Stuck at Dreadwork

[Soul Defouler]

I died while looking for the Secret Lair, and when I clicked on Revive towards nearest checkpoint, i got sent across the force walls and can't seem to make way out of that area. There is a waypoint but I can't access any other place. Since I haven't activated the generator quest, the engineer does nothing to turn off the force walls. I tried /kill throughout the edges of the map hoping it would catch another nearest chekpoint but nothing. I also tried joining a multiplayer game but i keep on getting a checksum error. Please help!

same problem here. Im stuck in the quest "find the secret lair". i was spawned in the upper level near the engineer and can't go back because of the force walls.

Got the same issue but manage to return to the correct side of the electric fences by aggroing mobs of the other side and being killed through the fence.
I reached the secret lair but i'm now stuck on the next quest because returning to the engineer doesn't make the quest progress. :/

[Soul Defouler]

How did you manage to aggro mobs on the other side? I can't see to get their attention either. Which fence are you talking about, the upper or lower one? Did you try doing any of the tricks on here: http://forum.neocoregames.com/index.php?/topic/1355-stuck-in-dreadworkshelp/

It worked for someone on a original version of the game. Perhaps it will work here too

Distance attack do the charm to aggro on the other side.
Really easy with the grenade launcher that has a very far reach.

I did it from the western fence. There is a group quite close on the south east from the fence.
And dying from their hands respawn just before them on the correct path.
(It's quite strange that the nearest respawn point seems to depend on the mob that do the kill.)

I'm gonna try to the the quest on multiplayer and return to tell if it did the trick. ;)

[Peredur]

After many tries in multiplayer, I only manage to talk to the Engineer. Once.
Many players are online with a public session but don't want other people to play with them. >.>

So I didn't manage to do all the quest in multiplayer. But just talking to the Engineer to unlock next step in someone else session didn't change anything for my character progression. :(

[Soul Defouler]

have you tried making changes to the questlog like the suggestion on the link i provided? the final cut made changes to the file system. The file you want to change is in (Drive):\steam\steamapps\common\The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut\Cfg\Quests\Questlist_Gold_main_AktII

[Soul Defouler]

I still can't teleport back out of the fenced area, even after getting the monsters from the other side to kill me.

[Soul Defouler]

I heard the issue is that you killed the guards that were protecting the engineer before having the quest so now it won't spawn the quest update. What you can try to do is go to options and click on "respawn enemies". Log off and try killing the guards again to see if it activates the next part of the quest

Here is another fix to the engineer problem:
http://forum.neocoregames.com/index.php?/topic/662-find-the-engineer-stuck/?hl=engineer

where exactly did you die when you got over the force wall?

which group did you aggro? was it a bunch of riflemen and a huge monster and one of those with a giant ball.

Guys, the issue is resolved on our end already, we will release the fix soon!

@Soul Defouler: To return to the correct side of the fence, is went to the western fence, and launch a distance attack to the south east to aggro the whole bunch of ennemies that are before the fence when coming from the correct path. I stayed as closed to the fence as possible, near its southern end.
When I died, I respawned - using second option - just before the pack of mobs that killed me, in the field of dead worker rats.
I managed this first try so I don't think there is a particular trick to manage to do this.


@Megapull: Great news.
So the fix should allow to "find the engineer" or is it just a fix to the death-tp over the fence?
And, I'm just wondering, as I saved the romanis too fast, will there be an issue with the quest that should given by the girl - the one with the rat bones - or will it be correctly available to be starter after the quest with the engineer?

[DarkEnigma]

Any fix for the electric coils?Still im stuck on 3/4 coils.And i cant progress anymore

[Soul Defouler]

When is the fix coming out? I want to play already!

[Peredur]

I just checked.
But the patch doesn't correct the state of the quest when stuck on "Find the Engineer". :(
Is there any way to get it corrected or is rerolling the character the only way?

Almost three years and this is still broken!? I just got the game and can't believe I sunk 4 hours to get stuck here. Irt's not that much, but it's long enough that I don't want to start over. Any solutions? In the chat, type /FixQuest 16 did not work. And following the link above, the cfg reference was no longer in the Quests folder. Maybe they patched it out and renamed at some point, but I can't modify it if it's not there.
