Stuck in Dead City

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 10:11 am

Hi All,

I got stuck in Dead City - I completed the boss with the rocket launcher, got the new defib but I cannot open the gate to the sewer - it doesn't give me an option to open it. Anyone else have this issue?

I'm stuck at the door to get into the MRI room, it wont let me open it and I killed everything so I'm stuck just before getting the defib

I have the same issue with the door leading into the MRI defibrilator room. The entire level up to that point is empty, but I get the "red x hand" over the door itself.

If a fix is released, it should auto-update through Steam.

I am having a similar problem. I have killed the Mutant Giant boss and proceeded into the hospital, killed all available enemies and approached the security door to the MRI room, (where I understand the defibrillator upgrade is located) but the door does not open. It shows only a "red X" icon in front of the door. I have tried several previous saves as far back chronologically to before entering Wellspring for the first time; fought my way to the hospital several times and it still won't let me in this door. I have set the game aside for now, but will look here for updates on this problem as I cannot proceed through the game past this point.

I just got out of Dead City in this playthrough. The gate to the sewer transition message appears for me but I have to get right up to the gate. And when you get to the MRI room door you do not open it. It is supposed to be open. When it is open you also get the red x for an interaction option with it. When you pick up the defib then the MRI room door closes and the slime mutant punches through the wall creating your exit. So, it sounds like a scripting error: the MRI room door is not scripted as being open before you get to it or when you do.

Is it there where you have to shoot the gastanks behind the gate ?
I was stuck there, shooting with my pistol didn't work until i shot with the shotgun.
Hope this helps you out :)

No, it seems clear that the door is meant to be already open when the player arrives.

I'd give you a screenshot of the door but I've already deleted the save. I keep my most recent save and the previous save only. I am also keeping a Subway Town save kicking around from my previous play so you know I did get past Dead City.

OK I might have found something related to the problem. I loaded up the game and fought once more past the Giant Mutant and to the hospital MRI room. However, unlike my previous attempts, I made a specific point to not F5 quicksave after killing the mutants guarding the MRI door. Then when I approached the door, the camera above it turned green and the door slid open as I assume was intended. Is it possible that quicksaving may cause a scripting problem? In any case, I now have the defibrillator upgrade and can continue the game. But I will be on the lookout for more broken doors...

Adding info: I never use quicksave but I save often (including all the way through Dead City) by bringing up the menu and doing that there.
