Zalyssia still bugged (Spoilers)

[Hashi23]

I don't know about you guys but when I read that the devs supposedly fixed this issue, I was very disappointed to see that it wasn't at least for me. So I decided to give it a go and see if someone else managed to find a workout that fixes it, but the issues that other people were finding were completely different to mine. In short their issues could be summarised by the NPCs getting stuck and somehow tricking them into getting unstuck or killing them using console command and then the guy in exoskeleton suit will tell you that the fight is over and give you a welcome. My issue is that when I arrive the fighting is over and the doors are locked* (Also Gaffer is dead).

Edit: I just looked at the replies and someone asked if the save was old or not, it's not an old save that was bugged, it's a brand new one. Meaning after the patch dropped I started a new game from scratch.

Yeah still waiting for hamster to get fixed...

I have a different issue. I get there and everything is over everyone is alive, but the doors are locked

[Quickdraw]

It's more or less the same for me. Two guys in front of the locked door and fight is over.

Some people say its fixed. Some say it isn't. Do we have to go to a previous save where we didn't start the quest or something? Is it impossible to change Hamster and Ricochet's tech-IDs and stuff so they don't DIE at the door? Like, there are so many questions here. ;~;

I just tried old save, from Rookie Village and no change still bugged.

How precisely do you guys "get there"?

I have "fixed" my Zalissya...

My gamer brain wanted to get as close to the village as possible, so I fast travelled to the Chemical Plant and ran from there - which resulted in the doors being locked and the entire thing over, but still "distant" gunshots - however no gunfights.

What I did to fix it was, I fast travelled to Rookie Village instead, and run to Zalissya from there. Then you get to the area from the "correct" side... And I was able to liberate the village, and also do all the extra stuff afterwards.

However Hamster and his bodyguard did "bug out" and die, when they entered the gathering hall in Zalissya. Just dropping dead, the second they went over the (now) unlocked door.

Which side is the "correct" side ? The one with gunshots ?

[McGeorgeOfTheJungle]

Yeah seems to be buggy, for me because of the fact after Dagu I am inflicted with a permanent psi-radiation ailment, which means I cannot see some events happening.

Not played the game since last patch, so hoping that patch fixes the issue.

try using the uetools mod to get through the doors? it helped for me when hamster and his bodyguard died in the doorway and when it i revisited later the bodyguard was blocking the door.

Can you explain how you fixed Hamster and his body guard?
Edit: I'm actually stupid, and need hand holding.

I was done with the quest when the patch dropped.
Meaning i helped Zalitssia with every task (Hamster had his sudden death at the door, though), then the attack never happened so i left and received a message Zalitssia fell.
After the patch, i was doing my stuff in Garbage, when the quest popped up again, then Gaffer said they managed to repel the enemy, then started giving me ♥♥♥♥ about "shooting your own people" and warned me to never set foot in Zalitssia.
Wtf...

[Dad]

I managed to get the doors unlocked by pissing off a flesh in a nearby building and walking it as close to zalyssia as it would go

[Quickdraw]

Just got it to work (more or less). I went west to two closest locations, tried to lure the dogs but they just won't get in Zalissya territoty, killed 3 random thugs and when i got back door was open. Hamster dies ofc. After all this i think it's not important what i did but how much time in close proximity it took.

Arrived to Zalyssia to find the fight was over and there was distant gunfire to the north. Completed the side missions (Hamster, Dr, Warlock's gun, etc) and then had Hamster and his bodyguard drop dead at the door.

Is my progress ♥♥♥♥♥♥ now?
