Upon picking up the yellow flash drive from Keystone, the error below appears and task does not update. Inserting the flash drive into a computer at CSAT sawmill Base does nothing as well.

I can confirm this issue. Once I pick up the flash drive the script error appears.

This guy on BIF seems to have been able to start the virus upload process but it apparently gets stuck at 78%.

I confirm issue with stuck at 78%. Save/load don't help.

When I picked up the yellow flash drive the error below appears and the system says "DESCRIPTION UPDATE any" as shown below.

I also searched my save file and found the content below that matches the error:

I have a save file that I stand right in front of the yellow flash driver. I can provide it if there is someone working on fixing this.

It is really depressing. If I can't proceed I will lose dozens of hours of progress. Negative review until error fixed.

here is the save file

What a bummer nobody ever fixed this. Guess there's no chance now.
