Broken jump hole

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Broken jump hole

I need some help im in mission 9 and have no problem taking out the arch and the fighters that attack Juni on my return trip to the jump hole which is my waypoint. When i get to the jump hole after defeating all enemies and completing the objectives it says "dock denied" no matter how long i wait after the lesson on nomands. I also tried another jump hole in the system but it do denied me. can someone please help

Is the jump gate shooting at you? if so, you accidentally shot a good guy during your battle. I did that the first time i played freelancer and got shot real fast. That makes you hostile with the people owning the gate and you can't use it. I may be wrong. You gotta do the mission over again if you did. Have you updated to version 1.1? Some times that causes glitches.. try uninstalling that.

We don't own this place, but we have an understanding with the people who do.....

I've seen this before. Sometimes the game stops you and does this. Try moving closer to the hole and dock again.

thanks but i never installed a the 1.1 patch and im pretty sure the jump hole is freindly since my wing men still are and ive never seen the jump hole shoot and as for moving closer ive moved right on top of the sucker and she still wont let me in...its getting really annoying cause untill it works i have no way to finish the mission thanks again for the ideas tho

Have you modded?

I don't think it's mods or the patch this time.
When you get out of the arch, Juni asks you to help her kill some Rheinlanders. Have you done that?
After that you must be able to jump. I strongly advice you to wait with the docking command untill everyone is done talking. Sometimes events are triggered after a caracter says something (I know, it's stupid)
Maybe you need to update your codex. Try this link and see if it helps.

If that doesn't help ask again in the technical forum and I'm sure someone can help you there.

One last option I know wich has caused many a problem: Wich version of DirectX do you have installed? If it's 9.0b you might want to switch back to 9.0.

I hope this helped.

Edit: Damn spelling.

Jump holes can't shoot...

That makes you hostile with the people owning the gate and you can't use it.
It's a jump hole, it can't be possessed...

I may be wrong. You gotta do the mission over again if you did.
No Comment.
Hehe, sry 4 bein a ****. I'm havin a bad day.

i had this same problem too... except it was in multiplayer. none of the jump holes would work... jump GATES worked perfectly, and i have never modded. the server was unmodded.

one day i just tried the jump holes again (same ship and everything) and it just worked... i have no explanation.

see if u can go back to before you were given mission nine (like the freeplay time after 8) and try random jump holes. dont worry u wont lose ur game cuz u can just load up one of the HUNDREDS of autosaves!

If you want a crappy excuse, just say the jump holes weren't phase aligned when you tried to go through
