ReStory device stuck in the sonic bath

Safe checks for a gadget that will not leave the sonic bath, plus the official launch-week issue status.

Step by step

1

Wait for the cycle to finish

Do not try to remove the gadget while the cleaner is still processing it. Confirm the cleaning state has completed.

2

Make return space

Clear an available workbench or storage position so the game has somewhere to return the cleaned gadget.

3

Try one normal interaction

Select the completed gadget once with the normal pointer or controller action. Avoid rapid repeated inputs that make the state harder to diagnose.

4

Use a safe restart if it remains trapped

If the gadget cannot be selected after completion, treat it as the documented bug. Restart from a safe save point and check the latest patch notes before repeating the job.
