Game-breaking bug alert (mild spoilers)

[KamE_AleX]

When you have to refill the generator with fuel, that generator is supossed to be shut down. But, in my case, when I came back to fill it to power it on, it was already running and I even got light in the refuge.

So I can activate it, but nothing happens and the mission is never completed. It always shows "refill the generator" but I can't. Even killing my character doesn't help, but I can get the fuel from him again. Useless, of course.

So the savegame is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up (not mine, a friend's actually; lucky me that I didn't buy it) and we can do nothing. I LOVED the game until this point but I can't recommend it by any money, because it's broken.

This quest is broken indeed, but I couldn't complete it because of a different bug: I can't get back to the safe house where the generator is.
I managed to complete the nursery part, killed the ghost zombie etc-etc. but when I flee from the horde and leave the nursery, the door outside, which is supposed to open for you, won't open for me, thus making it impossible to get back to the manhole that leads back to the generator...

I REALLY wanted to complete this game, but I'm about to run out of patience at this point (and I already had to use the alt+tab workaround for the cutscene in the nursery, otherwise the game crashes...).

Did you scanned the box above the closed door?

@KamE_AleX:
We have to go directly to the safehouse to prevent this bug.

(sorry for my bad english)

Yes, and the Prepper says it's jammed, but I watched a walkthrough video and know that later he's supposed to open it so you're able to go back to the generator. :/

Remember that after the nursery, you still haven't got the fuel. You only got the meds to be exchanged for fuel.. So you need to go back to that petrol station where the guy lives with his son. The game won't remember you of that.. it will only keep saying that your mission is to refuel the generator.

I saw in forums that most people go straight back to the safe house after the nursery and try to refill the generator with antibiotics. lol

[KamE_AleX]

It's incredible that you have to do the missions in an specific order to prevent the game from breaking. The auto-save feature doesn't help, of course.

My problem is that I can't go back ANYWHERE, I got stuck in that area bc. that damn door won't open and you can't go back the way you came because of the broken steps.

I that same area, i had the same problem, i tried to scan the door to the left of the broken steps and nothing happened, BUT if you go further left of the door, lets say 50 feet to the side and 20 feet from that wall and do a scan it suddenly picks up that door and unlocks it.

I am stuck on the same mission, but in my case, I can't even get the petro to fill the generator. My previous character died and I can't find where the petro was next to his zombie corpse. My map has the green mission marker where i assume the petro is lying, but I can't find it on the ground anywhere. I wish it would just respawn in its original location.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

hi yea when Vikram finished talking in the cutscene and now the mission is stuck.what do i do?

[TheBeak]

This thing is broken to heck and back. I had fun but looks like my standard difficulty completion is at a standstill. Call Evac in Tower of London Broke and didn't finish that but the game let me carry on for several missions until it broke again after the arena. The objective for that didn't complete either, now I'm in the endgame and it won't really let me see where the next mission is or what I have to do.

Did you get all of Doc's letters?

[TheBeak]

I did! After posting this, the game started going on again, then I went to pick up the eye in the final level for the retina scanner and fell through the map. I got every single major glitch that was griped about in my playthrough. Ha ha! How 'bout that!

[RuThaN666]

For me its broke too.. Can is not where it should be.. i completed arena, landing crash, but i dunno what to do next.. Are letters needed for game completion of not?

[TheBeak]

They are, I went for the letters instead and fell outside of a building and it screwed the whole game up, ugh!
