X3AP (Steam, V/BP) Corporation Troubles Plot Stuck [Possible spoilers]

[pmenso57]

When the 3.0 patch was first applied, I started up the game, bought one of the new M2s to reverse engineer--which I did with 10x SETA. Meanwhile, I got the messages for the Shady Business and Corporation Troubles plots. However, I didn't have time to actually play, so I did nothing with them.

Today, I went to start the Corporation Troubles plot, and the plot will not advance after talking to the first guy. He tells me I need to talk to a corporate accountant, but the mission doesn't update to reflect this (i.e. it still points at the first station). I can go through the dialogue sequence with him over and over.

I loaded my save game that was saved before the 3.0 patch, waited for the plot message, went to talk to the first guy, and the mission advanced. So, something goes wrong with the plot if you wait too long after the initial message.

IIRC, you should look over the info the initial guy gave you again. I think he tells you to talk to an accountant at any Stock Exchange. When you dock at one, the plot should continue. Moving to X-Universe (gameplay) forum.

No, it doesn't advance.

In the 2.5.3 save, I talk to Tuffonmeluks, and the mission briefing changes to a new objective "Dock At: Any Stock Exchange" with the completed "Talk To: Tuffonmeluks" objective grayed-out above it.

In the 3.0 save, which is 47 in-game days after receiving the initial message, I talk to Tuffonmeluks, and nothing happens. I.e. it goes through the dialogue which ends with "OK, I'll go and talk to them, ... my decision." But the mission briefing does not change (still says "Talk To: Tuffonmeluks" as the only objective), and the book icon is still over the same station (Paranid Equipment Dock). Docking at a stock exchange has no effect, and there are no mission comm choices at stock exchanges.

Ah OK. I'll leave this in gameplay but let the 3.0 devs know about it.

Could you upload a game save somewhere so we can take a look at it please.

I'll try to do so tomorrow night.

IIRC, this is normal, you go to a stock exchange, talk to the character with a lightbulb on him and you have the option to see how the company is doing. I would think its difficult to put a blue book on every stock exchange in the universe.

@ gbjbaanb: No, we have already established above that there is more to this issue than that. The 3.0 Devs are on the case and have asked for a save as now provided.

Any progress on this? Should I go back to the older save?
