Stuck in VEGA Central Processing (Close the Well mission)

It seems I'm stuck in a neverending battle in the room where you have to destroy the four tubes. I've looked up some gameplay videos and it seems like once you've destroyed all four and killed all of the demons, the next objective should appear. However, I've long since destroyed the tubes, and there isn't a demon in sight, yet the battle music is still droning on. I've searched high and low for any stray enemies, even used the BFG a few times to find anything, but there is absolutely nothing here.
If I quit and restart, it just puts me at the beginning of the mission again, getting stuck again at the same part.

thanks this indeed seems to work using the in-flight mobility rune :-) For people who don't have the in-flight mobility rune, you can also do this by using the pad to launch you to the ledge of the red wall and then slowly move to the pole next to the red wall and double jump/climb over

Ah, welp, I tried a third time and it worked???? I didn't do anything differently. Guess it's just a random bug.

I think that happened to me as well, not sure it was that part, but one of those head demons that hurl at you (forgot the name) was stuck in a wall.
Look a bit high up for any stuck heads XD

Has anyone found a fix for this? I've played it five times and I cannot advance :(

I have not found any fix other than to keep re-playing the area over and over until it works. It took me three tries. I also restarted the computer and verified my game cache a couple times during that mess, so it wouldn't hurt to try that as well.

Disable "compute shaders" and switch rendering mode to "gritty". It worked for me somehow.

Apparently there was an imp stuck in a wall somewhere, and disabling compute shaders made it come out.

Yeah, I have played that area 4 times. Twice it bugged out as you describe and I had to restart at checkpoint.

Just try it until it works.

I thought it was bugged but it seems not in the end. If you destroy one only you create and endless spawn, at the second more and so on. Just destroy them all and be aware that the zone is large. Wasted likely 20 mins to find a soldier running around at the lowest floor to finally get the checkpoint and the levator unlocked. He was running around just asking to be killed while i was looking everywhere. Lol!
