I can't go back the way I came in since the electronic door outside the bunker decided to close itself on me.
I did that too.
The trouble is that in the slums:
- it is dark
- the door opens and closes very slowly
so you can click the electronic lock (multiple times) and not really see / know whether it's open or closed, opening or closing, etc. and find yourself finally able to move through the doorway while the door is unexpectedly on its way down.
But then, the bunker
is a mantrap, so in that respect, it is working as intended (as far as in-game fiction is concerned).
My last save is from 3 hours ago.
3 hours all alone in the basement? What were you doing? The only thing I can think of is that you got hooked playing the
Games on her laptop.
I did that too, actually, but I didn't twiddle my thumbs for long, waiting for Nicolas to come down the chute (Tchort only knows why he has never
hooked up with been hooked up by Evelyn (and Hannibal Messer?) before now). One autosave on your way into the bunker; a second autosave coming up the ladder to discover the electrodoor has shut, means you have to go back to an earlier save game. Save early, save often. Software isn't perfect; make backups.
Something else you could try is:
- backup your "Quicksave" slot, just in case anything goes wrong
- reload any earlier saved game
- travel to Foundry
- go into the slums
- hack the electro door and pick the trapdoor
- save the game into a new slot, eg "Rescue"
- explore to "C:\Users\Me\Documents\My Games\Underrail\Saves\Rescue\lmaps" and sort the files by Date Modified; it looks like the most recently modified files would be:
- "fo3_slums.ap"
- "fo3_slums.uzdm"
- "FO3_slums_L1.uzl"
but I could be mistaken - copy these files into "C:\Users\Me\Documents\My Games\Underrail\Saves\Quicksave\lmaps" overwriting the existing files
- load Quicksave in Underrail, and you should have everything from your playthrough, with just the slums map "imported" from the state in your "Rescue" playthrough
If that doesn't work, try making sure:
- you are out of the slums map when saving "Rescue" and
- you are out of the slums map on the save you're about to import the slums map to
just in case the game gets confused if the map is blatted while you're actually within that same map.
