The save you provided me with in DM reproduces the issue as you described @Supervisor. On loading up the save I find myself stuck on the “Defend the new breach in the defense 0/4” objective and nothing is happening, no machines are spawning and no workarounds appears to work.
We have fixed some machine spawning issues with this missions previously but your case seems different and still occurs in builds where we have our previous Tidal Wave fixes so I have created a new ticket for this.
This save will help us a lot in our efforts to fix this so thanks for providing us with a copy 
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience 
Hey @Supervisor and anyone else who STILL might be having problems with this mission after the November patch, being unable to progress due to machines not spawning 
We’ve had three separate (but similar) issues/tickets for this particular mission in our internal bug tracking database, all related to machine spawning not working correctly, and although we have a fix for this particular mission in the patch notes it’s only a fix for ONE of those THREE issues.
One of the issues was fixed earlier in development so all good there, the second was fixed now with the November patch, however the third issue (the one that your save reproduces @Supervisor) is sadly still in effect on the November patch.
The issue that your save file reproduces @Supervisor should be fixed now internally, but for the NEXT patch ._.
IF anyone else is still experiencing this issue please comment in the thread and preferably add a screenshot of the objective you are stuck on (or write it) and IF you are on PC it’d be appreciated if you’d be up for sending us a copy of your save file.

Platform: PC
Introduction: Hello, fellow Generation Zero players. I have taken the liberty of searching through the game files to find a solution to this problem, as I have encountered the same “bug” as well, and are currently fighting to solve it for myself as well.
Steps To Replicate: You must have played Generation Zero before with any% progress before the game got its latest patch. Playing before the patch and then coming back to the game will have move some missions ahead of others, such as “Tidle Wave”. If the player has not already completed the main mission “Tidle Wave”, the game activates the mission “Good Night” instead. “Good Night” being the last mission in the main campaign.
Images:
Here you can see how my game moved “Tidal Wave” back and pushed forward “Good Night”, the last mission of the game’s main campaign, thus rendering “Tidal Wave” impossible to finish.
Risky Solutions: Editing the save file and forcing the game to start the quest over from scratch by deleting relevant information is possible in theory. However, I have yet to see anyone successfully do it.
Conclusion: Due to the restrictive nature of the Apex Engine, there is nothing I can do to fix the issue for myself or others in a safe and reliable way. Until the developers at https://generationzero.com/en decide to patch the problem out with their own developer tools, the only reliable solution is to delete the save file and start over.
“Note To Developers: When patching the game, make a loop to check if the player has completed X missions in the right order. For example, check if the player completed Good night. If the player has completed the mission, check if any other mission leading up to Good Night has been completed. If a mission isn’t completed that should be, set that mission state to complete. Run this loop command for every main mission and side mission in the game ONCE when a player starts the game for the first time after the patch. When the loop has gone through all mission and fixed any problems, force the game to save itself so the loop never has to run ever again upon startup.”

Hello everyone
UPDATE: This issue has now been verified as fixed in our in-house development build for the next patch. The fix was verified using the 4 saves that you sent us so thanks a lot to @Supervisor, @baron, @PawnixHere and @felix.reychman for providing copies of their saves!
This fix should be included in the next patch (no official release date set yet).

X-Box player here. I was running quest and when I got to tidal wave on my primary character, the defense got stuck. I was clearing the waves of enemies and when I got to defend the southern entrance it stopped spawning enemies. The dialog finished as if I completed the mission but the log didn’t progress. Now it’s completely stuck. I have tried quitting out, fast traveling away and quitting, I even completely restarted my x-box. Nothing will spawn and the quest will not finish. Any help would be appreciated.
