Montarrro.4986 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Well, as the title says, the last cinematic (when going downstairs to check on Petra and Andrew) in the personal story "On the Mend" does not work properly for me. It switches into the cinematic screen, but the characters won't appear, there is no audio and the text doesn't display either. This has happened twice so far and the only option is to skip the dialogue, which is kinda meh.Would be cool if this could be fixed, I prefer hearing the conversations instead of having to read them in the chat panel. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hmm. I'm told there's an overall issue with story cinematics. I helped a friend through One Path Ends last night and in the "initiation" sequence all the audio and associated subtitles appeared very rapidly, followed by the cinematic of the phases of initiation playing out in silence. He told me he'd been seeing reports that many personal/living story instance cinematics had been behaving oddly since the last patch, including issues such as you mention.Hopefully the next patch we get will correct the problem; meanwhile, I think you're not alone in your suffering, if that helps at all.I just did a key run a couple of hours ago on a sylvari (White Hart track) and did not have any visual/audio issues, though, so it apparently isn't happening globally.

Montarrro.4986 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Ah, hopefully that patch will come soon. But at least now I know I'm not the only one with this problem. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoshikogi.7160 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I can certainly vouch for this. I've been going back and doing all the storyline quests from the very beginning of the game. Everything Was fine until I got to "Heart of Thorns". Not only is the dialog and audio cutting off abruptly, it is also cutting off portions of the storyline, ultimately ruining the Storyline as a whole. For example, the part were you and Bram argue in the jungle is completely missing, causing a plot hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggiePunbot.1962 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Was this issue ever fixed? I just experienced this today; I Alt+F4 out of the game in order to try to kickstart it back into working properly (since I'm a new player and have never played this mission before) but it just keeps happening.ETA: Well, it worked after I closed the game down twice. Strange that this glitch has been around for years and hasn't been fixed yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Never seen anyone post about this issue, except for the one time it was an issue over 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baelydon.9604 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 It is now November 2022... and this is STILL not fixed? It's obviously random and doesn't affect everyone, suggesting it's likely a client-side issue... I tried doing this on two different alts now just today alone, and each time... cutscene with no characters, no audio, no nothing. I alt-F4'd out of the game on each alt, restarted the quest, still nothing. Eventually I had to just give up and "skip to the end". This really sucks, because I just came back to the game after several years away, and I wanted to play through the entirety of the story for all races again because I've practically forgotten everything.
