Quest marker for institute not appearing when asked to recruit Allies

I’m on the “War Is good for business” quest. I want to get the institutes help, but the quest marker isn’t showing up.

For context, I completed nuclear family and am the director of the institute. I also did the “plugging a leak” quest and had Justin Ayo exiled to the surface, meaning Alana Secord is the new SRB director. Was Justin the person I needed to talk to? That’s the only reason I can think of for the marker not showing.

No, X6-88 is the one you needed to talk to, if I am remembering correctly. Need to ask for help.​

Hey, Thanks for the reply!
Whenever I try to talk to X6, it just shows the vanilla companion dialogue tree. It worked when I spoke to preston, but for whatever reason X6 doesn't feel like it. (Images Attached)

I haven't actually tested through that particular scenario. You should get the same dialogue tree as you did with Preston.
It's going to be some time before any bug fixing is done, but I'll make a note of it and see if we can replicate the issue.

Exactly the same Error here, X6 refuses to give me any option to join, other factions work.
Is there a command to force this option to be true, so the institute will help me?

The only time I've ever recruited help from the Institute was by talking to Father, it could be triggered by talking to him right after that board meeting you have with them all.

Reason I mention that is because it's Father I spoke to and not X6. Could it be that this option doesn't occur if Father is dead?

There isn't one that I'm aware of.
If Father has passed away, the X6 is the one who you are supposed to talk to. Unfortunately, I haven't had an opportunity to test and see what is happening there yet.

If you'd like to continue the story, you can go proceed without the Institute as allies by completing the quest.

Thank you, anything else I need to do regarding "Report a bug" which is mentioned here? Report a Bug

No, this is where folks report bugs.

The process we currently use, is folks tell us what's happening for them in Questions and Help, then someone tries to replicate the issue to see what is happening, and logs an issue for the devs. That involves providing a save file with a minimal mod list for them to work with and proves that there's an issue with SS2, and isn't a mod conflict. I have a note for myself to test this... just not sure when I'll get to play through the Institute past Father's death to replicate the bug.

I've just played through the Institute, completing Nuclear Family, and no issue asking X6 for help with the gunners.

Question @Blitze, @Ahsooka
Had either of you recruited X6 as a companion?

Yes + i even have his perk but like I said father was dead already when I started the mod

I thought that maybe if X6 wasn't recruited as a companion, I'd try testing through that scenario, but if that isn't the case, there isn't a reason to do so.
I don't think any of us have tested installing SS2 & Chapter 2 after having completed Nuclear Family.
The dialogue for X6 was available for me to recruit the Institute as allies for me, as I said, after completing Nuclear Family, so it should have been available for you as well. Unfortunately, I don't believe that I can replicate this issue. You can do the End of the Beginning with no allies.
