How To Fix Starfield Hostile Intelligence Bug?

The developers of the Starfield game, Bethesda Game Studio, have not provided any official update or announcement regarding the bug or its fix. However, users and players all over the globe have shared a few fixes that worked for them and helped them to move forward in the game.

1. Discover The Processing Plant Along The Ridge

A user shared on a forum that going up on the ridge above the door and keep on moving along the ridge until you “discover” the Processing Plant fixed the bug for him.

Once you’re up on the ridge, you can look down into a little area that has some terrormorph-controlled animals. On one end is a building complex (the Processing Plant).

Keep moving toward that until you get the pop-up on your screen that says you’ve discovered the place. Once you discover the Processing Plant, head back to the mission door and it should now be debugged.

2. Fast Travel To Forward Base 441

For another user, fast travel and going back to Forward Base 441 fixed the issue. After fast travelling to Forward Base 441, just walk back to the Processing Plant.

The missing dialogue seems to have been the issue. As soon as you walk through the door connecting the wall, it refreshes the quest objective.

3. Reload A Previous Save

Try reloading one of your earlier saves. Navigate to the Save option in the menu. You can then create a manual save file that you can reload whenever you want.

After reloading the auto-save try passing through the door again to finish the quest. Restart the quest once it’s loaded to check if the problems persist.

If so, proceed to the next method. You should also make a local backup of your saved files. You will not be concerned about lost or damaged files later on this way.
