Can't knock out bandits?

[Oedipus's Stepdad]

On the mission bandits I can't stealth knock out any of the bandits

[Kalshion]

I was just looking for a thread like this, I saw this reported back with the ORIGINAL version of this game and sadly it seems that still hasn't been fixed. I'm in the same boat as you. I can't knock out any of the bandits either.

I haven't tried going through the entire level and see inf its the same beyond, mostly since I've been trying to do a non-human kill playthrough (unless its scripted and thus I have no choice)

So apparently it's a save-related bug that carries from Regina if you fry any spiders with your flashlight; you have to redo Regina and try to either sneak past or PROPERLY kill the spiders (I did melee only after they flip on their backs), the only indication is the next level on bandit when you can't knock people out

Oh wow, I didn't think about that; huh, I'll have to do that when I'm off work.

Edit:

Nope, that didn't work. I've tried several different solutions (almost eleven now, yours included) that people have posted but *nothing* seems to work.

It is very pathetic that after almost ten years now, with this bug that existed in the original version, that it STILL exists even in the Redux and that no developer ever bothered to fix it.

Even worse, it was actually patched in the original, but they used old files for Redux which means all the original bugs are back.

Was experiencing this myself, apparently it's a common known issue and will persist past the "Bandits" chapter. It's save bound, so you can't fix it - you have to reload a previous chapter and try again. For me, reloading from "Revolution" and continuing fixed it, but YMMV.

didnt have this issue myself but I went through revolution undetected and regina by running past the spiders and turning on the lights. I am playing on survival hardcore if that helps.

The "E" and "V" prompt won't trigger but the knife melee still works regardless. Either that, or you can shoot them with a silence weapon. That's what I'm doing currently on this bugged chapter.

The chapter is not what is bugged - your save is. The bug will persist

nope, i replayed regina and now everything's fine

There was a solution somewhere in this forum, something about not to knock out the last guard before Bandits or similar, to avoid this bug.

I've heard different, they that if you don't burn the spiders in Regina Level with the flashlight that this bug won't trigger.
