Tavern basement key

[likho1eye]

There are two keys. One in the attic and one on the back of the Goat-like creature.
If you get them both before opening the basement door, then the door can no longer be opened. It will behave as if you have zero keys. Have to reload and make sure to grab only one of the keys. otherwise completely locked out and unable to progress.

I've collected both keys since the Market update and it's not like that for me. Hopefully it can be recreated by the Devs though.

I have encountered another bug involving the basement key. I grabbed the key from the goats back and opened the doors, then killed it. I then used (F) the corpse and received another basement key. After collecting the spare key from the attic I now have three basement keys. They're mysteriously multiplying.

I've also encountered the doors not opening despite having two keys in my possession, and triggered it once with three just to see if it made a difference. Something strange is going on with this key indeed.

I can provide a save file if needed (can poke me on discord for it too).

Also, not sure if it's related, but after killing the goat and ending up with three keys, using (F) the phonograph in the basement doesn't work, nothing happens. Used the console save command, reloaded that and that fixed it. Odd.

That's a good call actually, to anyone who encounters a bug like this I suggest opening the console, typing "savegame" followed by a space and then the number slot you want to save in (Preferably one that doesn't override your last save), and then just load the save. You wont lose any progress and reloading the game has a good shot of fixing many bugs.

Oh yeah I saw that too.

got the same problem today

Just pitching in to say I've had the same problem.
Most likely caused by collecting both keys before using them.

However an interesting little piece of info is I managed to get FOUR keys. (That's what my key count was when I was double checking I had the basement key)

I also reloaded and checked again and it said I had NO basement keys, it was no longer listed with the rest of them, at least making sense for why the doors won't open.

Got the one off the goat first, (still living) then the attic, then interacting with the corpse. (for some reason) The fourth may have come from me spamming the button out of curiosity after it said key obtained from the corpse.

Not sure it that will have any relevance in bug fixing but I can at least confirm that I couldn't open those doors and I had multiple keys at the time.

So OP is most likely right in having more than one seems to tag the key as uncollected or the doors as still locked. Perhaps its simply been set to [GET KEY = DOOR UNLOCKED] when one is acquired and another runs the same check again UNCHECKING it.

I'm no programmer but that's just a barely educated guess. *shrugs*
