Bug/Issue - Flooded Engineering

[Riggeotto]

I am at the part of the game where you need to swim underwater in the flooded engineering zone between these PVC pipes underneath a large light. It is very obvious that you need to swim between these to continue on, but I have been trying for nearly an hour and I just can't progress (it really gets tiring dying and doing the same thing over and over again). Otherwise, the game has been pretty amazing up until this point. Have only noticed a few issues like some things seem to be rendering at a different frame rate than the rest of the game is running at and sometimes your character can get stuck in certain spots if you try to explore a little (when this happens your character sometimes says the lines that he would say as though it is plunging to his death into the water); etc. but I haven't encountered anything game breaking (or super annoying) until I ran into this. For a game whose main mechanic is movement it is mildly infuriating to not be able to swim between these damn pipes. Hopefully a patch will address the clipping or whatever it is my character seems to be getting stuck on.

FYI for reference, here is a link that pertains to the part of the game I am talking about -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrdag71hcbE
I have tried what this person demonstrates in the video with no success though
Maybe I'll try updating my graphics drivers tomorrow and give it another go

I finally got past this after like 2 hours of trying in total... and it happened to be on the attempt that I was recording this bug/issue of course
Did switch the game to story mode difficulty though I don't know if that made a difference as I was still having the issue immediately after doing so.
It was literally as if there was an invisible wall/boundary preventing me from moving forward.
If there is ever a resolution put into the game for this, I'd be curious to know what the actual issue was being a software engineer myself -- this has left me baffled

Turning on V-Sync worked for me.

After having spend 1 hour+ to get past the Addair Lift Bug I got stuck here too. After drowning a few times I somehow suddenly could get past, feels like there is some invisible wall that sometimes loads in or something. Oh and now I'm stuck a few meters further with a "hold MB" trigger not working. This is the buggiest walking simulator I've ever played, did the dev stop play-testing after the first 2 hours? Went from very smooth to a mess real quick.

Like here, after jumping on the ladder it prompts you to hold RMB en LMB at the same time, but left is not being triggered.

I mean, Ive done this 300 times before and now it suddenly breaks, makes no sense
*edit*
Okey you ment to fall at this bit and barely make it when you dive up.

This is happening to me on my Xbox as well. It’s infuriating. I’ve tried everything suggested online. I’ll never touch this game again.

I just started playing this game today and I am now stuck at this point. Same issue, can't get passed the underwater tunnel. I tried all of the suggestions in this thread and still no luck.

Are the devs going to fix it?

So were you just able to get passed this part randomly? I'm still stuck here and am considering asking for a refund for a broken game that i cannot complete.

Just got to this part too. Invisible wall was blocking it and I drowned. Second time it let me through no problem lol

Definitely seems like there's an invisible wall that sometimes spawns in when you load that checkpoint.

Same issue on my end. Have been trying for about an hour. Talk about infuriating. This clown can't even hold his breath for a long time either. I'll give it a little while longer then asking for a refund.

Same issue on PS5 as of 8/17, how has this not been fixed yet?!?!

[SegismundoDumbledor]

Try this out:

Its an "alternative path". Be careful after crossing right, the following area has really janky collisions.
That section is broken as hell

[Totsacat]

Just jumping in to say the issue is still here as of 10/4/2024 on PS5 :/ it seems it's random so I'll try a few more times, but such a bummer (edit, the skip posted above me also still works so it's ok, but being forced to go on a Google hunt sucks lol)

I was stuck in this same area, wasn't able to get through the pipes, but was able to get through the triangular hole to the top right of the pipes, this lets you past, and able to continue the level.

To reference the video in the first reply, the hole is at 20 seconds.
