So I'm at the castle, and had activated the tower, and got Freedom Radio working.


I don't play the game doing each mission as it comes up and tend to go wondering for hours at a time.


Anyway, I got to the artillery mission, however now the minuteman who should be on the radio says it needs power. The power is connected to it and all the dials are still flashing and moving. The power icon is green, how're the person bit red.


I've read about the web that this is a bug. Is there any fix or inbound fix?


I don't plan on going back to whenever he got bugged - I've went back 6 hours and it's bugged there, so not going back any further.


Will be trading the game in if there is no work around as I have no intention of going back 7-10 hours.

Nobody got a suggestion or answer for this???

Are you sure the radio has enough power, it needed a pretty decent amount iirc. I think 2 small generators+1 medium one? If that's not your problem, then no clue sorry

Make sure you have power wired directly to the radio console, not the tower itself.

I have the EXACT same problem. I cannot find a fix anywhere online. The radio dude just won't sit back down in the chair! It says it's completely powered up and everything, it just needs someone assigned to it. But it won't let me assign him back to it or anyone else. It won't even let be delete the transmitter itself and start over. Some people say they've found luck fast traveling and coming back, or messing with the wires and generators. But this hasn't helped me. It makes the final quest defeating the Brotherhood impossible. I can't load back another save because that'd be 8-10 hours of gameplay and it may not even work. Apparently if he gets up, he won't sit back down. But he gets up when the institute attacks the castle, so I might just run into the glitch again.

you need at least 10 power to get the radio working
