[Spoilers!] Conscript the Dead Ships bugged

I’m currently on Conscript the Dead Ships in the story mission, and currently I’m stuck on the step where I have to follow up with Crusader Jeyne. There is no dialog option, but how I got to this step was odd.

First after I got to the mission area I started it. The quest proceeded normally with banter between my character and the NPCs. As I agreed to move ahead and board the ship I was shown a weird upside down video of my character and squad landing at one of the beached ships in a video that was displayed upside down. After I was hit with a chain of gameplay cutting to a loading screen I did not start on the small canoe I saw in the weird disoriented video, but in the brig of the first ship. So like any confused player I ran up to the top dick and bravely fought and died from a sudden lag spike, and a overwhelming force of Risen Hylek.

Much to my dismay I revived on the Canoe when I chose to start from a check point. Now I’m at the step where I must pick a strategy and follow up with Crusader Jeyne. Of course in all bugged fashion I have only two non-progression options, and the standard “I don’t want to talk with you anymore” option.

If I try to get onto the ship I get knocked off of it, and if I jump off the Canoe I get placed back onto it. Have done this twice and gotten the same result.

Thanks for the reports! We think we may have identified what’s causing these breaks (don’t use Jump Shot to get to the different ships). We’ll be doing some additional work to prevent this, but if you go through the quest and walk along the gangplanks, it should progress normally.
