Can't get Hardcase Episode 4

[KishkumenP47]

After getting through the smoky part of the prison, I see Astrid's hardcase. I can't click on it, though. A youtube video showed MacKenzie reacting with the case and then the telephone rings, but that doesn't happen.

Try again as you may not have finished the story to get the telephone to ring. If not, try again from a previous automatic save. Good luck and haven't heard of this being a problem so perhaps it is just that you need to do more in the story.

It sounds like the script of what was to happen got off-track. If you don't get it on-track you will likely not advance the episode.

Go back over the video you watched. Did anything that occurred from the time Will returned to the prison with the detonators to his starting into the smoke to the warden's office deviate/differ from what you did in the game?

Did you "skip" through the dialog at all especially if you replayed after maybe dying from suffocation in your first attempts?

Was Mathis, and his comrades, where he (and they) were supposed to be? Was the voice on the PA saying the same things or anything at all?

I would expect that once Will got back to the prison things should have worked, but I will admit I haven't played story mode only watched a play-through.

Good luck.

I had this happen in my play through as well after dying. Quiting out the game and coming back from a save fixed it for me.

There was some weirdness after I suffocated the first time. Mathis disappeared from the tunnel, leaving just the dead bodies. The flames and smoke disappeared from the scene. I still had to find my way through the maze with suffocation danger (and died a dozen times) but there was no more smoke. Every subsequent retry lacked these effects.
