I'm playing the game for the first time with patch 2.7. The keys in the clinic, and now the key to the Oceanhouse Hotel sewer entrance don't do squat. My character always goes for the lockpick. I tried Equipping the keys in the inventory, but nothing happens.
Is this a glitch particular to me, or am I just doing it wrong?
To use a key it just needs to be in your inventory when you try to use the door to open it. You don't need to equip them. It sounds like a bug or a problem with the patch. Did you install the official 1.2 patch before installing the unofficial 2.7 patch as you need to do this?
Yes you could have weird gremlins (seriously) and you will need to reinstall Unofficial patch after you install Official 1.2, I would start over just to be safe.
Trust me, most of the names I have been called you can't translate in any language...they're not even real words as much as a succession of violent images.
