I'm stuck here too. It keeps telling me to activate the console, but I already did. I also brought down the two switches next door and even after activating the centerfuge, the elevator won't activate. I only have to one save file, and am playing with a physical disc for PS5.
Hi @Coin222 @xXIBigBossIXx @Villmark69tron5
To confirm are you playing on the PS5's internal storage or using an external drive?

PS5 game on PS5 can only be played from the internal storage. Just the PS4 game on PS5 can be played through external drive (HDD via USB-C).
Thanks

Playing with a physical disc copy using my PS5's original internal drive (not one connected via USB).

So I just downloaded the latest patch as of 02/02/2023 and the problem wasn't fixed. It still says to activate the console even after bringing down the two switches in the adjoining room, and the lift still can't be used after turing on the centerfuge.

Yeah I'm als playing on internal storage. I have a question to the others people who have this issue. After reaching the command room and getting tasked to reactivate the fuel pumps, did you go ahead and activate the one on the left first or the one on the other side which you reach with the sideways moving elevator (don't know what it's called lol)?

In an answer to your question regarding which switch I did first, I actually missed the one on the left at first and ended up doing the one I had to cross over using the gondola first. (I opted for the lights and door over life support. I like to live dangerously).

That's how I did it too. Maybe it's the sequence in which you do it, that breaks the objective? Maybe it expects you to do the left one first

I just noticed the issue on an Impossible run on 2/14/2023 on the Xbox Series X and S, both on the external SSD chip and internal memory. The problem was seen when connected to servers in Midwest of the US.
The symptoms match the other posts: "Activate the control console" remains as the objective well after it was activated, said console can be activated repeatedly without clearing, the previously activated tram has been seen to go back into lockdown until the save is reloaded, the infectors in the control room did not spawn after the fuel was restarted, normal enemy spawns in the centrifuge room did not emerge, the lift behind the centrifuge does not activate after the centrifuge is restarted, and the centrifuge start command can be pressed repeatedly without clearing even after the machine is clearly in motion.
The following have been attempted: verifying all consoles and games were fully updated, clearing cache at each change, installing on another console's internal memory, moving game from external to internal memory, and reinstallation on internal memory. Since it is an Impossible mode run, there is no second file or auto saves to load.

Same issue. Lift behind console wont trigger. Seems game breaking based on every forum and video I've watched there just doesn't seem to be a solution beyond starting over from the beginning and crossing your fingers. I honestly asked for a refund but Microsoft declined. Would LOVE if they EA addressed this. Not thrilled to replay 3 hours of this game just to ride an elevator.
