Doors Blocked - Prison Level!! HELP!!

Post by SpeedCrash »

I've just gotten past the Doors with the Glyph of Necessity on the Prison Level 3 Catacombs. When I go down the stairs to level 4, The Prison Level, the double doors after the stairs are blocked. It keeps telling me that "something must be blocking the doors."

I've tried from every angle
I've rested and come back.
I've used several previous save games to track back (3 times)
I've uninstalled then reinstalled each patch seperately, trying the door each time.

Each time, it always says the same thing, that it's blocked. Somebody please help!

This game, which had been trying my patience before this, is really starting to bug me.

Since you've done everything else try these also:

1. Right click on the door and see if you can smash it open.

2. Reinstall the game and apply only the latest patch (v1.3), i did that and i did not had any problems

It may very well be that members of your party are to close to the door and that they are actually the ones that are blocking the door.

Nope.. its nothing simple.

Nope.. none of that works.

I'm not blocking the door. I've tried every conceivable angle with each player with the others as far away as possible.

I've reinstalled the game 4 times, once with just 1.2, once with just 1.3, once with all, and once with none.

Ive gone back quite far in savegames and nothing works.

Always blocked.

Nothing works. I am extremely dissappointed in how shoddy the programming and debugging was in this game. It could have been a good game.. could. As for now.. onto the shelf it goes if I can't find a solution to this problem.

I have just finished the game, using non of the patches. And the only 'bug' I encountered was that at level 2 of the catacombs, same groups of monsters kept showing up on the same places every time I passed those places.
But this was at most irritating and it turned out to be a nice opportunity to boost my characters xp!
So I don't agree with your statement about the game beeing poorly debugged. I played it with a lot of fun and for many, many hours and it was worth every penny and every minute I spent on it.
