Stuck on Malachor V with Bao's remote

Recommended Posts

Okay, so I got to Malachor V, and I'm currently at the Mass Shadow Generator sequence with the remote. After I went to all 4 consoles, Bao's hologram pops up, saying that I did everything, etc, etc, and then... nothing happens. The remote stands there in the cutscene for a couple of seconds, Goto doesn't come in and the cutscene ends and I'm still with the remote and the quest is saying that I have one more generator to go, although I did all 4 of them. I guess it's a bug, but it's a real game crashing one. :(
Every mod I've installed, I checked it first to make sure that they are compatible with TSLRCM. So I have no idea what could be wrong. I've Googled it, and didn't found anything, regarding this issue. I've tried reloading a previous save, where I start Malachor, but nothing. I also checked the TSLRCM troubleshooting posted here, but didn't found anything, regarding this. Everything's been fine all the way through from the beginning of the game, and I was glad that there wasn't even a slight bug to interrupt my gameplay. Finally got to Malachor V and I was looking forward to finally finish the game after a long time, again, and the game is flipping me the bird, every time here, no matter what I do. :(

Here's the video of it. Is there a way to solve or skip this? Just please, don't tell me I have to re-install the game....... again. :P

Go to the TSLRCM section and put the questions from the "READ ME SECOND" thread and your answers to them in this thread.

Oh, alright...

1) During the game, when did the problem begin to occur?
- On Malachor V, when you take control of Bao-Dur's remote and trying to activate the Mass Shadow Generator, using the consoles scattered throughout the area.
After activating the last console, the cutscene, where Bao-Dur tells you that you did everything, you served well, etc. starts, and after that G0T0 supposed to come in.
Instead, G0T0 doesn't come in and the conversation with him isn't starting. Therefore the game ends the cutscene and I get stuck, wtill controlling the remote and G0T0 just standing outside, unresponsive to anything.


2) Did you install the latest version of the mod? (1.8.3b and 1.1b respectively)
- Indeed, I did.

3) What version of the game do you have? (Steam, GOG, 4CD, KotOR Collection?) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version?
- I have KotOR Collection.

4) Did you update your game as required by your game's region? (4-CD version ONLY)
///

5) Did you install this over the previous version(s), or did you perform a fresh installation as required by the TSLRCM's read-me file?
- I have performed a fresh installation.

6) What other mods have you installed? Please give an accurate list and provide links to each of these mods - even if they are found on this site. (We don't actually know them all!)
- Wow, pff, well let's see, uh...   TSLRCM 1.8.3B

I believe that's all.

7) Can you be more specific about the error? At what point did it happen?
- When I activated the last console with Bao's remote on Malachor V.

8) Have you tried re-downloading/re-installing the mod?
- Yes, I tried.

9) Have you tried using a different save game?
- Yes.

10) Have you tried starting a new game?
- After the problem, no.

11) What Operating System do you use? (List Virtual Machines as well if you are using them.)
- I am using Windows 8.1 32-Bit.

12) Can you confirm that you see the TSLRCM logo on the the main menu screen?
-Yes, I can.

I've never used the mod up to that point of the game, but I'm thinking that the G0-T0 overhaul mod may be the culprit here. If not that, than it's either the NPC overhaul mod or the movement animation mod.

Try finding a way to remove the G0-T0 overhaul mod, than restart Malachor.

No can do. :S
I was suspecting that the G0t0 overhaul was the problem, too. But unfortunately I was so confident in the compatibility and good behavior of the mods I downloaded, that after a while, I found it unnecessary to keep the backup files, mainly cause everything was fine from the beginning right to that point. And the un-installation of the G0t0 overhaul mod requires them, as many others, cause if I just delete the modded files, then the game would be extremely unstable..... I hate where this is going.....

*taking a deep breath*

Perhaps I uh... should re-install the whole game... again... dammit.  :wallbash: 

But if I wanna look at the bright side, I've learned something yet again. Always keep your backups, no matter what, cause disaster can still strike, even when you believe that it absolutely can't.

I fail to see, how the NPC overhaul or the animation fix could be suspected to cause this, however...
If I understand correctly, the problem is, that the dialogue isn't starting, and if I'm correct, none of the above two are modifying dialogue files. But if I remember correctly, G0t0 overhaul does modify dialogue files, so it might be that mod which causes the bug, indeed. If yes, then still I have to re-install the game, bah... :(

Then I have to do without. Shame. That mod made G0t0 look a LOT better and a lot more useful. :(
But I think I should make sure that it is the one causing it a hundred percent. Gonna re-install the game, and install only TSLRCM and G0t0 and if the bug persists, then it is. If not, then it's some other mod. Fortunately, I kept my save game, and since I'm with the remote, I doubt it'll crash because of some missing mods and such... I hope.

Tested it on a fresh install with only TSLRCM and nothing more... Unfortunately that mod is the culprit. Gonna let Darth know about this now.

It seems that way, though a bit starnge, to be honest. Still, I've tested it and I got the bug, then I uninstalled the mod and it got fixed. G0T0 came in, and the dialogue was going.

UPDATE (cause, I don't wanna spam much):

- Having a talk with Darth_Sapiens. He suggested, I should try the mod, but without the g0t0.dlg file. We'll see what happens.

RESULT:

- Didn't work, the bug came back.

Hmm.. Looks like we'll have to find where the bug is in the G0T0 mod, as I too find it invaluable to my gameplay.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous...
Finally, I got through the cut-scene after activating the 4 consoles. G0t0 came in, then HK arrived, saw the movie where the Ebon Hawk fell from the cliff.... but aaahhh..... Malachor V is a dark and punishing place, indeed and likes to put obstacles between you and your adventures in a technical way. Such as not a stuck, oh no, it brought out that gun before, but instead a nice crash every time, after you see the Ebon Hawk fall down the cliff!  :realmad:  

The crash came so immediately after Bao's remote section, that I don't even have to fill another bug/glitch report form, or change the topic's name, cause it came right after that. *sigh* God...

Anyway, if you can bear with me for a while longer... The bug came after I've activated all 4 consoles with Bao's remote. HK came, killed "that one", cutscene with the Ebon Hawk falling down the cliff and crash. Every time. What the hell? :(
I'm using the same mods, listed above, except, of course, the G0t0 Overhaul.

Probably missing stuff, it's not uncommon for savegames to crash after removing big mods that were still in use, equipped by people in your team for example.

 

And I suspect the error with the Goto-mod to be related to the size and placement of the opening into the crashed ship, which might be floated above but not properly walked by non-controlled characters, not any dialogue-file.

Oh, I see... I'll start a new game, then. And this save shall be deleted.

I made sure that every backup file is saved and I'll never delete them. :D

I'm pretty sure that there won't be any game-breaking things in this playthrough, though.

 

Thank you all for your time and helpful advice and thoughts. Malachor V remote issue, solved. Case closed. :D

 

Except for the G0T0 mod itself, and I'm still wondering, what could be the problem...

I can't, I've deleted it a while ago.

But you could get to that point, where the bug appears, by installing TSLRCM 1.8.3B and the overhaul and getting the savegame pack, Sith Holocron mentioned, and select a save where you're at Malachor V with the remote or a save on Mal V close to that part.

i am having this issue 9 years later and it's enraging. what i don't understand is, I've finished this game before, with TSLRCM, and not had a broken game at malachor. i don't know why it's happening. I don't even get a cut scene - i get to thr fourth console,they claim the mass shadow generator is optional, but the "notes" log still says i have found the third and have one to go.

Are you running any other mods?
