Antilochos

Let me start with saying that I love this dlc. It really is a joy to play for me, but it looks great as well. Now, I'm stuck in the single player campaign. I'm in that chapter "Carpe Noctem", with the mission "Relevation with Alien Entity" and the task "Communicate with alien entity". So it is probably the end of this chapter, but I can't get passed this damn communication thing. The ship is hanging there in the sky and I am supose to communicate with the radio thing. I have tried it and but nothing is changing. Yes, beside the main golf there apear first one and then two other radio golf, then three small radio golf, then all gone and only the main one again. I tried several combinaitons of communicating, but no result. Please BI, what are we supose to do here? This is were you dropped the ball I think, it is not clear. I don't mind thinkwork and I'm no idiot, but this silly thing has no clues.

Well, first I would advise to get some sleep. 36 hours is way to long to go without, your brain will not function optimal after long periods of no sleep. It could be that you only can send the squad away, but that there are indeed some guys not belonging to that squad or any other (or a squad you have not picked up on via your device). I guess that some times you have to sneak or kill with silencer to stay stealth. The ladder thing. If I'm not mistaken, there shows up a little arrow when in position to climb. Sure I am that when in front of the ladder, the little action menu will show the option to choose to climb ladder. If not, then I don't know what else.

Does anyone know the flag textures for the two LDF flags?

Seems you have problems that I don't. Yes, this game has some bugs or inperfections, but those things you name I don't have. First, the whole squad will leave when you deceive them with a radio order. If soldiers still standing in place, that might be another squad (you send Bravo away, but Echo is still there, for example). Climbing down ladders is so basic, I don't even recall how I do that. Did you play anything before this dlc? Better start with the tutorial.

Are you starting the game via the correct button in launcher?

Agree. I have some other bug happening to me lately; missions I have made after the dlc came out, I can not load randomly (some times I can, other times I don't) because it is missing content. The missing content are addons (and not always the same), addons that I did not even used in the mission I want to open. Very weird if you ask me.

Well, if it is a know bug, I don't mind waiting for the next patch. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the rapid response, but somehow I don't get it to work. Keeps giving me a error message. Must be on my part, but BI could've made this a little bit easier if you ask me...

I keep getting that introduction screen as Contact being the new dlc. I mean, I already finished the campaign, I know. Is there a way to turn this off? I can not find it under options neither in the launcher. If not, my advice to BI is to make this option...

But did he sold the women as well?

I had this problem as well. Problem is not you, but a bug. There supose to be a second ship right in front of you (can't miss it, really in your face), but this does not always get loaded. To solve it, just revert once or twice to a point a little bit earlier. At one point you will get that second ship and than it only takes a minute of interacting with the radio signals.

Don't know exactly wich platform you mean, but there is a new platform in editor under Structures Altis - Military (don't ask me why under Altis...).

I was wondering about that myself.

I don't know that. You can always try putting all the default. If it then still not works, you at least know there is another problem.

So they abducted poor Miller. Probably anal probed him....

By default it is the F button for that screen where he can pick different recordings. Check your key bindings if your F is not taken by something else.

That is true. I had two problems with this one. I did revert before and got the same bug (second ship not showing up), but I did not know it was a bug, I did not know what was going wrong. The conformation from Greenfist that there should be a second ship made me know what to look for when reverting and choosing the proper revert.

Go via button F to menu of device, select music and try again.

No, it shows up, but at some times some lightsources first show up as a big white square. Only a second, and then its fine.

Thanks again, it worked for me as well. SOLVED: I needed to reload a older save and this time I got that second, smaller alien ship right in front of me. Took only a couple times to interact with it and that was that.

When in that screen, go with your mouse to HQ and select HQ to whatever unit is there. Make sure to keep sending until whole message is out there, otherwise they know it is false. In that last case, don't worry because there will be another way to get what you want. This is just practice, because later on you really want to know how to do this, or need to be extremely good at fighting alone against couple squads...

@Greenfist, it did work? Thanks, this is something I can work with, I will try that later.

@Glow, Thanks, but that is not the point I'm stuck. I'm past this part. Like I said, I'm standing at the end of the mission at a radio tower, with mothership hanging in the air in front of me.

Alwarren, I tried all that. Tried full bar, tried only fill it till a certain darker colour showed in the golf peaks before I send message, tried hell of a lot. Don't think it is that that is stopping me in this mission. Some other guy mentioned another alien ship around, beside the mothership. Will look for that, but it seems you guys don't mention that (wich would be a obvious solution). Is there another ship around at that stage?

@Ex3B, thanks, I will try looking for that. @ EO, you are right. Sorry for that. Must admit, I don't know how to use spoiler tags.
