@FroJ_Simpson05 Retry from checkpoint (controls will be locked) then return to hangar(It'll have the same loading screen bug). Close application and open it up. Continue the mission and you'll be good to go.

@ShockChris33 I had this issue happen twice in a row. Suspending and resuming the ps4/game had no effect. Restarting the mission from the start to completion had the same result.

I was able to get past it after leaving my second attempt to complete the mission at the last, broken, checkpoint. I closed the game, and instead of selecting the mission hit 'continue story' and was able to control my ship again at the final checkpoint, and for whatever reason it didn't halt on the end-mission loading screen this time. Good luck!

Infinite Loading Screen Upon Completion of Mission 8: PS4

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

Hello,

I purchased the game Pre-Order and have had it for about a week. Upon the completion of Mission 8 I get the black loading screen that will not progress any further. I have left the system on for a few hours and still no dice, just loading. It actually sounds like there is some sort of glitch and the music just repeats the same 6-7 seconds. I have taken the disc out to inspect and it is as clean as a bacta tank, not a scratch on it. I am wondering if this is a bug or if there are any resolutions so that I may continue the game without losing any data, Please advise.

 

Thanks, 

VonBetz

This is a known common issue they are working on a fix for.

 

Some possible solutions are making sure the game is installed on your internal hard drive. Squadrons dislikes some external drives if you are using one. Try disconnecting the external.

 

Some people have also had luck with a clean install although I dont see how this logically could help currently as there isn't an overload of patch data. Maybe worth a try as well.

 

Good luck! Space needs you!

Mission 8 - Completing the Level Loading Bug

What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? ClassyPoundz

Please explain 'Other' End of Mission 8
What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. When I am about to finish Mission 8 and I fly back to the Overseer, the game does not progress to the Mission Complete/Medals page. Instead, I get stuck at the loading screen. I can go to the options menu and restart from last checkpoint, but when I do, I have no control over my ship. It flies straight and I can't move it. I have only been able to progress by closing out the game, and restarting it. From there, I can continue the mission and complete it. This has happened to my three times trying to play this mission. All three times, I have only been able to complete it by closing out the game and booting it back up. Has anyone else experienced this? I didn't see this issue on the known issues, so I may be the only one. But I thought I would share.
Where did this issue occur? Please include menu name or in game location. As soon as I fly back to the Overseer at the end of Mission 8, the game goes to a loading screen and stays there. It does not progress to the Mission Complete/Medals page.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 02.10.2020

What happens when the bug occurs? Infinite loading screen. I can go to the Start Menu and select restart from last checkpoint and when I do, the mission goes back to the end of the level where you need to fly back to the Overseer. However, at this point, I have no control over my ship. It flies straight and it will not move. I need to restart the game by closing it out and loading back in. Only then will the mission progress.
What do you expect to see? When I completed a mission I expect to see the Mission Complete/Medals page.
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." I believe Interceptor. I think that's the only ship you can fly during that mission.
What components were you using? I don't remember. Probably default.
Which customizations (if any) were you using? NA

All the information I have can be found above in the questions.
