Is anyone else locked out of medical in ch.5?
I just started chapter 5 and the door into security (the one in the big hallway after getting off the tram into medical) has said "standby" for the past minute or so. I've tried reloading the save and reopening the game but it just keeps saying standby. Has this happened to anyone else?

Same, I backtracked all over several times to see if any of the new circuit puzzles would open it but no, after looking at a video of the section it's somewhere we've been already and should be open. It's the room where we build the bomb to break open a barricaded door.

this is the door that is not opening. I reloaded a save and it seemed to work. I think the issue was that the game bugged out on me when I tried to go through engineering but the moving blocks puzzle was stuck. I triggered enemies I couldn't fight, went back around through the tram and killed them and then the door glitched. I don't know the specifics but I hope the dev team sees this and patches it out

EA Fix this! I am stucked and have no earlier save game!

Yep. I am very stuck here. I don't know what to do. I backtracked to different tram stations. I even try to reload the safe, and previous auto save with no luck.

what did you do before officially going to medical? if it's similar to what I did then EA can actually fix the issue

I honestly just was playing the game. After I completed the previous objective, I just went to the store, and then took the tram over. I went in that hallway and the door just says standby

Not sure why it does this, but this is what I've found to avoid.

Make sure you have a save before going on the tram at the bridge.

As long as you directly go to medical and don't go backtracking, the door opens fine.

If you backtrack before hand, it will be stuck on standby. Not sure what the trigger is.

So far out of my trials, if you do directly to medical, open the initial entrance, then you can backtrack and explore if you're looking for security doors to open, just have to go in Nicole's quest first.

Hope this helps.

had the same issue, check if you have any auto saves that you can load - worked for me

Happened to me but after about 60 seconds it fixed itself.

Interestingly the game "forgot" my progress and ticked off every chapter objective I had already cleared up until that point and then played some story related comms again and then the door opened.

I'm stuck here too, devs do something about this! :<

Known issue, only known workaround is to reload an earlier save from before the game engine loaded that area and hope it doesn't derp out the 2nd time; repeat if necessary until it loads correctly or just wait for a patch :S

I'm also told that heading directly to the door from the chapter start but doing so SUPER SLOWLY can also give the engine more time to load the area behind the door properly

Devs please, do something! This ain't worth the money if you can't play the game!

I had to restart my game. :(
Stuck there as well, just now. Tried to reload save...still having the same issue. All progress is at a stand still now.
