Flashpoint needs to be reset bug?


Recommended Posts

We figured out following fix:

 

- Enter instance ungrouped

- Select reset phase option (while inside alone)

- The option should now disappear from the menu

- Exit instance (button above mini map)

 

Thank you so so much.

This bug continues to exist, and we are now in patch 5.0.

 

Special thanks to all of the people who contributed workarounds for this annoying problem. By now, the thread has generated the following information about the bug and its workarounds:

 

PROBLEM: Error message when attempting to enter a flashpoint. (Different instance of flashpoint or different level of flashpoint is already active.)

 

CAUSE: Abandoning a flashpoint mission while it is underway will apparently bug the flashpoint so that you cannot reset it properly.

 

SOLUTION:

 

(Solo Mode)

1. Enter the last flashpoint you were able to enter. (If your problem involves a change of difficulty level, pick the difficulty level you were using the last time you were inside the flashpoint.)

2. Right-click on your portrait and select "Reset all active phases." This resets everything except your current flashpoint because there are people (you) inside it. This will work out the bug on the side of the flashpoint phase.

3. Exit the flashpoint.

4. Go to your Mission Log and find the flashpoint mission. Select "Reset" from the mission options. This will work out the bug on the side of the flashpoint mission. (You may have to wait on the cooldown to reset the mission.)

5. If you have followed the previous steps properly, there is no longer any option to reset either the phase or the mission. That being true, it is time to abandon the flashpoint mission itself.

 

You should now be able to pick up the flashpoint mission and/or enter the flashpoint as though for the first time.

 

(Group Mode)

The group mode solution is similar to the solo mode fix except that you have two other things to consider. The first is that you don't know who in the group may be bugged. The second is that this bug will transfer to whomever becomes leader of the group. For those two reasons, a different approach may be used.

 

1. Identify who has the bug. This will be the person who has right-click-portrait-reset-phase option. Promote this person to Leader (if he or she is not already).

2. Someone else needs to create a new character.

3. The person with the bug invites that new character to group

4. Once that new (expendable) character has joined the group, the bugged leader passes leadership to that new character

5. Everyone leaves the group.

6. Verify that the "reset phase" option is missing from everyone except the new character. If so, then you have succeeded in transferring the bug to the new character.

7. Take great joy in deleting the now-bugged character with prejudice.

 

Everyone in your group should now be bug-free and ready to have fun.

If some else posted this fix then good for them, delete this file "DiskCacheArena" located in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic\swtor. This is my fallback fix for all problems, with instances. All group members have to do this. Edited by ufarax

Same Issue, we just can't go in Hammer Station, resettet everything, even canceled the mission and take the Quest again with all 4. Nothing works, GG BW :(

 

Seems like... my char can't go in this Instance, well...still fail.

 

 

Right click your portrait and then hover over phase then click reset all active flashpoints
