Podbua: ...On 4 quests so far, 2 of them main story, and 1 tarot mural, the scan event will not trigger when I look at the slightly yellowish hotspots with gear icons on them. I can see them, I tried zooming in and out, pushing the scan button, toggling it, remapping the keys ... nothing. The subsequent event does not start. While this is somewhat frustrating when trying to do all the police jobs in a sector (the two stuck sidequests are "Cyberpsycho sighting: Bloody ritual" and "Reported crime: Dredged up"), or colleting the tarot murals (the one on a big storage tank in Arroyo cannot be scanned), it is terrible when it occurs during the main story missions (Ghost town - cannot scan the necessary three devices; Automatic love - cannot scan the security feeds). And although this part of the Automatic love quest is optional, I have no desire to skip it, as I have been immensely enjoying the story and atmosphere of Night City so far.

Podbua: So what seems to be the problem? On 4 quests so far, 2 of them main story, and 1 tarot mural, the scan event will not trigger when I look at the slightly yellowish hotspots with gear icons on them.

Holywizzz: You are not alone in this game breaking bug.. It personally made me stop the game, I dont want to start over after 40h.

Here is a topic on this on the Cyberpunk forums : Technical section "Scanning does not count"

I'mt trying to be as active as possible on this topic to raise CDPR awareness since it is one of the most urgent bug right now (we can't even finish the game).

Hopefully they will do something about it soon or I'll just play Cyberpunk in ... well .. 2077 :)

GObonzo: it appears to be a rather common bug for some users.

i ran into a similar issue where when scanning enemies the left hand page with the quickhack menu would not appear and the right hand page only showed the item/NPC being scanned's info but not the quickhack info tab.

reloaded a save from before the issue initially arose and it fixed the issue for good.

another thread on CDPR forums where some other users seemed to find other fixes for the issue:

Podbua: Apparently after applying v1.04 patch, my scanner mode stopped working. I have tried looking all over the net, as well as this forum, and I concluded it is not the "I cannot go into (or start) the scanning mode", nor can it be fixed by restarting the game, reloading an earlier save or even reinstalling the game itself.

I have attached a screenshot scanning the case without effect, to better elaborate on my problem.

I have also noticed the 1.05 patch is scheduled to arrive *before* Dec 21, but have no ide whether this issue will be included in the fixes, especially since I have not been able to see anyone with a similar issue (*don't I feel special? Yay!*).

Any help on this matter (fix, workaround, whatevz) from either the community or the devs is appreciated, even if only to bring attention to the issue and fix or prevent it from happening to others in the future.

Preem sich, choombas!
