I May have fixed the Stuck between Mission 7/8 Problem

[anyawow]

And another!

[Michael Mc Alea]

Am stuck too...

[Lesardah]

Tack my name to the growing list of problems. I bought the game right when it came out, so I have been unable to play for almost a month now, thanks to this.

My play style is to complete the plot, then enjoy the finer points of the game. I shouldn't be forced into a different play style if the game is to be considered open ended.

I'm stuck at this point too!!

Miria jumps back and sits near the North gate which according to these message boards and lots of online references is the plot killing bug.

Is Egosoft actually going to fix this - what sloppy, sloppy, sloppy developers these guys are..

Bah.

Try reading the sticky threads.

Try reading the sticky threads.

I was stuck at the same point, tried reading the stickies and couldn't see anything relevant, sorry if that's just me being dumb.

Anyway, I played up to this point, was a Split comrade and got all the BBS messages and still got stuck with Miria staying at the North gate in Farnham's Legend.

I did find a way to unstick it though, I reloaded from a savegame on the Marauder and left, seeing Miria appear at the North gate and stay there as usual. On contacting a ship I noticed they offered to give me directions to Teladi Gain so I headed up there, mooched around a bit and came back. Miria was gone, I docked with the Marauder again and was able to com Miria to continue the plot. Sorry if this appears elsewhere but I haven't found a solution (short of restarting) anywhere else.

Can someone else try this and let me know if it works for them?

i was stuck at this point prior 1.3, but after maria conctacted me, i was fine. I was afraid that, since the disrupter fab was gone, i was completely boned. When i got to the in-game movie where you see the station, it was magicly back. I had no problems with the plot afterwords...........except that it could have used a little more depth.

This is so funny. I have 1.4.03 installed and still got this bug. *smirks*

[MonkeyFoo]

I thought I was stuck, I left it for about ten minutes in seta and Miria was still there. But after attempting to kill her, i flew away until she was out of scanner range but in the sector still, and when I came back she said she was ready. I dunno if I was just plain wrong, or there's a ridiculously easy fix for the bug... I'll assume that because some of you have put in so much effort, you've tried that already, but whatever.

I just got the game on Steam, if anyone cares...

Hey Reece, I've got version 1.4.03 too, and I get the bug too.

After contacting Don Marani and watching the cut-scene, Miria jumps away and after a while she jumps back into Farnham's Legend. From that point she doesn't move anymore.

If it helps anyone, I've got the BBS message in Thuruk's Pride, docked with the Silicon Mine and talked to the station manager (I'm at Split Comrade). I also got the "extra dialogue" from Saya about the crumbs.

I have bought the game months ago, but couldn't play because I didn't have a computer that could run it. Hoping that after a few months the game would be patched enough so I could play without any plot bugs, I started playing last week.

I'll just put it back in the box and check the game out again when the next patch comes out. I don't mind waiting a few weeks or months again, I'm just hoping a new patch can fix my savegames. I've put quite a lot of time in them

Go, go, Egosoft programmers! Eternal gratitude if my savegames get fixed

[Sennin]

Yep. Me to. Well, correction...I HAVE had that 7-8 issue, ended up restarting and it was fine the second time. ALTHOUGH not totally:

Fly to pleasure base, light up the pirates, hole gets blown in the lil slave trade tube, I am ejected from my ship to go rescue Saya, and just when I am going up into the tunnel and turning right, I basically run out of time...she lets me know a couple times before..."hurry up JB". Then, like nothing, some imaginary clock runs out and GAME OVER. This happend everytime. What the heck am I doing wrong?

Gave up, let SETA run overnight a few times, and I got things going all over, but the paranid hate me, and I don't want it to be like that.

Dagnabit Egosoft, Please...please please. Give us some love.http://forum2.egosoft.com/images/smiles/icon_sad.gif

I don't know what happened yesterday, but I'm happy.

I was just flying around a few sectors when I decided going back to Farnham's Legend. After having my Hercules and 8 Nova's shooting at Miria for about 10-15 minutes, for some reason she became active again and jumped out of the sector. Later I got her message that she was ready and on the Marauder. She kept the relation "enemy" to me for some time after that, but I was able to continue the storyline.

*yawn* After playing last night and today, I've finally finished the game. Great game Egosoft. My thanks.

She gives me a few of those messages too, like "hurry up JB" and "if you don't pick it up, we're going to die". Although she does give the messages, that's not supposed to be an indication that you're time is up. If you take too long, a computer voice will say something like "reactor meltdown in 3 minutes". This message will come a few more times with "2 minutes", "60 seconds" and "30 seconds".
Whatever the case, your game shouldn't end at the point you indicated.
-Are you running version 1.4.03 ?
-Did you enter Saya's ship "Nikkonofune"?
(if you didn't enter her ship, your spacesuit oxygen might have run out)

I suggest, once you get in, try to get to Saya's ship as soon as possible. You're supposed to do the rest of this mission in Saya's ship.

[Sennin]

Dude, thank you so much for the ideas. I will try them out tonight. I was thinking this was mostly a dead issue, as the thread has gone pretty cold. Thank you so much.

On the ship portion, you are correct, I begin that segment in the space suit, but did not know I was supposed to grab her ship. Though for sure I was supposed to enter solo, like in the previous Yaki hide out mission.
I will try this and let you know how it works. Does it end soon after this point?!?!?! Not a very deep plot!
thanks again

Umm....Is it just me, or is this total BS. I've had the game since it came out...and it was horribly buggy...i wait MONTHS and come back to play it with all the new patches and everything sounding great on their website...and now i make a new game, and continue on to try and play this game i paid muchas for only to find out that this Tempestine ship won't MOVE!? CMON!?!?! What does it take to fix a bug like this? this is piddely crap (yet still big enough to completely stop the MAIN FRIGGIN STORYLINE) and should be easily fixed within a matter of hours, not years. I should'nt have to "find some way to get her unstuck"...it should just WORK, like it's supposed to. Maybe these people at EGOSOFT should stop twiddling their thumbs and actually do a good job. Dont put yer name on something you can't be proud of. You can say this is the greatest space sim ever...but its not if it DOESNT WORK!? Am I WRONG!?
MAN IM SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW!
