Cannon Street Messengers quest (Note; spoiler inside)

I think the quest's actual name is "Proper Notice" or something like that. It's given to you in Temple Station by an NPC called 'Meg'. This is when you're on your way to kill Oculus (spelling?) and proceed to Monument Station. This quest is really simple - in theory. You find a dead guy/girl with a '?' over his/her corpse, and upon clicking it you recieve a PDA. Before SP patch 0.6, once you'd gotten the PDA the corpse got a new '?' and you'd get another quest to give the PDA to Meg in Temple Station. After the patch however, I haven't gotten any new '?' on the corpse. I've clicked the PDA and a window comes up with the quest information, but no matter how many times I click 'Accept' this quest just won't register in the log.

This is really annoying, since the completion of this quest triggers another quest (I believe you're supposed to kill an Orbile boss in Angel Passage?). So to sum my current situation up; I've got 4 quests to complete (same quests in both Normal and NM), which will most likely grant me another stat point. But the most annoying thing is that sooner or later, the minigame will prompt me to complete a quest, which I won't be able to do, since these quests are the only ones I have left.

I'd be more than happy to get some help on this matter by anyone who has completed the above mentioned quest(s), after installing the recent patch.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Okay, my minigame decided to go apeshit on me just now, and prompt for the completion of a quest. No more minigame for me, I guess. I had expected to complete at least a few more minigames, though.

Same thing happened to me :-(

This is a common bug, several others (including myself) have been hit by it.

To get around it, you have to activate the PDA while in one of the stations, and talking to the merchant. I got it to activate while in the Monument Station. I went back, talked to Mag, and viola!

Ah, so while I have the Merchant's window open I'll activate the PDA, right? I'll try that a couple of times and get report back.

Yeah happned to me 3 times with 3 chars i was leveling together. Sounds like a nice fix tho thx

Personally i think its awesome that a patch to fix problems in a game actually manages to create new problems that weren't even there before.

You have to admire stupidity like that. :shock:

What do I do if I dropped the PDA? Shit....I got frustrated and just dropped it.

Thanks HEAPS, mikeandroe! :D

Luckily, I still had both my PDF's in my inventory, so I talked the Temple Station merchant, and then clicked the NM PDF, and as you said "violá!". The quest registered in my log, and I went to talk to Mag. Funny thing though, when I talked to her I got the dialogue-window that you usually get from the dead messenger, so I had to restart in order to be able to talk to Mag and complete the quest (the '?' above her head was white until I restarted).

As for your problem, Lonethar, I have no idea. The dead messenger won't respawn, right? Only thing I can think of right now is to wait for FSS to patch so that the messenger respawns and can give you a new PDF?

Anybody else got any (more valuable) clues for a situation like Lonethar's? I remember I was very close to discarding my PDF's too.
