Vault 111 door won't open

[joseffthered0]

I've been trying for the last 3 or 4 hours to get the blast door open. I pick up the pip boy, plug it in and hit the button, alarms go off but no spinning lights and door remains closed. I've restarted the game 4 times, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've verified the install, I've even diligently followed the quest markers and follow the tutorial business in case I'm doing something that's breaking the scripting. At this point I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Have you arrived at the final character customization menu?

I suppose not. The last one I seen was the SPECIAL point allocation.

You could try using noclip and just flying through the door (Tcl in the console to turn it on/off) - Or you could upload your save and get someone else to walk through the door for you.

Not sure what the problem could be as it sounds like you're doing exactly what you're meant to do.

I was going to do noclip, but I saw a reddit post that said that if you use noclip to get through the door it breaks VATS. Still, I should try it.

If you're willing to upload your save file I'll walk through the door for you.

No thanks, I know how to do it.

I meant walk through legitimately. It might work for me, meaning your VATS won't risk being broken. But if you'd prefer to noclip, that'll probably work fine too.

Oh, I see what you mean. Okay, we'll try it. How do i get you my save file?

Documents > My games > Fallout4 > Saves

It'll be.. one of those. Check which is the most recent and upload it somewhere like.. Actually, I'll just add you. Not sure if I'm allowed to link upload sites on the forum, and there's no reason to spam this thread.

I'm trying to get out.

If anyone else has this problem Signild has offered a save right after the blast door, but before the last character edit. Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3IU5Ss9_FzyZ0t0ZTRCVlRTTDQ/view?usp=sharing

Hello.

There is a known issue that if the door-opening animation fails to play, you may lose access to VATS.

It's not the noclipping that causes it, it is the activationa of the console.

If you find yourself in this situarion where you don't have VATS after a failed door-opening animation, I've made an Imgur album explaining the cause and fix: http://imgur.com/a/770N4

Here's a short textual summary of the fix:

1. During normal gameplay (not in VATS, a terminal, a conversation, a menu, etc.) , open the console and run the command 'DumpInputEnableLayers'

2. If you see a Layer there, note it's number. Not the hexadecimal one, the normal integer one -- such as '0'.

3. Run the command 'ResetInputEnableLayer [#]' to remove the restrictions that layer had.
