Primary Bug Report Where There’s Smoke - Quest fails to update after killing Gunners and Aiden is non-interactable

Killed all the gunner scum (I think). Now Aiden is just standing there. Unless there are more gunners I haven't found.
 
I cant even find him... I killed them all also I believe hell I even started outpost cause I was right there and a few other gunners showed up but nothing its just me and Jake running around like idiots
 
Head east towards Outpost Zimonja (don't trigger the raiders if you can help it), There were 3 or 4 I had to kill on just past it. Also, if Aiden gets stuck and won't talk, fast travel away and then back, I found that fixed it
 
Also stuck on this quest with Aiden not continuing the quest for me. Have checked for any remaining Gunners and can't find any, cleared nearby raiders and Outpost Zimonja. Fast travelled, fast travelled and waited 24 hours, nothing. He's just stuck. :(
 
finally got around my bug, which took a few reloads. Went to optional places,disabled XDI AND dismissed all followers. Only then did the quest proceed.
 
Going to the other markers should have cleared it.
I ran into the same thing and that was what unstuck the script.
I think you will find the script required visiting all three markers.
Disabling the mod and dismissing followers was overkill :P
 
And now when i save and exit those save's arent appearing when i exit and re launch the game !?!
So i lost all the progress trying to get around this bug and have to repeat it again... But still no point if my progress aint saving

Did a fresh install of SS2 and still no dice...
going to try uninstalling everything/verify and start from scratch

EDIT Complete re-install of all mods and still broke.

I was having the same issue after resetting the quest 3 different times. When the Gunner reinforcements all appeared to be dead, I walked over to Zimonja and found Aiden with a Fatman equipped. Aiden wiped out two more Gunners and that appeared to be the last of them. I walked back to the marker and the quest continued with Aiden remarking that we handled ourselves well.
Note: I had already cleared out Zimonja prior to the fight with the Gunners reinforcements. Not sure if that makes a difference.
 
I ran into the same issue as well. I actually went to the battle site first and now Aiden is just standing there and Jake is no where to be found. I tried going to the optional sites, and Jake appeared, triggered a cut scene telling me that I need to keep looking. Went back to the third site and Aiden is just still standing there with no Jake. I waited at the marker for several minutes and then gave up. Looked around for more gunners (including at the outpost). Still nothing. At this point I have moved on to the other quests (as i started a new game when installed Sims 2). Has anyone found a sure fire fix or is this a storyline ending glitch?

PS this all occurred after Nov. 15th so i'm pretty sure I have the most up to date version already as per Abaris' comment?!

After you visit another location what does Jake do? One of my play throughs he would walk slowly back to the spot to meet Aiden.
However if he stops for any reason like fighting mobs the script will stop again.

XBox is also a few updates behind the PC, I think.

Can't recall exactly, but basically says that we need to move forward and keep looking. I tried going back to see if Jake was just wondering around but I didn't see him and I couldn't remember exactly where the first location was (As the marker disappears once you visit it). I'm not surprised that i'm running into issues with the x-box version, but glad to see that it isn't a console exclusive issue.

As i have moved on to other mission, I have no clue what that will do. I've revisited the site a couple times, but it's likely been about 3 days (game time) since I last tried. Is there anyway to simply restart a single mission? I even tried killing Aiden to see if it would reload, but he is invincible, so no luck there.
