To preface, I just purchased the game three days ago.
A previously published (from MARCH) but still applicable article is posted here: https://www.gosunoob.com/division-2/...k-mission-bug/
1. Short description of the issue There are two known variations of this gamebreaking bug. The first variant is where you actually get the Reactivate SHD Network mission, but are unable to activate the network in the basement of the White House. The second, which is what I have unfortunately experienced, is that I don't even have access to the Reactivate SHD Network mission whatsoever. Regardless, this prevents players from completing the Capitol Building, and subsequently prevents them from attaining World Tier status, accessing Episode 1 content, and so on and so forth.
2. What was I doing? First and foremost, this bug has been present in the game since its release. I think that bit is important, and I will probably restate it over and over again. I believe there are now two explanations that cause this bug. The first, as stated in the article, is if people accidentally skip the cutscene. The second, which is what I experienced, is that I played the mission in a friend's lobby (he was the host) who had already completed the Reactivate SHD Network mission, so I did not automatically attain the follow-on mission.
3. Can I re-create this bug? With all due respect, I'd rather not completely start a new character, progress through the entire story again, just to reach the same conclusion. I can say with confidence that the bug is still occurring and I am not the only one who has fallen victim to it RECENTLY based on previous posts in this forum. Please reference the latest 3 posts (less than 72 hours old) from a post initially made in March. https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthrea...IVE-quot-event
4. What Troubleshooting Have I Done? After going back to my own session, I had to re-complete the main missions starting with Potomac. Even after re-completing the mission solo, I still do not attain the follow-on mission. I have tried sitting in the Matchmaker for Story difficulty, then immediately making the other person the leader of the group following them joining. I have completed the mission twice in this manner, but language barriers (I'm NA but playing on the EU server because of military obligations) have possibly been a complication, and neither of those times worked. I currently found someone who I am attempting to 'power-level' through the story while he hosts the session, but we are not yet to that mission. As far as I'm aware, as the article states, completing the mission with someone else hosting the group who has NOT ALREADY COMPLETED IT is the only workaround besides starting a completely new agent and redoing the entire game, which took me approximately 18 hours of gameplay.
5. Specs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M, Intel i7 6820HK, 64GB DDR4 RAM, Windows 10, game is installed on an SSD.
6. Screenshots/Videos I would gladly attain this if the server was not currently undergoing maintenance. If necessary I can take some when it comes back up, but essentially the Capitol Building is locked and says "Undiscovered Mission" as the reason for being locked. I have completed all other story missions and strongholds.
7. Previously Reached Out to Support I had a live chat with a friendly support person yesterday, and she acknowledged all of the above as far as I'm aware. The ticket number that was assigned to our chat was: 09612845.
Besides this extremely huge problem, I have been very satisfied with the game. I, frankly, just want to experience the end-game content with everyone else.
Did I mention that this completely breaks the game and stops all chances at progression?
Update: So, following the patch and playing with someone else, it for some reason worked. I went back and redid the Jefferson Square mission, which for some reason did it for me. I have no clue why it worked. I will say that it is still certainly a bug and the post is still relevant minus the fact that I fixed it for myself.
He, I'm very sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue.
Considering the mission is not showing for you at all, my main suggestion would be to re-do the mission "Federal Emergency Bunker" solo on Story difficulty. That is the mission just before activating the SHD network and should cause it to trigger for you.
I know you mentioned you've been re-doing the story missions, can you please confirm if you re-did that mission?
Thank you for your time, I'll keep checking this thread throughout the day for your reply.
Apologies for not seeing this reply before adding mine, I had your thread open while investigating so it didn't refreshOriginally Posted by Metallica774 Go to original post
We'll make sure to continue investigating this, however I'm glad you found a solution that worked for you.
Enjoy your day!
