Game is not playable anymore (Crank bug)

[KINGWARZOOL]

Well I guess this is the worst bug that I have encountered in game basically the game is not playable anymore and if you have encountered it please share the fix below.

Bug details:
In part 2 of mission Newcomers lower the central platform Amicia and Lucas must split at the first Crank. When Amicia uses the first Crank and handing it over to Lucas the bug will trigger. First The Diamond shaped saving logo with gears rotating in the centre will appear in the left bottom corner of the screen and it will be infinite. As I proceed to reach the second Crank and get through the rats I then was stopped by an invisible wall that did not allow me to continue my way up the stairs to reach the Crank. I have tried to reset at checkpoint and even closing the game but no fix yet probably it needs an update plus no fix was found in web.

Hello, thank you for reporting this issue. Have you tried to relaunch the last subchapter ? In the main menu > Chapter Selection

I have encountered the same bug - the dialog says that the doors are open now and I need to go and search for sulfur, the path is visually free, but there's an invisible wall stopping me from moving through. I was able to lower the gates further by rotating the crank back and forth several times. Then the issue repeated with the paired cranks - I had to go back and forth three times releasing and and turning, releasing and turning to trigger the scripted sequence to run to the central platform. Feels like triggers are off there. Might also be related to the fact I have actions set to press and not hold in the options - I play with KB&M and I don't really like this console pattern.

We were able to reproduce this issue on our side. While walking normally, the way was blocked but when you hold RT/Shift to sprint, you are able to access the platform.

The issue is being reported to the devs. Thank you both for the informations !

Be careful with the last part of the puzzle as it definitely looks like a broken script issue:

Workaround: restart chapter -> go to room with blocked stairs first -> when u get blocked by the unvisible wall on top of the stairs send Lukas by pressing alt+E to use the wheel -> go back down and finish the other room

i have a differnt bug i cant even use the first crank because they just stop and get stuck in back and forth anmation but stilll act like they turned it all they way without even the rats begin in the room watch vids to see what to do and they just moved the crank all the way without them stopping. but they act like they did and the game tells me to explore the alcoves even tho there is still the gate in the way

Cranks seem to be problematic in general - had yet another bug in chapter 4 with the soldier and the tar barrel. The tar barrel platform can get stuck and the corresponding crank can become non-interactive if you touch it before you lower the bridge for the soldier and before he uses his crank. Had to restart to fix it. Later on the same puzzle the platform with the tar barrel can go all the way through the second obstacle without you removing it and get stuck yet again.

Same bug encountered - sprinting does not fix it, can't progress any more.

If you use the same methods in the first game, one solution would be get Lucas over this crank, direct him to it and then you go to the other one. Thus working around another one of the bloody invisible walls, that I thought the devs had learned from the first game, not to have these.

Wtf, the developers read this forum?

Guys I found what worked for me - the lever was actually NOT pulled all the way it should. I needed to play with arrows down and LEFT to fully pull it down..

Simple fix, turn on V-Sync... had the same problem with a lot of the things in the first game, just turn it on for the part, walk up stairs... then turn it back off.. bug fixed
