First elevator in the game breaks the game
Hey!
So, I just bought the game and started to play.
And the first elevator that you encounter after obtaining the suit broke the game for me.
What I did was:
1. Run to the elevator.
2. Press the button to go down.
3. Jump down and take the ladder, which actually takes away 8 hp from you.
4. I've ended in elevator shaft and loading screen happened.
5. After the loading screen I am unable to move at all and I think I need to restart the whole thing.

UPD: After Exit-Launch sequence I can move again. But still :)

Thank you.

If you can consistently reproduce this, we can look into it. I also jump down and grab the ladder but I have never been stuck. It could have been a one time bug, but please confirm.

Hey, so I went through the routine just to check the thing and I was able to reproduce the thing:

The screenshot shows my position where I've landed before the next scene loading initiated. From that point - after the loading is done - I'm completely stuck. Character won't move. though mouse works freely. So, yeah, that's a bug. Cheers!
UPD: Oh, and one more thing. You guys have this achievement "Caffeine extraction" that says you have to withdraw cans from 20 vending machines in the game. I was able to achieve it by withdrawing 20 cans of drink from only 2 machines. Cheers!

Another hilarious finding from me:
In the Blastpit section of the game - right after you evaporate the Hydra by restoring power and pressing the button on control panel there's a specific timings where you can run into a door to your left (presuming you are watching the Hydra destroyed), get killed by that door and have autosave at the same moment.
This will result in reloading at the moment of your death, so you basically have to load your previous checkpoint save to avoid being stuck in a death loop.

Not a Hydra, but tentacles. I will look into this to see if I can reproduce it. I have not checked the elevator yet.

Sure. I've actually reproduced the "door kill" thing as above. And it seems that you're getting killed not by the door itself, but probably the explosion (or even something else) clips through the walls.

Gotcha. I managed to get stuck too and end up in a death loop. I will pass it to the developers.
