Go into scan mode and see if you can hear the jobbie that you scan when you've unlocked everything. I've come across this issue but it was a vault I had already opened and forgot about.

OK I dont want this to be or sound critical.......


Every single post about non working Data Vault(s) has turned out to be because it was already visited.

Do a google search for the vaults and you will find a web site for timeline entry against vault location..check that.

The vaults reset after a time but remain empty so it looks like you come across a Bugged one but you havent you have already been there

Could it be that I had already visited it and forgot it and now it's empty?

Almost certainly so. Happened to me too. Had just one left to complete the mission. And there it was. Like, I was 100% certain I haven't opened it. No, 200%. It was getting infuriating. Then, I found the last one in another sector. There are just too few variations of them to be memorable, quite easy to forget which one you've already visited. Placing and naming nav beacons helps.

I always drop a nav beacon next to each data vault, and I always name it either "unopened" or "opened" data vault. Because the worst thing is to try and fix a data vault that you already visited.

I understand, but I have made the accounts that without this I am 27 to be beaten so I think there will be no believe?

In the end I opened them all, and nothing?
Why?
I can't even find the date?

In the end I found 27 out of 28.
One is missing.
In "Hatikvahs Choise III" and in "Trinity Sanctum III" they are empty.
Now I have followed all the guide where to find them, I miss these two that are empty inside.
Now I ask you, why this situation? Is there anyone maybe hiding around that could help me?
Thank you

In my experience, and as someone else has pointed out before, when a vault seems to be closed but it's empty in the end, it's just a matter of you having been there already OR you missed the door with the data (or the button to open it).

I can advice you to use https://www.yekbot.com/x4-foundations-d ... locations/ to get the data vault locations and check your current timeline against the list to find the ones you are missing. It's a bit tedious, but it should do. When you find them, just re-check every button and door (remeber to be in "scan" mode to hear the noise).
As a final notice, you can try to clip through a closed door using a small ship (or better in the suite) at high velocity and find if the data is really inside the vault or not (save before you try as you could remain stuck inside the closed door).

Would be nice to have vaults remember their open/closed state to avoid confusion like this.

Anyway, iirc you can use scan mode near the vault and if you don't hear that leak noise then you have opened it earlier. Was some time ago so not entirely sure how but there is a way to see if the vault has been picked clean from the outside.

Thanks for everything, this was the answer I was looking for, thanks again, one was missing.
