Bugs / Foundry still turns hostile after exiting prison
« on: February 20, 2023, 07:17:36 pm »
The bug seems to be triggered by the game's weird stealth and detection mechanism. If one sneak into the supervisor room, sneak out again, get caught by camera turning red, then bump into one of the guards coming to check, a red line would pop out saying that the player's action has triggered hostility. However, if the guards did not directly see the player conducting the illegal action, they would not turn on the player until the player has left the prison, making the mistake incredibly easy to miss.
Proceeding from this state onward, the hostility seems to remain even if the player persuades Delma for access and removes footage. Killing everyone in the prison, closing all prison doors, destroying all cameras and removing all footage again before exiting prison also does not fix this.
Also if it helps, this is happening after I took the quest from Jack but before talking to Everad, meaning that I can't even talk to Todor to get out of the prison.
Upon inspection of the global.dat save file using a hex editor, the bits immediately following flags loc_fo_prison_caughtOnCamera and loc_fo_shouldMakeFoundryHostile appear to be set to 0 upon doing either of the above, however the state of hostility in game after exiting prison is not changed. Could it be that the game is checking for the presence of the flags instead of the value of the flag?
