Crates Not Opening Bug (Dead Space 2023)

I've searched for a while and only came up with a handful of people reporting this on Reddit with no workable solutions.

I made it to chapter 5 only to find that any locked security crates refuse to open after passing the security clearance. The interact prompt just disappears and the box remains closed. I've tried restarting the game app, I've tried stomping, punching, shooting, and kinesis. Nothing. No other save files to reload.

I'd try leaving for another area to see if that helps, but I'm locked in Medical for story reasons

Honestly, 3 years after release and published by EA means I have no hope this game will see another patch and I'm a bit disappointed in myself for breaking a roughly 10 year streak of not giving EA my money.
