[4.20] BUG - Mission guidance stopping early during Xenon Incursion

[Jeltz Prostetnic]

I have bought a 3000€ PC with Oculus Rift to be ready for X4 VR, but knowing that this will take a while I bought X Rebirth VR in the meantime. Hoping that if XRVR sells this will create the incentive to launch X4VR soon
Anyhow, I am slightly disappointed that after such a long time (I played X-Rebirth soon after it was launched) there are still problems with the plot missions and the general usability... I have played the plot mission up to the point where a large Xenon ship appeared and I was supposed to board it. But it got away and then the message "Mission successfully completed" appeared. Is this a bug, or is this supposed to happen? Should I try again, continue, start a new game or just give up and wait for X4VR? (not going back to 2D)

Imagine how I must feel reading this thread in 2023 because I just ran into the same problem.

I literally made an account to post this in 2025 because I spent hours trying to figure this out.

This isn't a bug, believe it's the end of the VR versions plot. Then you are essentially in free play.

You can mod back in the content from the flat game. It's really easy and worked on version 4.3 for me.

Just download the zip, extract and add to the extensions folder.

Adds back all the cutscenes, story, etc with a few limitations, and some quality of life changes as well.

Not perfect but 1000x better and is actually a game that feels alive.

I spent way too much time on this before I realised the VR version was just absolutely gutted.

They made easy to put back together though, so that's a plus.

Have fun
