Hi

I've just given the Mysterium Xarxes to Martin, who tells me to speak with Jauffre about some spies checking out Cloud Ruler Temple. From googling this problem (for no joy) I know this is an important quest. However, Jauffre's conversation does not include any mention of spies, although my quest arrow is attached to him. I've also tried speaking to Capt Steffan, who I understand also has information about this quest.

Can anyone give me some advice about this? Seems like a bug. Is there a fix? Workaround?

A TalkWhen variable of some kind not being set?

Cheers!

EDIT: playing PC version straight out of the box ie unpatched

Do you have GOTY? You really should patch up to the latest and greatest version if you don't have GOTY........

???? Game of the Year? Sorry, mate, I'm a bit late to this game. Not sure what you mean...

Edit: Ah, I get it now. Just googled it. Naw, don't want to buy another version, though the expansions sound sweet.

Just concerned at the moment about this apparently game-breaking bug... It must be a simple fix somehow. Guessing I should be able to set a variable somehow with the console but I don't know how nor what it might be.

Thanks for the link, mate. However, I don't want to buy anything from Steam, though it seems a good deal, and none of the patch notes list this particular bug. Might just start the game again... Or might not... If the bug occurred again the disc might turn into a frisbee.

EDIT: patched to 1.02. Didn't fix the problem, though I didn't think it would...

Don't think I've seen this bug before. Running any mods?

I assume you've tried scrolling down in Jauffre's list of topics? (You'd be surprised how many people miss this.)


But, yeah, this can probably be fixed with the console. Just make sure to keep a save from before you mess around with console commands. Try

addtopic MQ07Spies

first. If Jauffre still won't talk about Spies, you can skip ahead to the next stage of the quest with

setstage MQ07 20

Much appreciated!

Yep, I hit the scroll option, though I can certainly understand how a newbie to the game (which I am) could miss it.

Although your fix was timely, nevertheless I'm an impatient bugger and I've started again. I actually don't mind since now I'm more au fait with the controls etc etc and there's so much to see/experience in this sweet game anyway. It's been sitting in my drawer for years...

Thanks again for all your responses!
