How to Fix Starfield ‘Into the Unknown’ Bug

In Startfield, the ‘Into the Unknown’ quest is split into several individual missions but some players are experiencing issues with this particular mission and here we show you how you can fix it.

Use Mod on PC to Skip the Mission

If you want to skip this mission and progress further in the game, you can try skipping the “Into the Unknown” mission. However, it is not recommended. Here are the steps to do so:

– Press the tilde key “~” to open the command prompt.

– Type “setstage 000160A9 600”.

– Press enter.

The drawback of this method is that it doesn’t resolve the mission because it simply bypasses it. This can be convenient if you don’t mind forgetting the storyline and proceed with the narrative. However, that prevents you from earning any new achievements thereafter.

If you don’t want that, then the only thing you can do is wait patiently until the developers release a new update. Once they release a patch, the issue will get resolved automatically.

Take a Break and Play Side Missions

• Take a break from the main quest and focus on side missions or other in-game activities for a few hours.
• While engaging in these activities, the game may update and fix the issue with the quest automatically.

Restart the Game

• Close and restart the game. Restarting the game can often resolve various issues.
• This is a standard troubleshooting step, as restarting can solve many problems.

Disable or Remove Mods

• If you are using mods in the game, disable or remove them.
• Mods can sometimes conflict with the base game and cause quest-related problems.
• Try running the game without any mods to see if that resolves the bug.

Load a Previous Save

• Load a previous save from before you encountered the bug.
• You can access your saved games through the main menu or in-game menu.
• If you’re lucky, loading an earlier save might trigger the game to fix the quest issue.

Verify Game Files

If none of the above methods work, verify your game files. This will check for and repair any corrupted or missing game files that may be causing the bug.

The process for verifying game files may vary depending on your gaming platform (Steam, Epic Games, etc.).

Restart the Mission

Restarting the game and the mission from scratch can also be the best solution to fix the issue.

Fast Travel to Another Star System

One potential solution that may fix the problem is to travel to another star system and then return to Procyon III. To implement this fix, you can utilize fast travel to a system such as Alpha Centauri or Cassiopeia, and then return to Procyon A. 

That’s all you can try fixing the ‘Into the Unknown’ bug in Starfield.
