warehouse elevator bug
Have seen many suggestions to get out of this. I just tried blocking the elevator door to one of my "stuck" elevators before hitting the button and found something very interesting. While the walls to either side move like I am going up, looking through the door shows the elevator is not actually going anywhere. For me every time the elevator bug has happened it started with the game crashing while riding said elevator to the next floor. The crash always comes with a "failed to create dump file" error. When I restart the game I will be standing in front of the elevator like I never went in, and the elevator will forever be doomed to trap me inside if i hit the button. So I suspect this is not a bug with the elevator but the fact that the next level did not "create" and does not exist for me to go to. I really hope this can be fixed with a patch and these are not permanently broken for me now. Might be a good idea to just stay away from warehouses all together until they get this worked out. I understand early access and all but why even bother unlocking warehouses when they seem so far from functional?

Of course when the game makes you think you`re moving up but you`re actually not.It`s a common feature.The game makes the screen shake a bit,unloads the outside and loads the first floor

Of course you know this isn't actually the point of my post but you can't let one slip by without commenting eh? Everyone has talked about this like it is a glitch with the elevator door and I am just saying that when you get stuck it is not the new level on the other side of the door it is the level you just finished. Also if you block the door on levels where it is not glitched you will indeed see the room in front of the elevator move as you go up. When it loads into the next level your lift blocking the door with vanish, the door will be closed then open to the next level. On a bugged level you never hit the loading part so the lift never vanishes, the door never closes, and the room in front of the elevator never moves. My concern being if they cannot fix this retroactively our saves may be ruined by these uncreated levels. So it is a PSA not commentary on video game design.

Yeah,yeah,i got it.
I don`t think there`s any noclip command or hack to get out if the elevator;and i`m sure the devs know about the issue
I personally didn`t have any issue with the game
