Crankshaft Lock Tool Bugged!

[Ambrose]

Logged in this morning and took a job to replace a head gasket. got to the pulley boss and needed to use the crankshaft locking tool.

1. Tool seemed to not appear at first.
2. Realized whenever I switched to the tool my screen would lock position.
3. Realized tool was spawning inside character, locked on an invisible object
4. When I open context menu I can auto unfasten (pulls 2 BOLT M6 1.0 x 15), then auto fasten and it will take the 2 bolts back.
5. Cannot seem to find anyway to reset the tool it is not usable and restarting the game did not fix.

This happens if you uninstall the crank lock (or the camshaft lock or funnel) but holstering it or getting it out of the hotkeys again. To fix it, reinstall the crank lock, then remove it manually.

I don't have the option to install it because of the way that it is bugged.

the tool is stuck installed to an invisible crank and if I try to grab the tool it responds like the woodruf key when its unable to be removed. (little slider appears indicating its locked by something and when I wiggle the mouse I get some shaking noises.)

the crank lock will holster and unholster. I can switch to other tools toggled to 6 and they work fine but when I arrive back at the crank lock it spawns dead center inside of me locked in place floating in the air wherever I was.

I also tried picking up to tool after using the auto unfasten. This did nothing still responded like a locked woodruf key.

can you pack up your save file and send it for me to look at? I haven't seen this bug before exactly.

saves are in ppData/Local/WrenchGame/Saved/SaveGames and the file you want is WrenchSave.sav <- it will get very small if zipped.

Send it to [e-mail]

Sent the e-mail..

BTW gotta say I'm extremely impressed with the file size of the game. Quality and Attention to Detail as well. It's been a long time since I've played a game designed well enough to truly peak my interest. Keep at it !!
