scientist glitch on Questionable Ethics

[Robnoceros]

So you know how you're supposed to escort some scientists out of the spinning death blade room so they can open the door in the lobby for you? Well, for whatever reason, as soon as I open the door to that room, all the scientists start panicking and immediately run into the spinning blades. The ones that don't kill themselves then just run around the facility in a panick after I shut the machine down and open the door. I can't interact with them at all, the only thing that accomplishes is them standing in one spot and switching between a running animation and a normal talking animation over and over again.

also, and this is probably unrelated, but I've been having all kinds of weird sound problems. Mostly sfx repeating and playing for enemies that are like 4 rooms away, and some of the music is full of static.

not really a fix though. just a way to get past. never had this problem. my playthrough was before the update. for me my only problem was getting the scientist to go past the fan, i had to nudge him till he was able to move, then i just escorted him to the scan and i was done. never had the "mad scientist" bug.

oh and stopsound in console to stop sounds that keep playing.

Well it's 2015 and it's still not fixed? I've got the mad scientist bug as well.

Glad I found the fix, thanks!

I think I know what caused it... earlier on when you first get to that area, you have a security guard with you. I think one of my mines may have killed him. Perhaps that set off the glitch to make the scientists afraid of you
