Rackham’s trial glitch
Complaint
After getting to the end of the first trial, I can interact with the pensieve, but Professor Rackham’s tear doesn’t fall so I’m stuck. I’ve tried going back to autosaves, abandoning and redoing the trial (I’ve now done the whole thing 4 times!) with both opening and leaving the chest in the pensieve room, abandoning the quest and doing an assignment before restarting the quest, exiting to the main menu, exiting the game. The same thing happens every time and nothing is working! I can leave to the map chamber, but I’m stuck there. I can’t talk to the portrait, can’t leave the chamber, and the floo flames are disabled. The companion mod is installed, but no companion summoned anywhere near the quest since I know that causes errors. I even tried summoning and dismissing before I started the quest just to make sure. Before I uninstall all mods or uninstall and reinstall the game, does anyone have any tips?

It's a big a lot of people are having since the update, no way to fix it as of yet
Hmm, if it’s since the update, I wonder if you can to revert to a previous version?
From what ive gathered there isnt a work around, I even pondered looking for a save game editor just to get past that part. As of now the game is shelved until they fix it for me, sorry you are having the same problem
This mod was just released on nexus, hopefully should fix this issue for you too:

Thank you! I’ve never been so excited to try a mod! The last 3 weeks have been SO frustrating! Made worse by the fact that the devs aren’t even giving any updates. This will be the first thing I do when I finish work tomorrow 😍 Thank you again!

Thanks so much for sharing - I've been re-running that same quest for HOURS and this finally fixed it!
I'm sorry you PC'ers had to deal with this.
Is this glitch on any other platforms?
I've heard that removing your mods temporarily can fix it.
There's also a mod to get around it.
I haven't found evidence of any console-players experiencing this glitch, but they may have. I'm unsure.
Some people said this glitch is a side-effect of using mods and that removing the mods will remove the glitch.
I HAVE NO IDEA IF PC Players who were not modding experienced this glitch or not. I assume "yes." But, assumptions are based on lack of evidence.
I'm on PS4 not Pro.
Loading Screens are murder.
Plenty of glitches.
Nothing game-breaking yet.
I did have this glitch on ps4.. just loaded a bit further back in the trial and seemed to fix the glitch.
