CONTROL Resonant Subwoofer Bug: Missing Prompt and Patch Fix
Older versions could delay the final subwoofer interaction prompt in The Complete Set. Remedy documents a fix in update 1.4.0 for the final prompt being delayed by two minutes.
Quick answer
The missing final Subwoofer prompt was fixed in update 1.4.0. If you cannot interact, first finish placing the set, switch off the four ordinary speakers and let the civilian’s conversation finish. Update your platform version, then check the final Subwoofer. A missing collectible or locked entrance needs the normal quest route, not a bug workaround.

Cannot turn off the Subwoofer? Match your current objective
| What you see | What to check |
|---|---|
| Still collecting or placing equipment | Follow the full Complete Set route. The final interaction is not available yet. |
| Set placed; ordinary speakers still playing | Switch off all four ordinary speakers and complete the civilian conversation. |
| Final Subwoofer has no prompt | Compare your installed version with Remedy’s 1.4.0 prompt-delay fix. The older issue could delay the prompt by about two minutes. |
| A choice appears, but you are unsure which to select | The interaction is working. See the two civilian outcomes; this is a decision, not the missing-prompt bug. |
Do not keep repeating unrelated collectibles or start New Game Plus just to troubleshoot this step. If the same objective remains blocked on an updated build, capture that objective and the absent prompt for support; there is no verified universal save-edit or reload repair here.
Match the documented symptom
The historical issue affects the final subwoofer interaction after placing the set and shutting off the four speakers. The 1.4.0 notes identify a prompt that could fail to appear for two minutes. A locked SR door, missing speaker or unfinished placement is a different point in the route.
Official fix and update
Remedy’s update 1.4.0 documents a released fix for this delay. The earlier September 26 “no confirmed fix” status is superseded. Install the current update and let the preceding dialogue finish before checking the final subwoofer.
This patch entry does not promise to repair every unrelated quest state or establish checkpoint reloading as an official workaround for The Complete Set. Recheck the normal ritual steps before diagnosing the old bug.
Report the stuck quest
- Record the exact active objective, platform and installed version. Capture the final subwoofer without its prompt and note how long you waited after the conversation.
- Open the Remedy Help Center and start a ticket from the chat bubble.
- Select the appropriate Bug Reports category and provide the objective, reproduction steps and screenshot or video. Support may request diagnostic files.
Version and patch status
Checked October 7, 2026: the official 1.4.0 patch list names this final-subwoofer delay as fixed. Older known-issue lists and videos can still describe the earlier state. No save-repair procedure has been tested by GameHelpBase.
