Stuck in village well

[OZ*Slavik]

Hey guys, it seemes that I'm stuck in the village well. After entering I followed the path to the east, if you can say so. There was a lighted room with two mushrooms at the entrance to it. In that room I could get upstairs to the surface again, finding myself in Janek's house. After looting the room I decided to go back in the cave. Unfortunately I'm in a very small cave now with no exit. There is no path and no way to get upstairs again either. Closing the game did'nt do anything cause it save when I was entering the small cave.

Does anyone know, how to exit the cave or how to load an older save game?

Edit: Killing myself with molotovs did the job. But maybe there is a better solution?

I will tell you that. Thank God for that molotov you had.

If my memory serves me correctly the cave leads into janeks house, and then there's a barricade right next to the front door that you can remove. That barricade is what was blocking you from entering directly, hence the cave.

The point is though is you leave from janeks and not the cave

Currently got myself stuck in there on my 1st playthrough. I don't even have anything to kill myself with so I have no clue what to do.

I think it's a known bug, it has been mentioned a lot on reddit & discord by players who have also encountered it, it has been reported in the bug section on steam also but I'm not sure if anyone has sent the devs a save file containing this bug yet (they need a save file to diagnose the issue if they cannot recreate it themselves).

I've been trying to recreate this bug myself, based on what other players describe, but I cant recreate it.. what are the steps to create it? ..you leave the cave then go straight back down via the exit? (or via the well?)..

There is a lot of missing information regarding all the steps that need to happen in order for this bug to occur (because simply transitioning between the house and the cave isn't guaranteed to trigger it.. so there's gotta be some other determining factors that causes this bug to happen sometimes).

I have a theory that it may depend on which one of the 3 cave exits spawn, because not everyone encounters this bug (also there will be players who unknowingly dodge this bug by not going back down into the cave).

Stuck there as well. WTF? 7 years game has such major bugs? All of the progress just thrown off. I need to refund (though I bought this game as a gift)

It never used to happen, it's a fairly new bug that has only started being noticed recently (in the current patch, v1.4.2).

My guess is that something in an earlier 1.4 RC patch is causing the issue because I remember one of the RC patch notes mentioned an alteration to the way the cave exits spawn (there were supposed to be 3 possible exits and only 2 of them were working)..

I think there must be a 1.4.3 patch coming because some other recent bug reports have been flagged as 'fixed in 1.4.3', so maybe this particular bug will be looked at before that patch drops.
