[Bug] Signal leak not showing up in Data Vault in Heretic's End - Explained.

[tatakau]

Using the latest Steam version, 8.00 (580735).

Brand new game, about 1 hour in, the recommended Argon guided start, was modified with a few workshop items (defense fleets, something about ship bailing... and that's pretty much it).

I uninstalled all the workshop items and did the data vault again, and the data leak is still now showing up.

Sad face.

Usually that's one of two things in a vanilla game: 1) You have been there before and the vault shows as unlocked, 2) you are not in suit scan mode. Since both are unlikely given the new game and your experience, then a mod effect would be a strong suspicion and disabling mods does not remove their effects from prior saves. This is assuming you are looking in the right place for the leak and anyway you can usually hear it even from your nearby ship when in scan mode.

There's nothing for the devs to look into without a link to a vanilla save showing the issue.

Ah, sorry! Here is a link to the save:

I did all of the tutorials and all of Timelines before starting in the open universe.

I have not been to the vault before. It is a new game. The vault shows as "partially unlocked" in the information panel.

I repair lasered 4 of the red panels to turn them green (Heretic's End data vault).

I have been using scan mode in my suit (shift-2).

I have been able to locate where I think the leak SHOULD be, using my headphones / audio. I just don't see anything, and nothing scans.

Hopefully I'm not doing something super dumb...

I loaded your save which obviously shows as modified, opened the five red locks and found and scanned the dataleak in its compartment.

One thing that was a bit strange was that if you get close in the suit to the closed hatch the leak is behind from following the audio and visible clues *before* you release the fifth lock then the noise and visible signal both get cut off when close and looking directly towards where the leak would be but only from some aspects - almost as if the hatch lid is a signal blocker for line of sight to the leak. Still, once the fifth lock is released then all goes as normal.
