Chapter 3 Broken

[Haxxer]

After comepleting all the fetch quests in Chapter 3, when I enter the elevator to 'return to the surface', the doors don't close, nothing happens, and the elevator moving sounds is in an endless loop. I tried to leave and complete the chapter over again, but the same thing happens. If I don't finish this chapter, and can't get to the archives, I'm outta here!

if you enter too fast the doors wont close, you have to wait a bit

[Haxxer]

Thanks! I will try that.

Save, go back in the game, and then it should work.

This is how i did it
i basically waited until alice the angel was done talking and once the objective pops up you can get into the lift

I haven't played the game in a long time, so I'm not sure if they fixed it. I don't remember how I fixed it, but I haven't had problems with it since I replayed the campaign several months ago.

I’m also stuck with an elevator that won’t open… so I walked all the way up the steps only to find doors won’t open how do I get to the surface!?!

The elevator is the only way to reach the surface. If you can't open it no matter how many times you reload your save, then I'm afraid you'll have to restart the game from the beginning (or just restart the chapter if you don't care about your progress not being saved).

Let me rephrase that: "(or just restart the chapter if you don't care about your progress not being saved"
It means when you get to chapter 4 and restart/shutdown your PC, you're back at Chapter 3 again because these incompetent "devs" disabled autosave when starting a new chapter by manually selecting it.

That is literally the quick/hotfix (enable save when doing chapter select) and they even can't do that.

Edit: I will retract the comment if they update and resolve the issues.

Yeah, I meant to type "not being saved". Didn't realize the word was missing.

But the autosave not being a thing in Chapter Select is actually intentional. The game even warns you about it on the Chapter Select screen. As far as I know, it's always been a feature.
