LWOTC - No Control of Jailbreak VIPs

Post by Tzauri »

So I've been playing Long War of the Chosen, and ran into an issue recently. On a jailbreak mission, I can't seem to rescue the hostages. Whenever I hack the door (or even destroy the wall) I don't hear the rescue audio cue or get control of VIPs. Hacking the door doesn't work either.

I've tried reloading the mission from scratch, destroying the walls, opening and shutting the door, verifying game integrity, and removing all mods impacting hacking and then regenerating the .ini files. None of it seems to work. A prior VIP rescue mission with a single VIP in a van worked fine though.

As an alternative to a concrete bug fix, a way to manually take control of the VIPs via console would be appreciated.

My platform is Windows 10.

Is this the standard LWOTC/LW2 jailbreak or one from a separate mod? There's a known issue in which hacking the door does not automatically give you control of the rebels/rookies, but opening the door to get line of sight on them does work.

If that's not happening, then I'm afraid I don't know what you can do. I don't think the `swapteamsOnUnitNearestToCursor` will work in this case.

I have the exact same issue. I can't get the resistance guys to activate. The object Break in the ADVENT holding cells never seems to trigger no matter what I do.

The mission type, I believe, is Jailbreak_LW. This is the only mission in all the configs (mods plus base game) that has the above object text. I think this is just a game breaking bug in LWOTC. That mission type is coming up on average once a month for me.

I have hacked the door open, gone into the room, blown the wall up - nothing. Restarting does not help. It happens on every mission of this type.

I have looked at the console command and cannot seem to force complete the objective either. This is very frustrating.

I have the following mods:

WOTC Female Hair Pack
WOTC Male Hair Pack
[WOTC] Stats on New promotion screen
[WOTC] Mission: Prison Break
Additional Mission Types Redux
WOTC: Robojumper's Squad select
[WOTC] Mod config menu

Hey,

I know this is an old post,

Having this identical problem with VIP rescue missions from Van's.

Opening the door, doesn't activate the alert, nor does it allow me to control the VIP. Line of sight to the VIP doesnt change the result, nor does restarts,

I have completed a rescue contacts missions, with no issues

Win10

Any advice would be highly appreciated :)

I ran into the same issue, but I found a dumb fix (at least for me) Just throw a frag into the room with the vip and that should give you control over the vip and give you the prompt that you found them.
