Level 9 - Cave Tunnel Exit: Door Bug (Game Breaker)

[UnderRailer]

First, I'd like to say this is a great game. I actually enjoy this more than Fallout 1 & 2.  UnderRail seems that it has a lot of expansion potential.

Now, on to the bug. Reading the forums, I saw someone posted last year about the same issue, but since the post was old I decided to post a new thread on the bug since it doesn't seem to have been fixed.

When you exit the elevator at "Level 9 - Cave Tunnel Exit", Malcom (Gate Guard NPC) is in his locked room. When you speak to him, he'll issue you a door pass card, and open the doors for you.

I walked through the inner door into the room with the sentry guns, and the inner door closed behind me (this is normal) and then through the outer door towards the caves, which also closed behind me (again normal).

I then touched the electronic lock, and the outer door again opened. I stepped back into the room with the sentry guns, and the outer door closed behind me (again normal). I then activated stealth to attempt to pick the lock on the door to the side room with the 3 wall lockers. When I unstealthed, the inner door would not activate the bio scan to let me through the inner door, and the outer door towards the caves wouldn't open again either. I tried to touch the electronic lock from inside the room, but that didn't open the outer door again either. Basically I am now stuck in the room with the two sentry guns.

Is there any way to reset the door behavior so that they open again and I can get out of that room?

My last save is a little more than an hour prior to this, but I did so much exploring and fighting in that hour that I am a little depressed at the prospect of having to repeat all that again.

Thanks for any assistance.

There is always a way to salvage your progress in situations like this.

If you ever get stuck you can simply export your character (to keep all of your character progress and items). When you start a new game simply import your character instead of making a new one. Good bug discovery, I hope my suggestion helps.

Thanks. I'll definitely give your suggestion a try. I do hope the bug gets fixed though...maybe just a simple tweak of the door behavior that triggers the openings would work...I think the bug is somehow related to stealthing and the doors (or cameras) not detecting your presence after you unstealth, as I reloaded an older save and repeated everything without stealthing, and both doors detected me and opened as long as I didn't stealth.

The doors are activated by triggers which have nothing to do with stealth, so that's weird. I'll look into it.

If you really want to continue from your previous save, mail it to me (admin et underrail dot com) and I'll unstuck you.

You should be more careful in the future and save in different slots.
