Only 2 quests left to do before it and really hoping they patch it soon... It's definitely not to do with starting the quest on the latest patch thats for sure! I played the entire chapter on the latest patch and have still had the same issues. Only thing I can think of is that maybe already beating his high score prior to the quest starting is making the game bug out? The only hope is a quick patch as it is one of the last things I need to do before the point of no return. Hopefully it gets sorted soon... I have a feeling it might take a while though...

the_sultan999 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 started this quest at 1.02 and didn't let me progress I hope they patch this soon sucks to stay stuck like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richoxer Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) I got the bug too. To clarify on criteria and testing: I started the quest AFTER the 1.02 patch. I left G-bike until last, like many others did - bug triggered. I reloaded a save and re-started the quest from the beginning. Did G-bike first this time - bug triggered again. I had no pre-existing high score on G-Bike before starting the quest - not even Rank 1 - so this is unlikely the cause. So tracing the cause or trigger of the fault seems a mystery to me, given it doesn't happen to everyone. Good luck to anyone trying to figure it out. Deleting the game and re-installing to 1.0 worked perfectly as attested above by others. This is why I always buy physical, where it's an option. Plus re-sale value of course. And finally to reaffirm - 1.02 save files DO work fine on the 1.00 version. I'm grateful for this - often it's not the case! I might just be repeating others here, but I hope this helps. Honestly the most painful part of the workaround is the one-hour 144GB install - that sucked, having started it at 11pm.

ZeromusF4 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Im only at the start of chapter 9 atm. Is the play to not take the quest on 1.02, downgrade to base disc version, do the quest, then redownload the patch? When is the earliest you can do this quest?

Earliest you can do the quest is the end of chapter 12, and you must complete every other sidequest before it unlocks. You can play the rest of the game to get to that point on the current patch, you just need to downgrade before starting the quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakXedge Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Another one here hit by the bug. Just to clarify, I started the quest this morning, so patch 1.02 already installed. All minigames went OK but not G-Bike. I've received credits for beating his score but the mission just bug out. I'm now installing again from disc to play on 1.00.

nudoetcrudo Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I didn't get the bug on hard. I completed the side quest on normal before the patch, then re-did on hard after patch and everything was fine. So, maybe do it on hard? You need the related colosseum battle on hard to get a manuscript anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's a Gamefly rental, so I didn't want to wait for a patch that will come who knows when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripple_Barnett Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Same I beat G-Bike a. minute ago and I did not start the quest before the Patch. Beating Galactic Survivors and that last Musclehead Coliseum match will be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't started the entire chapter until after the patch, and the bug is affecting me... I also had not already beaten his score, but I had beaten rank 3. Maybe that's the issue?

EthanPR123 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Finally got an update from the Square Enix support email and it seems like they are finally acknowledging the issue: "Dear Customer, We are sorry to hear that you are having an issue with the "Can't Stop Won't Stop" quest in FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH. We are aware of the issue that you reported and have forwarded it to the developers, but we currently do not have any details on when it may be fixed. We can only advise you keep checking for any game updates and check our social media sites for more information on future updates. Kind Regards, The Square Enix Customer Support Centre team" Guess we have to wait and see on that patch... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroth4424 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I am playing the digital version but i also own a physical copy of the game. Will my save from 1.02 version be compatible with 1.00 version? I plan to do this quest on 1.00 and then redownload digital version and resume there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burritoprime Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 So if I start the game from scratch will I still be susceptible to the glitch? Haven't started the game yet as I wanted to finish some games first but now I'm skeptical, kinda of a bummer ngl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodyChipper Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I didn't want to test fate (or the specters), but I can confirm that the trophy will pop even when completing the other three parts of the quest at v1.02 and then completing the bike and 3-d brawler parts at v1.00 after a reinstall from disc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure there will be a patch before you reach this point but still, if you manage to bug yourself, you can downgrade the game and still get the trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperNeos2 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Had to order a physical copy of the game to try and get around this glitch because I did not put over a hundred hours in this game to not get the platinum. I’ll report what happens when it arrives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrilloHD Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Gave it a shot. Thankfully it didn't bug on me. I'll try to state everything I did leading up to it in my play session in case the answer is somewhere there. I'm playing on a physical copy. I was already in the postgame. In chapter 13. Currently on Easy. Was in Graphics mode. It was one of the last minigame-related things I needed to do (still need crunches and Cactuar Crush, but that's it now). My play session: - I did all of the Chocobo Race II races except the first race in that section, which I did last night. - I did the Gold Cup while getting first in every race (watching all the cutscenes relating to that sidequest, which was my last one). I had a save before and after the Gold Cup. - Accepted the final quest from the Costa del Sol notice board. - Returned to Gold Saucer and began the quest. Didn't skip any scenes. - Immediately went for the G-Bike. Created another save before trying G-Bike. - Took three tries to get the necessary score. I only achieved Rank III when I beat the UPA score. Don't know if any of this stands out. My lone theory could be the fact I was in Graphics mode. The split Performance options were added in the same patch, so maybe there's a connection there. I assume many immediately went for the 60fps settings (and the fact it helps in crunches and Space Ranger) while others, like myself, decided to stick with the full 4K. Might be worth testing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm that this worked for me. Did it on "Performance - Sharp" before this and got a high score, but the objective did NOT register as complete. Per BrilloHD, I set my graphics to "Graphics" and got the high score again (32500) and the objective completed. Thanks BrilloHD! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense that the quest was bugged for some and not others. Hopefully that actually is the case. Much better work around to play on graphics mode for a few minutes than reinstall the entire game.

Don’t think it is this as I have played the entire game on graphics mode and have the bug, so it’s definitely not exclusive to performance mode. Might be just swapping the mode in general fixes it? Might be something to test. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick240894 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Just chiming in with my own experience. I'm playing the quest on hard mode and have had no issue getting my G-Bike score to register, or any of the other scores. I started it post-patch, I'm in performance mode, and I had already previously beaten all of his high scores. Despite all of this, the quest progressed just fine for me.

Just getting through round 1 with the giant cactuars was absolute hell, and round 2 with the tonberries is very annoying even with anti-instant death gear, because they keep binding me, but the real wall is round 4 : the two jokers + gigantoad. I already struggled with that when I did the quest on normal mode, but doing it on hard mode is sheer insanity. What characters and builds did you use for it, if you don't mind my asking?

You don't need to do it for platinum, the manuscript is indeed the only reason to do it. I'm going for a 100% play log which is why I'm doing it. It's absolute hell though.
