Product: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug BD-1 disappearing at the start of a mission, to be gone forever.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start up the Asteroid Jail mission.
What happens when the bug occurs? BD-1 vanishes to never be seen again.
What do you expect to see? BD-1 to be there.
Just came to the mission where you're trapped on the asteroid, break out and fight in the arena.
It's scripted that you start without BD-1, but it would seem that my game bugged to the point where I never got BD-1 back, even if I was supposed to.
Through even more buggy work, I got through the elevator part and to the actual arena, still without BD-1 even if there's a quick dialogue piece where BD-1 speaks.
I tried all I could to possibly fix it. Die which solved the elevator part, reload my save, quit the game and reload my save, finish the arena without BD-1 and as a result finish the mission.
None of this made BD-1 come back, and now I'm on Kashyyyk without BD-1, practically making the game unplayable and unable to finish it. I can't heal, can't slice, can't overload and all the other functions of BD-1.
Pictures included showing both in-game pictures without BD-1 and in the customization menu.
All in all it kinda bummed me out to see it, since I very much enjoyed the game having played 10 hours straight in it with no issue.
I do however understand a newly released game can have bugs not known.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Exactly the same thing happened to me. BD1 completely disappeared after jail mission.
