Alternatively @somtaawkhar made a summary I think. He may know who said it.
Arc Games, Atari, Perfect World, Cryptic and Core Technologies. All of them.
| Just so they are aware that it is broken and not working.
I get the map transfer failed error too.
Everyone who has Submitted a Ticket has been told it was fixed when they label it resolved.
I have worked on my own games as well. This is not that hard to fix.
Open the mission in the Dev kit. Replace the Missing Enterprise-C assett, or correct the faulty path the door is linked to.
Map Transfer Failed in the STO Engine means the ASSETT is missing/Path Incorrect. There is no map to transfer you. The whole it's a hardware issue is a copout. If it were then many more missions would be broken. They have not checked and don't care to because it does not affect the ZEN Sales.
When Cryptic labels things resolved that does not mean it is always resolved. Just that the ticket has been closed usually. Many years ago, resolved would most likely mean resolved. They are working on it and it is a harder fix on console than you think it is especially with the verification they have to go through with Sony and Microsoft. It is a hardware and memory issue and that is not a copout. Their own QA guy has stated that they are working on it.
There is 1 map transition issue, if its hardware its because the server that Map Asset is on it broken (trying to send you to an asset it does not see in its files). And I can understand that taking more than a few months to fix During the Pandemic. I was not even thinking about Corona when I vented. Its like this is the only Mission I have cant complete. Just hard to believe a hardware issue (if server side) is that hard to make a workaround, and if its client side why this is literally the ONLY transition its affecting.
Really just hope they aren't like then techs i used to work with. They always went straight to the hardest thing to fix instead of looking for a Simple answer.
Latest report on this issue from QA is as follows (taken from a twitch stream, located here - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/810190746)
Time stamp 14:00 - 16:00.
This issue is still high on their priority list. However, they have so far been unable to reproduce the issue internally. Which is the main hold-up in diagnosing and resolving the issue.
Here, for them to know, the exact steps:
Start the mission - I did this through the Mission Journal then going to the Azure Nebula
Follow the anomaly until you swap to the new timeline
Talk to Drake
Get Food
Talk to Richard
Talk to Yar
Talk to Drake again
Talk to the Andorian whose name I forgot
Wait for the distraction
Go through the maze
Kill the Tholians by making it hard to live
Take care of the web
Wait for everyone else to finish their tasks
Go to the ship
Take out the 3 force fields
Press X to "Board U.S.S. Enterprise-C"
Get "Map Transfer Failed" error
Once you have that, Return to your ship and try to re-enter the map, get the same error and stay stuck in Azure Nebula.
Try to log out and back in, redo the entire mission up to that same point. Get the same error.
Be unable to acquire the Ambassador class and complete the mission.
I did this on a PS4 Pro.
You guys have data corruption or deletion, plain and simple.

It is possible that this does not happen in a test environment, which would have to be the case in order to debug what is going on exactly. It is silly that it has been an issue for so long though.
But, honestly, I'm not that bothered by it. My only issue is that this one unrelated mission is a requirement for one or maybe even two trophies which, currently, cannot be attained on either console.
Only community managers are reading this forum, and they never transmit our demands to the official Star trek online support.
Proof a topic i created several years ago with a list of bugs, problems, and enhancement for the games, i stopped playing 2 years ago, returned 2 weeks ago and found the same bugs, problems (like on ESO), but I never got problem with Temporal ambassador years ago, the mission was buggy a bit, but not like this, we were able to complete it.
