Help with WC Storyline, Space Station Level 4.

[Whiplash]

Greetings TNM team and fans (TNM rocks BTW, has almost as much replay value as the original Deus Ex) (I am playing the original without any patches)

After playing the PDX storyline a few times I decided to play the scumbag for once and played the World Corp(se) storyline.

All went OK until I got to the Space Station, Level 4, the Artillery Power, where you have to kill Deus Diablo. Once he was out of the way I set to turning on the 5 power thingies, as the goals screen tells me I must do before blasting PDX HQ.
So anyway, I turn on all 5 artillery power thingies, and nothing happens. No change in goals, no PMs, nothing. I later found some kind of puzzle-console where you have to turn on all 5 lights with state-swapping buttons, figured I need to light them all up but again, when I solved the puzzle, nothing happened.

Did I screw up somewhere or is there a bug?

Please patch the game when you're done. Please please pretty please.

A goal update was added in one of the patches. Go to the control room (near the door where you came in) and use the control panel.

[Scotch]

Yeah walk into that smaller room in the artillery generator room and use one of the keyboards. After a little puzzle, you will be clear to continue on.

Yeah, but the problem is, after turning on all the machines (which you have to do first) I get no updates, and I solve the puzzle, still no updates.

Ok, so if I apply the latest patch (1.02?) how far back do I have to go with savegames for the flaw to be cleared?

[Jonas]

Before the space station I'm afraid.

Thanks

Once all lights are on, press the big red button to proceed . No need to reload an old save.

[Whiplash]

Yeah, that was probably the nub of the problem: I didn't realise that as well as solving the puzzle, you had to click that illuminated knob thingy.

Slight critique here: I think that whole puzzle thing is poorly explained vis-a-vis most of the other challenges a player is given - you pretty much have to deduce firstly that it is a puzzle, then click the button thingy, normally when you play TNM there are notes scattered around anything unusual or Scara/That Guy or KK/Evil send you PMs all the time, a conversation gives you a clue or the Goals screen refreshes with new data.

Which is what the patch does .

Guys, don't know if I am mental or not, but I'm playing through on 1.02 from scratch as a good guy and am in the artillery room ... pressed all 5 generators, go back into the control room .... and there is nothing to press ....... no keyboards .... just some flashing screens ... and obviously the security console ..... I've played through without a hitch till this point.

HELP

BTW .... Loving it.

You're not supposed to be there... go to the Annihilator Room (yeah, the getting a goal when pressing 5 buttons you do not need to use is a 1.0.2 bug).

If you're playing for PDX, you have no business in the Artillery Power area.You need to go the Annihalation Farm, find each of the 4 buttons to start a dissonance cascade, then go to level one and use the Master Control Mainframe to ban Scara.

[Hassat Hunter]

There is something inbetween to do, but that's basically the point, yes.

OK..............

Master Control Mainframe, where is it exactly?

HOW do you use it.

I think I've located it but the only console I can access has all options grayed-out

[Hassat Hunter]

Highest point of lvl 1.
Use a password (lvl 2) or hack it.

What does your goal say? You probably have something left to do first. possibly involving an AI called Narcissus.
