Known bug? (Mission 13 Pitch Dark)

[Kyrre]

I wanted to check if this is a known/reported bug.

I was doing the Pitch Dark mission and I was on my way to Mfinda Oilfield. I was finished exploring Bwala Ya Masa and was heading north. I captured a small checkpoint and then kept to the west of the map. When I was about 6-800m south south-west of the oilfield running in the oily water west of the main road leading towards the oilfield, I suddenly found myself inside the plant ready to push the button to shut down the pump. I was as I teleported from way outside the oilfield.

Anyone experienced the same thing?

I just got the same thing and aparntly its a very old PC on bug that they never fixed. https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/comments/3k0jgs/insane_teleportation_glitch_minor_gameplay_spoiler/

It is a bug that happens to some people some of the time. I have never seen it myself, but I have seen another vid of the same thing. Only in that vid, instead of going through Masa Village, they went right of Masa village and ran cross-country towards the oil field and then randomly appeared ready to push the button to shut off the pumps.

I'm not sure what causes the glitch to happen.

Replayed the mission about 5 times now. It happens every time no matter what route i take. Oh well, no worries ..

There are some glitches in this game that annoys me tho. Im having a hard time doing all the side-quests of the main missions .. espacially stuff related to "listen to dialog". Arrrg! :P

Any chance you could explain what you were doing exactly? Did you attack certain things? Which directions you, and the camera, facing when it all happened? I'm trying to figure out how this warp works, and seeing how this happens a lot for you I'm very interested to hear what you have to say! Shoot me a message or a friend req if you want!

It's not tied to an attack of anything at all. This is a bug that happens with some people and not others. Source of the bug is unknown. I've seen this bug happen on someone who never went through Masa village at all. They come up from the start point. Go right on the road a bit and straight cross country headed toward the oil field and somewhere between the road at Masa and the cliff overlooking the oil field, they went straight to pushing the button. Absolutely zero interaction with anyone or anything other than the run from the start point.

I don't know what to tell you otherwise. It happens with some people, but everyone and nobody knows under what conditions it happens specifically.

Happening to me with mission 13 and total stealth mission 44. First play through of 44 was fine, but after restarting the mission it now teleports consistently. Anyone that was marked before isn't after teleporting
