now it just doesn’t show up, surely it’s bugged since it’d be strange to change it to one or the other, the whole series choice system is meant to benefit people who are thorough 

Also admiral Daro’Xen isn’t showing up in the war assets after I managed to achieve peace between the geth and quarians  (I didn’t test the other outcomes) that also doesn’t make sense, she survives the battle if peace is made

there was also a bug with the Aria T’Loak: blue suns mission where during the good ending you don’t get the updated war asset and so had to save. do the bad ending then reload the save and then do the good ending, fair enough that’s a solution but it’s a bit ridiculous that it has to be done to get the war assets.

these bugs are very annoying since they weren’t in the original trilogy and need to be fixed

    Perhaps they only manifest in this iteration because of the other subtle, and not so subtle changes to the game. When you make any changes, there’s no way to know what will be affected. I will, however agree with anyone who asks why these bugs weren’t caught by the QA Department. Some bugs seem to be platform specific, while others manifest across the board. You’d think that they’d had caught something. Ah well, this is the industry now, unfortunately 🤨

    The person from this post has also noticed that Daro'Xen didn't show up as she should. I'm playing through Legendary Edition's ME3 now, I'll update this post if I'm also missing the war assets you've described.

    Yeah, I've also encountered the issue that if the Rachni Queen is saved the Aralakh Company war asset disappears from the menu entirely. This was not the behavior in the original ME3, where it remained in the menu and a new entry was added describing the company's ultimate fate against the Rachni and leaving the +25 for Grunt leading Aralakh Company and the +25 if Grunt was loyal.

    It's possible that this change was intended, given that the bonus for Grunt leading Aralakh Company doesn't make sense if the company no longer exists. If that was the case though I'm not sure why they didn't simply adjust the amount that is subtracted when Aralakh Company is destroyed and leave the war asset entry in the menu, as now you can no longer read the extra description about the company's fate.

    Re: the Blue Suns war asset, that worked normally for me first try. According to this article from the wiki, it's a legacy bug that probably wasn't fixed. In any case I was standing still for a few seconds after talking to Kannik and I got the war asset and other rewards as normal.

    I've confirmed that the Admiral Daro'Xen war asset is missing on Xbox One, at least with peace between the Geth and Quarians (later confirmed she does not appear if the Geth are destroyed either). Completed Priority: Rannoch and under Quarian I had gained only the 3 war assets for their fleets, plus the earlier one for Admiral Zaal'Koris.

    In summary: the legendary edition added two apparent bugs with Admiral Daro'Xen and Aralakh Company war assets not appearing, and failed to resolve an existing bug from the original trilogy where the Terminus Fleet war asset is not updated with the Blue Suns entry
