    Marina Supply Route: "Smile and Wave" bug, possible cause/solution.

    Location: Classified Mission; Marina Supply Route

    Detail of the bug: When playing this mission once the player has reached the optional portion where player is expected to "Smile and Wave" to activate NPC voice lines and interact with keyboard to open door, waving does not cause NPC voice lines to play, nor allow keyboard interaction. Last collectible and backpack trophy inaccessible if bug occurs.

    Full requirements are to destroy yellow electrical box above office with keyboard, wave to the camera to force NPC interaction and voice lines, and interact with keyboard in office next to ammo refill box. Door opens after this if working properly, but DOES NOT function with Fragile Armor activated in the 6-8 times I've tested that directive alone.

    Consistent cause found, having the directive "Fragile Armor" activated seems to break this interaction. I have replayed this mission on every difficulty with no directives, and again with every directive active (only one at a time), and the only one that seems to break the progression is Fragile Armor. The directive breaking it doesn't make any sense but hey, I'm no game designer or coder, so not sure if there's some back-end thing going on that's causing this issue.

    Just trying to pass information along to players who might be experiencing this bug. Check and see if this directive is active, and if so deactivate it, and the mission "SHOULD" allow you to wave to the camera and the optional portion progress as it should. I know this bug itself has already been posted many a times on Reddit, and at least twice on these forums with video proof of the bug itself. Here's to hoping this bit of information helps other players collect everything from this mission.

    Thanks for contacting us about this THE_KiRRAx.
    Hopefully your workaround will assist other players get around this.
    Could you possibly link us to video footage of this issue happening?

    Honest question because I know your time is important but all the details in a video are too. Do you wish to see the video to show the entire mission leading up to that bugged area, or just the bugged area itself? I ask this because I can only actually show the active directives in the video before even starting the mission (once the mission starts the map doesn't display difficulty nor directives anymore until you leave mission area).

    I can provide either one tonight, one is just a longer video for your team to sift through waiting for me to reach the bugged area.

    Here is all the video evidence detailing this bug. Please note these attempts were ran back to back with no other activities being done in between, no changes, game was never turned on, mission was only reset and directives deactivated. Please note the player SHD level in top right corner showing the progression/order of the videos, videos were not taken at separate times. Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help with this but hopefully the images and video should be substantial enough to at least have the bug acknowledged and noted as a known issue. Thank you.

    Screenshot for evidence, Fragile Armor directive currently active. Bug present.

    I do apologize, apparently Imgur links are disabled. Let's try the screenshots again, perhaps....
