Mission 4 Gamebreaking bug/glitch, anyone else?

[Naidje]

So I've encountered what is essentially a gamebreaking bug/glitch. I'm on mission 4, pretty much done with everything. All I need to do is return to the transit station. But the door from the systech lobby to the transit is locked when every single guide says it should be open. I've wandered all over the place trying to find a way to open it and it's impossible. There's no other way to get to the transit station which means I'm just stuck playing hide and seek with the alien in the systech lobby. I tried restarting mission 4 entirely and that doesnt work either. This completely breaks the game as I can't progress any further at this point.

Have yo tried to use your motion tracker and map? The motion tracker points you in the way to go

[Naidje]

I know which way to go. It's through the door that's supposed to be open. Except the door is locked and I can't get past. I'm not lost, the game glitched out. Every guide and lets play shows this door being open, but for me it's locked.

At the very beginning of the game I couldn't got to Taylor because the door leading to her was closed too. I had to start the game from the beginning. Fortunately for me, that was only few minutes of time wasted. I feel sorry for you.

[Naidje]

Yeah, screw that. I refuse to start over from scratch. I guess I'll just put the game down for a few days or play the DLC and hope the next update fixes things.

I see you tried restarting the mission, I think that should solve this. Strange. I don't think restarting the whole game could have an effect on a door not being triggered.

I had the same problem. Saved the game in front of the elevator door. After reloading, a Walking Joe came out of the elevator, leaving the door open.
I don't know how i triggered it, but it worked for me.

Playing the game in 2020, and had the exact same problem. So frustrating. Is it really impossible to solve?

Could you find the part you're stuck on in a Youtube playthrough and show me?

Looks like the scripting failed to load properly during the elevator/loading screen transition.

The fix is simple. Drop all your graphics down to minimum, reload your previous save, go through the elevator loading screen, put your graphics back up to whatever you usually have them at.

Also make sure your FPS is locked at 60 when playing this game. If your FPS goes above 60 it can cause scripting issues. That's a bug that happens with lots of games, most notably anything ever made by Bethesda.

You mean the elevator that gives me acess to the systech lobby, right?

How do I lock the FPS at 60? Is there an in-game option?

I do it with V-sync in the graphics options. Switching it on locks my FPS to 60 in every game.

I did what you yold me, and got the same problem. I'm asking a refund for the game.
Thanks, anyway, for the help.

Fair enough. It's strange though, in the 5 years I've been on this forum, I've never seen anybody have this bug before. I see them have it much later in the game with a different elevator and dropping the graphics down to minimum always fixes it, but never here.

Damn i am facing the same problem and steam won’t let me get my refund due to over 2 hours play game. I am kinda pissed off with half baked game like this. I do re run the game for mission 4 still the bug exists.
