SEVERE mission blocking issue: "Crossroads at Crateris", halting ROM character progression

duncanidaho11

Problem: NPC Zden does not move to extraction in "Crossroads at Crateris" (Romulan intro arc mission). Mission cannot be completed. Slamek will move and extract. Zden will remain at his starting spot.

Repro: play "Crossroads at Crateris" to the escort Slamek and Zden objective.

Troubleshooting: restarted mission, attempted to vary how I played it (delayed proceeding to objective). Issue persisted.

Character; Etietsa@Gorgonops

VERY DELETERIOUS BUG: Crossroads cannot be skipped as its part of the Romulan intro arc. Thus, this bug prevents new Romulan characters from any progression. This is in need of an emergency fix. One of your factions cannot support new characters now.



Edit update: on my third try Zden and Slamek extracted. The only thing I did differently for this run is that I did *not* shoot the drone at the 2nd shuttle (which destroys it). That may be required for the mission now, representing an unintentional fail state.

I can confirm i've come across two things on my newest starfleet character. I can't continue with the Cardassian arc mission "Jabberwocky" when i try to talk to the Kai in the temple room after getting the orb from the mirror universe, and nothing i can't talk to her. The other is the Tal Shiar at the Satellite on Nimbus III and Tal Shiar Defender doesn't appear and it just keeps looping over and over again it's infinitely stuck atm. Maybe this explains the problems i'm having with joining TFOs with other players too it's somehow super limited, something is broke for sure.

There are now several missions like that, another one that comes to mind is step between stars.

The end part where you have to shut down the station, you need to literally go back to the last compartment to talk to Tuvok and the Dr. They literally get stuck in the wall just next to the door and do not follow at all.

Another area where people get delayed and stuck is on Colluseum, if you sprint too fast to get thru the canyon, the reman following you gets stuck and you have to go back and get him cause you need to talk to him in order to proceed.

the above two problems have been there since well into last year if not longer.

After you beam down to Bajor, you need to talk with Krin before placing the Orb on the Altar.
However, she is behind a desk and sitting quite a bit back from it. I find you need to get behind the desk with her or stand on the desk before the Interact prompt appears.
When playing on Consoles, it helps to target her with the reticle, or hold down the Command Menu button ('X' on PS4) and the prompt appears at the top of the menu.

Tuvok and Cooper can definitely get stuck on some parts of the map - especially if you stray too far from them.

That's the very end of the mission, and you're all in the same room anyway. Do you mean the part before the space walk? I find Cooper often 'sticks' elsewhere in the station.

Slamek is tired and injured. He is scripted to stop a few times in the desert and you need to get him moving again. This is WAI.

Yep! thank you standing on the table i can now see the dialog above Krin's head, never seen it do that before though i could just stand behind the table and talk to her.
