protective relay bug

[mmutants]

i fixed the fusebox and talked to finlay, did all that jazz, broke the lock to leave the room i was contained in and was heading back to reset the relay when addair killed me. i respawned quite far away from that room right at the top of the ladder that leads down to a fleshy bit between the two areas. i can go down the ladder, crawl through some of the vents to get to the other ladder, but i cannot interact with it at all. the hint prompt is telling me to go up the ladder to reset the relay. i cannot progress. i did briefly backtrack and i get caz talking about how addair is still up there when i approach the other ladder. i did also bait addair into the bottom area with me just to see if that would change anything. resetting to the checkpoint returns me to the same spot at the top of the ladder.
i'm unsure if this is related to the other mud handling room issue. i'd really prefer not to restart from the beginning lol
taking a bit of a break right now but i might try backtracking as far as i can to see if i can trigger something to progress again?

Same here PLZ HELP

Just experienced it myself. What Im assuming happened to me was when I was getting passed Adair, i accidentally glitched thru the wall into the room with the relay. When u go into the little hole like youre supposed to, it caves in which then triggers a few other events including the phone ringing. None of that happened.... starting over.

Hey there.

This is a known bug and will be fixed in the first patch. An option will be available to reset from an earlier checkpoint before the bug happens.

Thanks!

The game was fun until this happened. So dumb.

Using the reset to previous checkpoint DOES NOT work. I’m stuck at the ladder trying to backtrack. Addair also bugs out and does not react to the alarm and hangs out by your only exit killing instantly. Great game until it’s unplayable

Hey there!

Thank you so much for your patience! We have now released Patch 1.3, which will fix many of these pesky bugs and also has a new "Restart Scene" button. This will take you further back than your last checkpoint, but will free you from the bug.

You can find out more about the patch here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1622910/discussions/0/6426157204238891002/

Thanks!

Heya. Can you use the "Restart Scene" button and see if you can progress? Thanks!

Yep, Restart Scene took me a bit further back and fixed it:-) I have a sneaking suspicion there might be some larger issue with the ladders though - as OP described the ladder in this particular area could not be interacted with after respawning and I encountered a similar problem very soon after in Leg A (also "fixed" by using Restart Checkpoint)

Glad that helped!

Pesky ladders. They have one job, ONE JOB! Bloody Cadal, cutting corners....
