In the video, the narrator discusses a bug in Star Citizen 4.0.1 that prevents players from using Quantum travel to mission markers in Pyro, leading to inefficient travel methods. A risky workaround is proposed, involving a game exit and relaunch to potentially restore Quantum travel functionality, with additional tips for troubleshooting if the issue persists.
In the video discussing the “Fight for Pyro” Phase 2 in Star Citizen 4.0.1, the narrator highlights the challenges players face when attempting to complete contracts in the remote regions of Pyro. Many players have encountered a bug that prevents them from using Quantum travel to reach mission markers, leading some to resort to lengthy and inefficient travel methods, such as using decoupled nav mode to fly for hours. The narrator emphasizes the need for a simpler workaround to address this issue.
The workaround proposed comes with a warning due to its risky nature. Players must be cautious as the method involves re-enabling Quantum travel to mission markers, which could lead to potential issues like infinite loading screens or being shard locked. The narrator stresses the importance of being aware of these risks before attempting the workaround, especially for those who have faced the bug while trying to complete contracts like the “Citizens for Prosperity” defend contracts.
To implement the workaround, players are advised to position their ships in a safe location near the contract area. The next step involves either quitting the game using the console command or by pressing Alt + F4. This unclean exit triggers the crash to desktop protection, which is designed to help players when they re-enter the game. After relaunching, players should rejoin their server, as they will be locked into that action due to the protection mechanism.
In many cases, simply relaunching the game resolves the issue, allowing players to Quantum travel again. However, if the problem persists, the narrator suggests accessing the MobiGlas and selecting the active contract, which may help kickstart the Quantum spooling process. This additional step has proven effective for some players who continue to experience the bug.
The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to share their experiences in the comments and contribute to the issue council report linked in the pinned comment. The narrator encourages community engagement and offers support for those facing similar issues, reminding players to fly safely and remain vigilant about bugs in the game.
