Got to Jungle before jungle transition quest

[Aryam]

Well I have a sirious problem with my game. I found myself in the Jungle before completing the Home Sweet Home quet which makes me arrive there! When I try to go back by the tunnel to the resort immediately after I appear in the tunnel I get the message "get back to the car" and after a few seconds I get "quest failed" message and appear back in the jungle!
This is how it happened. Right after the Home Sweet Home quest started I remembered the "A voice from above the sky" quest. Found it in the "completed side quests" list to see what happened after I found Nikolai's restaurant. I marked it as tracked quest... I moved away from the car till I saw the "get back to the car" message, and I failed to return and got the "guest failed" message. After I pressed space bar I respawned in the Jungle!!! Right in front of the tunnel... I can't get back because like I said immediately after appearing in the tunnel I get the "get back to the car" message and I respawn back in the jungle! Also since no quests are availible in the jungle and all the doors are closed and I can't talk to anyone since I shouldn't be there yet I have no access to any Fast Travel map as they are all unlocked by quests!

How can I return to the Lifeguard Station without Fast Travel or going through the tunnel?

Try restarting your computer and then loading it.

As I expected it didn't work. Since I got the "Home Sweet Home" quest and tracked the "A Voice From Above the Sky" quest the game got into it's head that my save location was near the tunnel entrance in the jungle. If you press space after "quest failed" message you get respawned at the last save location so for some mysterious reason the jungle became that location when I got this quest and tracked another. Thus if it is in fact a saved location you can't change it. Anyway I tried it and it still spawns me at the jungle near the tunnel, and still when I enter it I get the "return to the vehicle" msg after which it is "quest failed" and respawn back at the tunnel entrance.
Please help. It's kind of a category 5 bug (or 1 I can't remember which it was that prevents game from progressing and is not just annoying)
I already had some weird respawn locations after deaths, locations I've never been to before, sometimes even 500m from where I died. But this one is the mother of all respawn bugs. xD

there is one fast travel map you may be able to reach! get into the Truck and drive to the bottom of the slope. turn left and head to the overpass camp in the upper left corner!

if the gates are locked go to the building at the side and jump the fense and there is a map in the courtyard!

How do you verify the game cache? xD
Well I was wandering arround the jungle and finally stumbled onto a map that's accessible and returned to the lifeguard station and two steps away I was near the vehicle. :) Now I'm slashing zed's in th ejungle "as developers intended". xD Thanks for the help. :)

Right-click on any game in your library, then go to "Properties > Local files > Verify integrity of game cache".

Just experienced similar glitch by myself. I'm on chapter 5, just running, doing quests in Moresby, I talked to the guy in the restaraunt and decided to rest some, so i closed the game. Next time i loaded the game i found myself right in the jungles! But i was able to return to resort without a problem, so i'm in Moresby again. Overall, this game is a real glitchfest.
