SWTOR: KotFE - Chapter X Overwatch East Approach Map will not update
This bug prevents exploration of Zakul from being completable, and have now reset & replayed this chapter a total of 5 times without being able to resolve a workaround.
I have already completed the explansion in Story Mode once on a different character without being able to complete exploration of Zakul & the bug has reappeared in my Veteran Mode run through, I had not previously skipped anything on either the prior or this character "Xanixa" (Facesmasher Legacy) on the Darth Malgus server.
I have tried all of the following suggestions and I still cannot get the map for this area to update.
- The "Chapter I" Trick: The most reliable community fix involves starting Chapter I (The Hunt) of Knights of the Fallen Empire. Launch Chapter I and play through the initial intro scene until the tutorial alert pops up. Once that appears, you can safely exit the chapter and return to Chapter X; the Overwatch map should then update correctly.
- Reset the Phase: If you are currently inside the instance, leave the area. Right-click your character portrait, select Additional Commands > Phase > Reset Phase. This may clear the trigger error preventing the map update.
Refresh the Map UI: Sometimes the map is actually explored but the visual UI is stuck. Try repeatedly opening and closing the large map (default key M) after entering the area to force a refresh.
Check Mission Log Redundancy: Check if you have both Chapter X and Chapter XI active in your mission log simultaneously. This is a known symptom of the bug; if so, you may need to reset the Chapter X mission entirely from your log to fix the progression triggers.
Manual Exploration: Some players have reported success by using a mount to drive through every corner of the landing platforms and entrance, rather than walking, which can sometimes trigger the discovery where on-foot movement failed.
