Dishonored High Overseer Campbell Glitch?

[HappyBirddi]

Hey, I recently downloaded the first dishonored game. I'm trying to take out Campbell, but for some reason whenever I take one step in the room, the doors will swing open automatically and the guards will immediately charge in. It doesn't matter if I'm by the table with the poison or hiding on the balcony or hiding behind the curtains, they will immediately charge in. Is this a bug? Can it be fixed?

tl;dr: Restart Mission or Load into a different area and then back again.

The problem appears to be the metal gate you open right after you save that guy at the roundabout.
If you open that gate, then when Campbell and the other guy enter the room, they leave, Campbell for his saferoom and the other guy to check the gate.
Best thing is to reload a save prior to that gate opening, and instead use the roofs to pass over that gate.

first playthrough back on the 360 I didn't have it happen to me, second playthrough the other day it never happened. Today I've had it happen twice while I was trying to get the ghost and clean hands achievements. At first, i reloaded with the kennel doors but it didn't work, so I bit the bullet and restarted the mission, like everyone said to. Wouldn't you know it an hour later and I'm back at the meeting room only for it to happen a second time. Walk in, no matter where I hide they skip their dialogue and run in. Its honestly unacceptable that this hasn't been fixed since it came out.

It is so deep I don't think this is a bug, if you open that door (behind where Martin is being held in Holger square), then they Overseers will know that someone is about even if you are completely ghosted otherwise.

Why do people open that door? It is really easy (and more stealthy) to go over the wall with jump & blink.

now that you mention it, I did use the lever through the door by martin both times because I thought it was funny that I could just reach around a locked door. If thats what causes it I'm gonna jump off a bridge

Thank you all for your comments, I did figure out to get the scene to work. Surprisingly I just turned the game up one difficulty and everything ran just fine
