Docks to Stock II glitch?

[Reyalegro]

So this has been the second time that this happened to me:

 

When you get rid of the cops after acquiring a cargobob, an you arrive at the destination, as soon as you shoot a merryweather guy, they seem to act as cop, including cop icons on the mini radar. I get a 3 star wanted level instantly, and 4 stars after killing the rest. Try driving the container out of there with infinite helicopters and police cars spawning around you. I tried swimming under water around the docks to evade them, but they always seem to magically see me through boats or walls and kill me...

 

Anyone else who experienced this and knows of a solution?

I'm not familiar with this mission. I've never heard of it, in fact.

 

I agree it does sound like a bug, but can you call Lester to remove your wanted level? (I don't know if it's a Lester mission or not).

This is a new mission R* has added within the last month or so.

 

Yeah it is a bug at least it seems to be because in DTS I the cops never came back after you lost them the first time.

No you can't call for help from Lester when it's his mission he won't pick up

The mission has been available since last year. I play it regularly and I've never had a problem. If it keeps happening to you I suggest you avoid that mission. I have problems on a couple of missions that nobody I've spoken to has experienced.

[sultangris]

this happens when you or a teamate gets too close to the next mission objective before you lose the cops, restarting instead of continuing seems to carry over the same bug and you must quit and start it over to pass. this happens in every mission where you get too close to the next objective before completing the last. when attempting to speed things up never get within visual distance of the next objective before the marker appears or it will glitch and you will fail.

yeah this isn't a new mission. I've had it happen when landing too far from the mission objective and trying to snipe the baddies. just land on the roof of the bldg w/ the cargo box, you won't have any problems w/ the cops, and it's a good vantage point as well.

[sultangris]

its also a good idea to trigger the mission marker before killing all the guys there, or that will also cause errors to happen when you do trigger it but no one is left to carry out the scripted actions, lol

This is not a new mission. It's been around for ages.

Is this the one where the container is under a bridge or the one where the container is inside of a little warehouse?

 

The one where it's under the bridge has glitched on me several times. When I (or whoever) gets in the forklift/loader vehicle to try and pick up the container, it won't let you and then the engine catches fire and it blows up and the mission fails.

 

I have avoided both versions of the mission for weeks for this reason.

press left or right on the dpad, i forget which, when youre over the container and it will pick it up. same to drop.

I know, it just wouldn't and the engine would start to smoke after the first few attempts for NO REASON. It had to be a glitch to happen twice in a row, and then a 3rd time a few days later when I tried it again.

Docks to Stocks 2 and American Exports (both Lester missions) require you to trigger the "Get to the container area" before you are allowed to kill the enemies surrounding the container. If you try to kill them before triggering the marker, they are considered "law enforcement" and will give you 3 stars but lose that quality after the "get there" objective is completed. You can check this by opening the map after getting the Cargobob and looking at the area around the container; "cops" will be shown in the area even though it is way outside the normal spawn area. I'm guessing the reason for this is to prevent your team from splitting up and allowing the guy with the Cargobob to sweep in and grab the container quickly and safely, though with the reward change, I doubt many people would want to speed the mission up...

 

As for the "getting too close", I've never had that happen to me (except maybe one RR, I think...). I've sat in a cargobob on the building over the container while my teammates lost their wanted levels and once they lost their stars, I "accomplished" the "get to the container" objective. Chances are, if your teammates are trigger happy, they're opening fire when they should just hold off for a bit.

 

And for the dock handler, have you done the "Scouting the Port" SP mission? If you haven't (or forgot about it), run through it (again) and just make sure you're doing everything right. It's a hard issue to troubleshoot when we aren't able to actually see what you are doing when it happens...

 

Hope this helps...

Been a while since I played it last.

I just now got through playing it and this is how I did it alone on hard difficulty.

Called for my Buzzard at the heli pad by the marina. I like leaving my car there in case I need to get away from cops if heli gets destroyed.

Took heli to the ship right across from the crate pick up and landed on the crates to snipe all I could before cops came. Sniped most then left to avoid heli disaster and lose wanted level. Went to Fort Zancuda and parked my buzzard and attached a sticky bomb to it, then took the Cargobob. Flew CB next to clothing store shopping center by the industrial plant survival place and parked it, then ran along side of the building to the back avoiding the helis shooting at me. Got in a truck parked in back and headed towards the train tunnel by Trevor's trailer. Law came in the tunnel, so it was a shootout until the train came, then I jumped on the train and headed towards the parked CB.

Lost wanted level on the way and I blew up my Buzzard too. Got off train and ran to CB. Called for another Buzzard on the way back to the heli pad. Parked CB. Flew Buzzard to crate pick up to snipe from the same ship. Lost wanted stars, then moved crate to nice lifting zone. Got back in Buzzard and took out enemies in the Jeeps. Went back and got CB then delivered crate.

Paid $22,500 and 4253 RP.

 

I'm sure I could finish it faster if I played it more often. The mission adventure was a lot of fun. I'll probably play it the same way at least one more time.
