Can't Press Elevator Button to Go Down

[Jturners]

I'm on the final mission of the game and need to get down an elevator shaft. I use my whip to remove debris so I keep going down with elevator life however the option to go down is not showing up. I can still press the button to go up. In YouTube videos I looked up people are able to press the down button. Literally can't finish the game

You flipped the power switch too?

[Jturners]

yep, If you go to 16:05 in this youtube video you notice the player pressing the button to go down, in my game I can only press the top and middle buttons

Same here playing on gamepass, the -1 button can't be activated after clearing debris. and jumping down results in instant death.

I fixed it by quiting the game. Then go to game states en reverted my save to my only other save I had in Iraq. This fixed the elevator button. Hope this helps. Did lose about 10 minutes of progress though...

[Jturners]

Thank you that worked, although my only other recent save was an hour back

Not possible for me, since the occurence I 100%ed every other zone, hoping somehow Iraq would reset, but nothing. Still stuck.

I have this problem too and a i cant reset the level. Another save is usless.

Something worth trying. Not sure if it will work, but it looks like it reloads the map.

1. Press tild key (~) to show the console.
2. Type command LoadEmptyMap and press return key.
3. Black screen will appear and UI game menu.
4. Select "Continue".
5. The map reloads from your last saved position.

Also something else to try.
1. Open journal > Travels
2. Fast travel to any location e.g. Marshall College
3. Once successfully traveled to another location, do the same thing to travel back to Iraq.

Progress is lost, but seems like a good way to maybe reinitialize the triggers on a map.

[Drexau]

Traveling to another location and back puts you back to the last saved position on that map, so in the ziggurat t puts me right in front of the empty elevator shaft.
In the meantime I made it to the bottom, but the door can only be opened with GIna, but she is up in the elevator so Indy waits endlessly at the door.

I tried that command in the console and it doesn't solve either.

Same problem for me. Nice...

There is a 30 minute rollback option in the game menu. See this support doc:

After 30 minutes you cannot go back. Just one option to restart the level would be enough. It's a shame that I have to give up the game because I can't finish it and there is still no solution.

Just happened to me, and I can't go any further, sucks. Hopefully this gets fixed, it's literally game breaking. PLEASE FIX THIS!
