Jake stuck at Concord

warning major spoilers

I'm trying to skip straight to Chapter 2 "How to HQ" on a new save using the holotape, but after waiting for all quests to complete, Jake stands in the building at Concord, and talking to him does nothing.

This 'stuck Jake' issue was already happening with me on old saves when skipping to the Chapter 1 quest "The Coolest Cat," but I was able to fix that by waiting for Old Paul to arrive at Jake and ask for help with the raiders down the road. No quest markers would appear but by following Old Paul, sure enough the raider group was there and dealing with them made Jake realize what part of the story we were in. Because of this, my assumption is that with Old Paul being gone in Ch2, Jake needs to 'update' again but is stuck waiting in the Concord building for someone who'll never come.

Also noticed the cells won't update i.e. GNN still has gunners surrounding it.

Edit: And one more thing to note, Jake is supposed to be arguing with Aiden as you enter GNN during How to HQ, but due to my current bug, Jake has become seemingly schizophrenic and is arguing with a nonexistent "Aiden" at the Concord building.
 
For anyone who comes across this thread:

A potential workaround I found is skipping to one of the earlier quests "End of the Beginning," where you meet up to attack GNN, and playing through the mission. It seems that skipping to the quests after the attack are what causes issues, maybe because the GNN cell doesn't update right away.

yep! You will prolly miss up some settlers etc by skipping like this!

I have been exploring how to safe skip chapter 1 and found the best route is
Fresh char » Cheat terminal»
Upgrade to level 30 to 40(up to you) This is so you have specials and perks to access special dialog lines
Gear yourself
Go to Sanctuary (advice to have either a small transfer settlements blueprint)
Do the 1st quests with Jake / Finish If I Had a Hammer
Skip to
Who can? ASAM!
Finish the remain of chapter 1 manually

Chapter 2 ...
Uncertain yet what's safe to skip!
