(Bug) Getting to the evidence locker in the GCPD station

[4cylinder]

I've just arrived at the locked server room door where Batman realizes that there's a jammer preventing him from using the cryptographic sequencer, so he immediately concludes that he should pick up the disruptor from the evidence locker.

Unfortunately, I can't get there. I wasted an hour trying to find a way. Then I went on Youtube for a walkthrough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ03W0M43eM

In that video, at around 44:05, the player opens the door to the infirmary - to the left of the server room's locked door.

But when I try to open that same door, it's locked. I have tried reloading checkpoints, no dice. I tried leaving the building entirely (going all the way back to the rooftop access) and reentering, and it didn't work either.

It's possible I have done something wrong (forgetting an action that would unlock the door), but given the number of other bugs I've already encountered (i.e. unable to grapple to the air vent after disabling the comm tower in Burnley District), I highly suspect this is yet another bug.

Did anyone have the same problem?

Also, if it's relevant, I went to destroy the network relays (except those in Burnley) before starting the GCPD mission.

This is pretty frustrating... the game looks great and runs well on my modest PC, and has not crashed once. But there are these game-breaking bugs that prevents me from advancing altogether...

P.S. One of my theories is that the devs put in some copy protection similar to the first game where functions would be disabled if the game detects that it's pirated. Obviously, I've paid for this game and own it on Steam, but it's possible that the copy protection could be triggered by the presence, of say, the virtual drive software I use.

I have the same problem now. Stuck in front of a locked "Evidence Room"!

[DrPepper]

okay - re"hacking" the server room door, unlocked the evidence-room somehow....

This isn't a glitch, you're suppose to attempt the hack on the door.

Confirmed - attempting the hack on the door a SECOND time unlocked the infirmary door.

ok i'll try it a second time no mention of this anywhere in PC guides or VIDEO's. THink some of you need to re-check the definition of the word BUG perhaps..... because IMO this is a bug, or perhaps a flaw in the game designers logic. having to retry twice is not what the designers intended so its a bug. or it would be mentioned in strategy guides.

You're right. One attempt is all it should take. More ...would be just... bad.

Seems like a lot of people did attempt the hack and couldn't open the infirmary door, and had to do the attempt a second time to get through.

Yeah, just realised I'd wasted two lunch hours trying to find a different route, when it was just that the door was bugged. Threw a batarang at the door in frustration and then it allowed me to open it... (no joke).

All hail the power of the mighty Batarang. Bow and prepare to be amazed.... :-D

Having this problem now. I've tried hacking the door five or six times now, and it's still not working. Frustrating.

[Boygos]

Thank you SO much ObSkewer! The batarang trick ACTUALLY did work!!!

Had to watch some gameplay to check where I have to go after a few hours of wandering around and realize that something is broken since all the doors are locked while the guy I was watching got through them T_T

[DamNicePants]

An hour of my life I won't get back. I see why this one got the lowest scores.

Confirmed. Throwing the batarang at the door works. It didnt work right away, but just keep throwing.
