Chemical plant Lt. Mateus dialog bug?

[The Gazpacho]

I sided with the loners in the beginning, so I know I won't get access to the ward base in chemical plant, but if I approach the gate with Lt. Mateus and get pulled into dialog that ends up in an infinite loop that can't be escaped. Once pulled into the dialog, he tells me to pound sand, and im given one option "but why?", then he gives his speel, but then I'm given the same option, infinitly. The real problem is that I cannot leave this dialog, no matter what button I hit, I have to force quit the game.

Has anyone else ran into this bug, or is there just something I'm missing to get out of, or progress this dialog?

Yes, this is an ongoing issue. Just press Alt+F4 and reload the latest save before entering. This needs to be fixed, as it wastes Stalkers' time in the Zone by forcing them to roll back to a previous save.

Later in the game, depending on your choices - you may be sent there again, but Mateus is still there, blocking progression.

Just now having the same issue on the opposite gate of Lt.Mateus saw guards fighting bandits helped out, where after one bloodsucker after the other showed up 5 bloodsuckers later the, gate to the base is nice and open so I go in pass a few guards in the vehicle garage, but as you try to go past the main building the Ward soldiers attack you.

Found a way to escape the infinite loop, just enter: XClearDialogQueue into the console during the conversation. Dont know if this breaks anything down the line but for now it works

Just had this issue as well, how does one open the console?

Same issue. Found a non-modding workaround.

Pop around the corner and shoot Lt. Mateus in the head before he can talk with you. 2-3 additional guards will go hostile. Kill them. Afterwards, everyone will be friendly and you can continue on with the game. I was able to grab a rpm-74 from one of the dead soldiers too!
