Critical bug on retrieve antidote mission

[Neravir]

Hello everyone, just wanted to ask if anyone had encountered a glitch with unopening door?

It's during the mission to Retrieve the Antidote, right after some rails in Science disctrict, you open the hatch 47 and there are two guards. To proceed you must posess one of the guards and use him for retinal scanner, but after the cutscene with posessed guard, the door stays shut with mechanical sound and even the gears on the door wont move. According to walkthrough videos the door is opening almost instantly.
I have tried to restart the mission, backtracking to other locations(hoping it would reload scripts), reinstalled the game, but still, I can't proceed with main mission.

It's frustrating that the game still have critical bugs 6 years after the release.
Is there any good solution to this?

Never had that bug before. Did you distract the Gorgoth guard with bats and possess the scientist when he was at the door? I did it just as he was about to go in and then had to reopen the door with the eyescan.

There are two guards patroling, no scientists. You distract one and possess the other, use eyescan, then a cutscene where Dracula enters and pushing the switch, after that the door supposed to open, but I'm stuck in between.
