"Crossroads at Crateris" bug

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
So, is anyone else having the problem where the NPC Slamek is supposed to follow you, but doesn't, which means you can't continue the mission? It's plagued me for seven months now, during which I have switched to a new computer. Also, it's affected three characters on both the Holodeck and Tribble servers, which tells me this isn't just a "me" error. I've reported this several times now to Cryptic and have either gotten uesless tips that I've already tried, or the one guy who tried to suggest it was my Window 10 system, and there was also the guy who completely misunderstood everything I was trying to tell them. Oh what joy. Anyway, I just want to see who all is having the problem so I can use that info to supplement my next "chat with the customer support" session.

    Yes. I always like to talk to NPCs anyway

    I have never seen this. Maybe you aren't killing every enemy? IIRC, you can't skip the one that destroys the shuttle. I'll go through it later and see if I can make it fail.

    [Edit] I successfully got him to not follow you, but to do so I had to kill absolutely nothing. If you don't kill the creatures surrounding him when you first get there, you can seemingly continue the mission as normal, but he never goes to Z'Den, and can never get on the shuttle. But as long as I killed the Elachi that were around him when you first get there, you don't have to bother even killing the waves that spawn while he's working on (or sabotaging?) the console (although Veril will do her best regardless). If you make sure that the area is safe and that he's no longer cowering before you talk to him, I can't see where the mission could go wrong.

    I don't usually kill the ones that are there when I first get there, but I'm going to try this as a fix. I certainly hope it works.

    EDIT: Thank you. This actually solved my problem. Now, Cryptic and I don't need to go around the rodeo anymore.
