Mission Control Launch Deck - possible bug?

[Fenris]

I'm on the launch deck level of Mission Control. I go to the door at the extreme bottom left, where there's an option to sneak up to a terminal. There are 3 countermeasures to disarm, each one you disarm increases the difficulty of the other 2 by 1.

I have Faythe at computer 6, almost computer 7. Disarming the first computer check gives her enough points to level her to computer 7, so I can disarm the second computer check. But she's got no biotech to speak of, so that countermeasure goes off.

I'm dropped into combat, but since there are no enemies, just poison gas, as soon as I end turn the first time, combat ends.

Here's the bug: after exiting combat, the door at the end of the room isn't interactable. Can't click on it. Can't click on the terminal either. I press the "highlight interactable" key and the door lights up, so I think it's supposed to be interactable.

Tried exiting the game and reloading, same problem. Is this the intended result, if you don't disarm all 3 you can't open the door?

I don't know if its related, but if i play in windowed mode & alt-tab out, then sometimes i can't interact with things. Alt-tabbing again fix it though

Hmm, thanks, but no, that doesn't solve it. I tried starting the game fresh and not tabbing out, loading the game and running through the disarm sequence again. Same result, dropped into combat with only poison gas (no enemies), then exit combat, door doesn't work. :(

Ok, I reloaded, and purposely only disarmed the turrets, so that I got dropped into combat with 2 robots and poison gas. I killed the robots, and then ended combat. The door was interactable.

So I think it's a bug, where if you don't kill something the door doesn't work.

I actually ran that encounter on a psychopath run with just gas and no combat and the door worked for me so I don't think that bug happens all the time

Hmm. Odd. Maybe something to do with me leveling up Computers mid-dialogue? Like, I couldn't pass both checks when I started the dialogue, but leveling up after passing check 1 let me pass check 2. Does that confuse the code somehow?

It's kind of annoying since although I can kill the robots, I value the Computers XP and the grenades/combat stims more than the 2 power cells.

AHA! I found a reproducible way where it happens / doesn't happen

If I disable turrets (levels up computers to 7), then disable robots, then TRY AND FAIL to disable gas = door can't be interacted with

If I disable turrets (levels up computers to 7), then disable robots, then RESET SYSTEM (don't try to disable gas) = door CAN be interacted with

Some weird stuff man.

Put that in the bugs thread. That's a good one.

Not that this was your issue, but just because this was the most relevant thread when I searched this -- you cannot interact with the door until after you attempt to enter the lander. I did about 5 reloads after fighting the countermeasures before I figured that out.

I also thought it was a bug. May be a line from the closed door would’ve helped.

I had this bug (I had already tried to enter the lander, fought the robots/turrets, but couldn't click on the door). A reload fixed it so that I could interact with the door.
