Workaround for bug in Treasure trading station

risian4risian4 Member Posts: 3,711 Arc User
WORKAROUND from the German Forums!!!!

1. Go through the bar to the turbolift
2. Pause game
3. click on the turbolift and go down
4. resume game
5. Finish mission

Worked fine for all who tried.

This also worked for me (needed to add 10 characters lol)

    Thanks for the information pass-on.

    PS We have to wait 2 minutes between posts now?

    I received the accolade "Threadbare Trading Post" right after successfully using the turbolift in pause mode during a follow-up attempt. I did not receive this accolade on several failed earlier attempts.

    So, if you get the accolade after using the turbolift, you are likely on the right track :)

    We can pause the game? I had no idea that we could pause during episodes, how do we pause?

    This is great, you have no idea how many times I played through this mission, and they were all bugged out. This worked perfectly, got the accolade as soon as I went through the lift so I knew it worked. Finally finished it!

    (ya know, the devs could have fixed this problem, but at least there IS a workaround)

    A BIG Thank You! This mission and the XP it gives was preventing me from getting to Lvl 11 and continue the story arc. Thanks Again! :)

    Every time you are in a mission ground map (excluding stfs and social spaces eg ESD) there is a button on screen saying pause with a timer counting up to 45 seconds. If you're stuck, pres escape, rearrange HUD and look for the box that says low priority interaction, focus on that, press escape again and you should be looking right at it.

    To clarify: it's something like 'bullet time' in Max Payne; you can bank up to 45s (1s banked for every 5 or 6 that pass normally)... it's great for specificying targets for your team's attacks and abilities.

    Be sure to tell the Germans Danke Schoen for finding that odd fix.

    Never mind. Wayne Newton singing it is better. :)

    To pause the game, hit the "T" key.

    I had to dig through the game's keybinds to find it, internet search is worthless.

    It was under "Stop Time."

    I have a different problem. I get all the way to the end, kill the Klingons and the tracker says "Mission Complete".

    I return to sector space, and it says to continue "Roadblocks". Any ideas?

    That's what the workaround is for - you don't get the accolade for surviving the bar fight once you take the turbolift to the docking bay which is why the mission won't complete. Pausing it then clicking on the turbolift does allow you to get the accolade and then you can finish the mission normally.

    My question is, how many other missions did they bug by adding a Delta Recruit thingy into them?
    My main character is T'Les which was also my former forum name and I want it back! Hylarr is one of my alts.

    This fix worked for me as well. Luckily, there were people in Sector Space sharing the information. After I completed it, I shared with a few people too since the bug will likely be there for the entire week. :rolleyes:

    To those that don't know how to pause.. umm.. click on Pause Game. It's in the bottom right corner of every single mission you do. If for some reason you don't have it, press T.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    So far (I've just completed 'Taris' on my DR) I've only had problems with Treasure trading station and Everything old is new, the mission with doctor McCoy.

    I had to redo a large part of the mission there as well cause I ended up in the same sort of loop as in TTS.

    To prevent this from happening: make sure you hail your mission contact and claim your rewards before leaving the map, so, for this mission, right after your final conversation with McCoy.

    It may be wise to do this in all missions, if it happens in one mission it may (have) happen(ed) in other missions as well.

    Not sure if it was mentioned here too, but if you have a KDF Romulan, you need a KDF char team leader to get the Alpha mission.

    And could there be a one thread to point all of these little thingies in the PVE part?

    Did you click on "Use Turbolift" WHILE you were paused?
