Rexta Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) I have just gotten my ship of my agent and I can not complete Darth Zhorrid Arrives but when I attempt to use the holoterminal on my ship it just freezes up with watcher 2 starring at me and then nothing.... I have tried logging in out of game entirely but it makes no difference to my game. As things currently stand I can not proceed at all with the agents story. I have filed a bug report but as with all bug reports I not expecting a response Edited October 27, 2017 by CommunityDroidEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangenee Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Another Agent with an Alienware holoterminal. It's a long running bug I suffer with as well. CS and I have gotten quite the rap-ore due to this bug. Not everybody gets it these days due to having better hardware than you and I are running. Best thing to do is submit a ticket saying which character and which part you're stuck on. They're more than happy to nudge you on a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebamcfan Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Press esc-button, that should solve the issue (It has done with me several times on that particular mission) and you should be able to complete the mission after you can re-initialize the conversation on the holoterminal.

OwenBrooks Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Travel to another planet like quesh may help too before trying the terminal again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexta Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 I have made several attempts ie esc key then reclicking on the holoterminal and nothing but thanks for the suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangenee Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I have tried literally every workaround and nothing works for it. So far it's happened before and after Balmorra and likely to happen again from what I can tell. You might run into a similar issue post-voss on the SW story as well.

orangenee Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Like I said, ticket time. You seem to be trying to avoid it but in my case I have no other option. I've watched a lot of the Agent story on Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenBrooks Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Agree with orangenee , it is an old issue that some get and have never identified one fix only other thing i can think to try is switch to window mode , if that doesn't help then ticket to get them to move you forward is best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched a lot of the Agent story on Youtube. I have filed a ticket but given my past interactions with BW CS I am not holding my breath.

kodrac Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Another Agent with an Alienware holoterminal. It's probably got a cheap Dell power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally since this is an old bug well what can i say........ Yeah, you may have a wait. They'll get to it eventually. My personal best waiting time is 11 days. Shortest within 24 hours.

Andryah Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Yeah, you may have a wait. They'll get to it eventually. My personal best waiting time is 11 days. Shortest within 24 hours. You meant to say "worst" right? Happily I have not ever had to file a ticket during a major "flap". Flap = a time when there is some major bug that is triggering a lot of tickets, or people are just pissed off and filing frivolous tickets to slow down CS (yes.... people do do this.. and some even have bragged about it in the forum). My longest wait was I think 4 days, and that was for a stuck character (endless log in) that the studio had to be asked to solve, and it was Friday evening.... so clearly no studio activity until Monday. But the CS person responded within 24 hours to tell me the studio would need to do the move, and that they had put a request in for me to have them do so. Monday Afternoon.. I got a follow-up from the CS person again letting me know the character had been moved to fleet and to contact them if there was still a problem.

Andryah Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It's probably got a cheap Dell power supply. Definitely should have signed up for the extended warranty then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangenee Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Oh good news, Nar Shadarr seems to not have the bug. So there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamiSongheart Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) I had this happen on my agent at a different point in the questline. Tried every dang thing including a repair and nothing. The thing that worked, for me, was grouping with my husband's agent and going onto his ship and trying it. I have no idea why this would work, maybe grouping added some variable, or if it will ever work again but it's something to try while you're waiting the endless CS wait. Hope it gets fixed soon.

CobaltBleuDragon Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I used to get this bug on my laptop. I would log out and log in on my wife's computer and it would work. She had a better rig than I did. After I upgraded to a gaming desktop, I never had the problem again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangenee Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Further news, Tatooine is all good too. Hopefully it's just limited to Zhorrid and Balmorra. Sadly it means I have to do Alderaan now. I have a pathological hatred of Alderaan especially when playing a "nice" character. As a working class Brit I have a "thing" against any form of nobility. Bounty Hunter was fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think the ship droid is tinkering with stuff while the OP is away for their ship, and can't put &^%% back together properly afterwards. Maybe he needs a restraining bolt, or TWO.

orangenee Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) I spoke too soon about Tatooine, once again my Dell Holoterminal has a fault and now my agent is stuck in limbo for another fortnight. Guess it's back to the boring stories again. In fact it may be time for bitraider to go the way of ol' yeller. I hear somebody fixed this lovely persistent bug by killing that.

orangenee Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Time to put up some nanny cams I guess. It's a Dell engineer I've slighted in the past (true story) having his revenge. That guy did not enjoy his job that day. For some bizarre reason a bit of the scenes play if you turn off the AI. Not enough to spacebar through though.

Rexta Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) My Issue has been resolved by customer service completing the quest Darth Zhorrid Arrives. While i would not have preferred the 5 day wait for a reply and preferred a genuine fix to stop it from happening again things have been resolved positively.
