Game Breaking Bug in Labyrinth

[Giantkiller130]

I've reported this to Konami's support, but I just wanted to mention that during the labyrinth, after the rotten area, there is a bug that occurs sometimes where the labyrinth's cube doesn't deteriorate like it is supposed to, leading to you being unable to progress to the desolate and ruined area. When I reloaded, it worked, but now I am moving on to the last part (from the desolate area to the ruined area) and I've tried reloading and it will not work.

What happens is that I'll be lead back into the area with the cube again, and there will be a pile of debris and what I assume to be Pyramid Head's sword sticking out. I can interact with it, but the first time the glitch happened, when I approached it, it disappeared and the area reset (like I never did the rotten part), reloading fixed this but yet again, the debris is there, I interact with the sword and it disappeared mid animation. I've reloaded but it did not fix the issue. The only reason I know this is a bug is because after 2 hours of trying to figure out where I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, I gave up and looked it up on IGN's guide and realized I didn't do anything wrong, the area was just not as described. Thinking it could be the guide, I watched someone else's game play and realized it was a glitch.

edit: Wolfishmeat7 suggests lowering the frame rate to 30. I have not tried this, but for anyone else who encounters this and reloading doesn't work, then try this. Good luck!

edit 2: if that suggestion above doesn't work, try this solution from Lukisuerte: "It happend the same to me, but i managed to fix it by opening the map after jumping into the hole, and before opening the door that leads to the cube."

Edit 3(final edit because the issue has already been solved for me): tiaaguitoo offered a solution that worked for them, they said “ I was able to solve it. The way I was able to solve it was to load the game before falling into the hole, then jump down and when I'm in the hallway I make a 15 second delay before going out the door so I can load the broken cube.

Pd: Try it 4 or 5 times, and I did it with the limit of 30 fps”

If none of these options work, I don’t know what else to tell you except reporting it again.

Yeah, exact same thing happened to me. Honestly, the game's been fine until the labyrinth. Lots of things not loading in (I was able to glitch through the hallway of... fleshy limb things?) as well as the bugs you described. It's really unfortunate, the performance of this area has been abysmal but everything beforehand was fine.

People say to just spam reload saves, but that's really finicky. I'm probably just gonna wait for a bugfix.

[Giantkiller130]

I just wanted to let you know that the way into the last area of the labyrinth is NOT the same way you go the first two times—you actually have to go through an exit out the back. I didn’t realize this at first because I thought it glitched but before you end up not finishing, reload and see if you change the symbols to be the triangle with the cross pointing down. Then enter and try exiting through the back. Good luck, let me know if that worked.

That is so bizarre! Glad you got a work around though, would suck to have your save file bricked so close to the ending.

This happened to me too, I was not able to fix it even if I reloaded. Hopefully there is a fix soon

It's a known issue. According to SteamDB, developers from Bloober are currently testing new branch build which means patch should be coming out sooner or later.

fixing fps to 30 might help

I am also affected by this -_- Reloading previous save before I jumped into the hole in the rotten section didn't fix it. Reloaded previous save at the start of rotten section. Hopefuly it will work

[Pan_Grzesiek]

Worked but I had to load previous save before jumping into the hole multiple times. What a relief.

Bump, all my saved have been on one file because im a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and now im waiting for the patch

Bro I know! I was so salty. It's a shame because I loved everything else about this game! I hope they patch this up soon, but I managed to get my game working and finished it.

It happend the same to me, but i managed to fix it by opening the map after jumping into the hole, and before opening the door that leads to the cube. I watched a walktrough gameplay of the game and the guy did the same, so maybe you should try it

Omg thank you this fixed it for me!

[UAreNotMyFather]

Well my game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Yay. None of the fixes listed here worked.

[krumpciok abdulhammid]

Any other fix for this? Lowering the frame rate to 30 does not work for me
