Game Breaking Glitch Still getting the run around .

Post » Wed Jan 20, 2016 7:13 pm

For over a week now I have been literally / completely stuck on the rail road nuclear Option glitch(ps4). Basically i started the quest with a targeting HUD on which made me hostile (which i didn't know that was the glitch at the time) and the elevators were locked and i cant fast travel or leave due to the genius idea of the area being well , well underground and only reachable by warping. I walked around trying to figure out where all the NPC's were and the game auto saved 3 times and i hard saved one SO I HAVE NO EARLIER SAVE to go to . After getting a bunch of generic answers robots from the site that offered lil to no help I started talking to a staffer named Matt . He seemed helpful at 1st been he started asking me questions i clearly provided in our 1st exchange. I basically wrote what i wrote above and then some and in our 2nd email he asked "this happen on ps4 or pc?" . Then in our 6th exchange "just revert to an old save". LOL ,LOL LOL ,LOL LOL ........WOW!!!!!There has been a guy with a youtube video up on the glitch who has received no help and has been stuck well over a month. Please tag this post and comment lets shed some light on this please.

Have you submitted it with proof to the help forum and to the help site?



Just a thought.



If they're not getting back to you then that is definitely their bad.



Not sure what they can do though at this point.



It looks like you'll have to start over. Sorry.



Had a similar issue at Haymarket a few playthroughs back where I went in to the elevator and could go up and down but the doors would never open.



Had to start over. It was depressing.

If you don't have an old save to go back to there is no way to fix this until they patch the game. You will have to start over.


I do not have a PS4 but was a big PS3 gamers a while back. I have gone to the dark side.


If I remember right you can save games to a thumb drive. You might consider something like that so you will have backup saves at certain parts of the game for just in case times like this.


Sorry I did not have a fix for you. An OMG I can't believe PS4 only allows you 5-6 saves. This is a Bethesda game for god sakes. I have over 1800 saves close to 25gig's.

They should least send me a pay-check as a tester for two months of testing hell i found the glitch they couldn't prior to release that way i don't feel like I WASTED my 100 hours give or take. lol

I did send them my last save during the glitch so they can look at . Heres hoping they can do something. Will a patch help me seeing how I am currently in the quest in question? I asked if they could like just load my save push me foward to the next save point / past the glitch and then just re-send me the file.

Have you tried any weird moves?



I had one where I was stuck in the elevator during the Kendra kill quest and the only way I was able to get out of it was to get nekkid, jump and hit the wall with my gun when the elevator stopped. I don't know what did it, but I found myself outside the elevator on the 1st floor (fortunately I knew another way in).



I hope it gets solved for you and hope you enjoyed the game up to that point.



Me. I'm still paranoid about Monsignor Plaza, even though I haven't had any problems since the last patch.

Yeah i tried looking for areas deep inside the institute that maybe were hopefully considered a different area so i could fast travel and all kinds of dumb stuff like trying to fast travel while drinking from a water fountain to see if it would let me. This is how stuck / bored i've been. lol

I got stuck once in the Institute and was only able to get out by going through the FEV labs (again!) and this time coming out through the laser field. Pissed everybody off 'cause it made it obvious that I'd been trespassing, but it worked for me. That was the time that the elevator simply stopped working... or was it the time that I couldn't fast travel from the platform even though the software had been installed on my Pip-Boy. Oh, I don't remember.



The Institute is just weird.

Did you try taking off the targeting hud, and then fast travelling to the Institute, to see if that either resets or allows you to exit?



I'm assuming that PS4 only allows one overwriting save for the game.

yeah I took it off but I cant fast travel to or from cuz all my saves are from the current quest inside. They considered me hostile all fast traveling is disabled. I even took it off put it in a box and re-installed the game to no prevail.

What makes me think this is likely the OPs first Bethesda game?



I'm not excusing a game halting glitch, but how do you reach LVL 79 with NO saves available to revert to?



Not to discourage you, but there are game halting glitches in Morrowind (Feb 2002) that have never been patched (by Bethesda), so good luck.

I never looked to see that there was only 5. I assumed I could always go back to a earlier save if stuck.But just opening diff. doors to like advanced sytems etc. it auto-saved 4 times hence merking my saves .

I make a hard save every time I quit the game. I quick save at important points. I have had to load older saves twice now.



A hard save a day keeps anguish away. Sorry it's all I have. ;)

Have you tried that elevator to the dig site at the back of one of the store rooms? I used that to unglitch when I was being followed by one of the G3's who wouldn't shut up. Since it loads a new cell, the G3 disappeared and I was able to continue normally.

If everyone is hostle to you, you may have started the Banished From the Institute quest and you have to exist at the relay station you first entered at. Go to the room you 1st met the 10 year old Shaun at and go back up the elevator to get to the relay room.

Yeah in hind sight its good advice but what does it say about a company / product that you have to constantly save due to fear of the product itself failing. Would this be acceptable with lets say cars? or other products you spend good money on. The Matt guy actually wrote me back and seems to be hustling the forums to help people out . I may have been a little hasty to talk bad about him seeing how he's over whelmed by people like me having issues. I hope eventually my situation gets resolved. I may have to pull Super Mario World outta the milk crate in the basemant.
