Game broken
I was playing chapter 4 and this certain chamber (not sure which one) is absolutely broken with no way to progess. The texture for the fence thing that lets you shoot portals through it is textured like an emancipation grid, theres yellow boxes that have trigger written on them, the elevator just makes me fall down into the shaft, and after you get your first cube from the dispenser it's impossible to get another one. Anyone else get this problem?

this is actually an emancipation grid but it isn't sized right

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=478526048
only dispenses one cube and then makes it impossible to get another one

the button works but the trigger is visible

what I'm looking at isn't an emancipation grid

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=478525927
can't walk into this elevator

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=478525878
trying to get into it makes me fall down the shaft

Already tried verifying game cache, is there a dev or something I can submit a report to or email?

EDIT: Looked it up and the chamber is sp_a4_two_of_a_kind.
Also added screenshots.

Open up the console while paused. Type 'changelevel sp_a4_two_of_a_kind' without the apostrophes and it should fix it. It did for me. I had a different level name to type in but it worked he same way.

From the FAQ:

I see orange triggers all over the place

If you see triggers showing up, or notice other anomalies:
1) Open the console. (by default this is done with the ` (tilde) key)
2) Look at the top right of your screen, the name of the map should be there. For example: sp_a1_tramride
3) Type in the console: 'changelevel yourmapname' without the quotation marks eg: 'changelevel sp_a1_tramride'
4) Press Enter
5) The level restarts, and the errors are gone!

We've also made a little youtube tutorial on how to do it if you prefer that:

If you're terribly stuck with no way out, just open the console and noclip it out of there, works every time. May be cheating, yes, but it's so much easier sometimes.

Hey dev, I see you spamming this solution in all the threads. It doesn't work for me.

Oh bummer! Have you tried loading the level you were in from another level?
I'm having this isssue as well. I'm going to try your solution, and I'll say if it works or not.

Unfortunately, I didn't. Even though you were incredibly speedy in your response, by that time I'd already scanned the rest of the forums and decided the consensus was to start a new game, which I have done.
I do love the mod so far, very well done. Just wish I had some way of telling steam "don't update it now", which I can't seem to do. Can only set it to update when the game is launched, not update at all. I guess I could launch iin offline moed to do so, thinking about it.
