For many Starfield players, quest bugs can create moments of frustration and the fun of the game. One quest bug in particular is Eye of the Storm. If you’ve found yourself being halted by this quest bug, you’re in luck.

Based on community insights, I’ve pieced together a potential fixes guide to help you hopefully resolve the issue. Here’s our Starfield Eye of the Storm Bug Fix Guide.

How To Fix Eye of the Storm Bug in Starfield

Quest bugs can be a thorn in the side for Starfield players, especially during critical quests. Here are a few suggested solutions to the Eye of the Storm bug. Although I personally didn’t encounter any problems with this quest, I’ve assembled advice from players who have successfully squashed this bug so to speak.

Reload a Save before turning on the power

Often, simple solutions can be the most effective. One widely recommended fix involves returning to a previous game file in Starfield. Starting with the most straightforward solutions can often save you a lot of time and hassle.

  1. Reload a saved game from before the moment you initiated the power.
  2. Hard reset Starfield: Shut down Starfield, turn off your gaming device, and give it a moment.
  3. Once you’re ready, turn your device back on and launch Starfield.
  4. Test the quest again and see if the bug persists.

Find and listen to the two recordings

Based on insights from Teffy’s contribution on the Steam Discussions, another potential fix revolves around listening to two recordings before turning on the power:

  1. First, follow the steps from the previous solution: reload your game from a save prior to powering on the two switches on either side.
  2. Teffy mentions two essential recordings: one that prompts you to wait and another signifying a point of no return.
  3. Once you’ve carefully listened to both recordings, save your game progress, but do so on a new file for safety.
  4. Next, proceed to activate the ship’s power system and start the subsequent transfer steps.
  5. If things go as planned, the bank vaults should illuminate almost instantaneously. However, if there’s any halt in this lighting process, and beware it stops at various intervals, you’re likely facing the dreaded quest glitch.

Should you find yourself in this glitchy predicament, the best course of action is to reload and attempt the quest once more. If the issue continues, repeat the hard reset procedure: shut down the game entirely, power off your device, and give it another try. These steps have worked for a few gamers out there, so hopefully Teffy’s fix will help you out! Thanks, Teffy!
