Death Engine Level is broken & not completable

[Matty B]

This game is currently not completable!!! It has nothing to do with the Indexsoundfix beta. The main game build is also broken. I exited the beta, uninstalled the game, reinstalled the main build, verified the game files, then played the main build (without any sound) and same thing. There is actually a few things wrong.

1. The explosion sequence at the start of the death engine level doesn't happen. Which means you don't need to plug the glass (no spoiler, so I'm not going to say with what).

2. Also the 2nd arm doesn't do it's pre-sequenced thing (again no spoilers).

3. There is a way to still do something else (no spoilers) to complete the level but the completion sequence never happens and credits never roll.

So now I'm appealing to the Devs again, but for this new issue. Hopefully it will be an easy fix and it won't take another 9 months this time. I just want a fully functioning game. Surely that is not too much to ask!?!?!?

Any reply to the issue?
I've spent three house in the night on stream with my chat just to understand that level is borken

[Matty B]

Yep,i spent ages completing the level multiple times on both games builds but without a dev patch we are stuck!

Greetings, Agents!

We're sorry to hear you've been having trouble with your missions! HQ has been made aware of this situation, and we can assure you it is being investigated.

Please know the Agency will update you about this as we gather more intel and can get you back to your missions. Thank you for your patience.

Stay sharp!

[Matty B]

Schell Games, please advise when you will patch your game so it’s no longer broken?!? It’s been more than a year since this game was a fully working title.

[Matty B]

Schell, its hard to stay sharp with a broken game.

Can you please give us an ETA on when this might be fixed? 2020 has been a total dumpster of a year & it hasn't been kind to IEYTD either. With no sound for over 6 months & now a broken final level for monts now. In both the main build & all the betas. I seriously just want a non-broken game again so i dont need to live in these forums anymore. Please let everyone know when that will be?

[Schell Games]

Greetings, Agents.

Again, we're very sorry this issue has not yet been completely resolved. Fixing issues like these takes time and resources, so we are very appreciative of your patience while we work to fix this.

Please know we are investigating the issue and do plan to update you as soon as we have more information to provide. For now, we estimate we will have more intel around mid-November.

Again, thank you for your continued patience.

I'm quite surprise there are so few people getting this issue (me included). Could it be that I'm on a Valve Index ?

[Matty B]

I'm on WMR Lenovo Explorer. I don't think the end level being broken & not completable has anything to do with which headset your using. Its more to do with events not triggering that are essential to completing the level. I have done everything you need to complete it but nothing triggers the end. The countdown goes but never ends the level. So frustrating and Schelle Games is the king of ignoring the constant plese for help and never fixing it. Its been over 1 year since the first death engine issues. The sound finally got sorted out only to have a final level that can never be finished. Grrrrrr!!!! I still hold hope that one day this game will get fixed. Especially since they are still selling an incompletable game to new players. Schelle stop the frustration and get this fixed.

The level works for me (Index). Had no trouble at all.

[Matty B]

Pelzgurke, were you actually able to complete the Death Engine level? Can you please confirm as per my points 1 to 3 above, which way you completed the level. The Devs need to know the details if they are going to fix the level.

[Pelzgurke]

Well some time has passed.. the explosion at the start went off and I saw the endcredits. I will go for some achievemnts this weekend and keep you posted with the details.

[Matty B]

Thanks. At least you got the credits. I haven't seen them since the Death Engine was added.

Hi Matty, I had exactly the same problem.

Go to the game properties (in steam) > Betas > choose "Compatibility beta" or something similar. It won't harm to verify integrity of game files as well. Hope it will help!

[Pelzgurke]

Could play the level from start to end no problems (Index).

[Setup]

Having the same issue. There is also no speaker at all in this level.
