Starfield Walkthrough Guide: Conquering the Groundpounder Bug and Soaring through the Stars
Highlights
- Take off and land again to potentially trigger the Groundpounder quest to progress as intended in Starfield.
- Try loading the last autosave before the mission and redoing it to reset any glitched progress and proceed without issues.
- Use console commands to reset specific quests controlling boarding enemy ships and landing on planet surfaces, but be aware that other quests may need resetting as well.
So, you've found yourself in a bit of a pickle while playing Starfield's Groundpounder quest. Fear not, intrepid space explorer! I have delved deep into the vast expanse of the internet to bring you a range of possible solutions to this bug. While I cannot guarantee that these methods will work for everyone, they have been suggested by other players who have encountered the same issue. So, let's blast off into the solutions!
One commonly suggested fix is to take off and then land again. It seems that sometimes only one ship lands while the second one never does. By repeating the landing process, you might trigger the quest to progress as intended. Give it a shot and see if it works for you.
If that doesn't do the trick, you can try loading the last autosave before the mission and redoing it. This method might help reset any glitched progress and allow you to proceed without any further issues. Remember to save your game before attempting this, just in case.
Another potential solution involves using console commands. First, seek refuge in an interior zone like the Lodge for safety. From there, you can try running the following commands: "resetquest 2c0fd9" and "resetquest 98b4e". These commands are known to reset the quests that control boarding enemy ships in space and enemy ships landing on planet surfaces. However, be aware that this might not fix the issue entirely, as there are other quests that serve as "slots" for landing ships. If those quests freeze up, landed ships might not have crews. To reset these "slot" quests, you can run a series of commands such as "resetquest 0012C6BF" and "resetquest 0012C6AE". After executing these commands, return to the quest location and hopefully, the ship will take off, followed by the arrival of the second ship.
Remember, these solutions are not foolproof, but they have proven effective for some players in similar situations. Don't forget to check out the provided links for additional resources and mods that might help resolve the Groundpounder bug. Happy questing, and may the stars align in your favor!
