Game breaking bug chapter 11 - Battery unusable

Bug can be replicated 

Battery to power the consoles to move the marker onto the ship in chapter 11 will become bugged and lock progression.

The battery to power the consoles to move the markers will be red and unusable in chapter 11, if during the earlier chapters of the game the player explores the hanger and inserts a battery at that point in time. When they arrive at the same point in chapter 11, the consoles will remained unpowered and the breaker box is also unpowered despite there being a battery already inserted.

It makes progression impossible and the player will have to restart the game or load back the chapter before they inserted the battery.

    Hi @ShiroUsagi132 Does using a previous save point help this load correctly? I played on a XSX and it was still interactable, if you are still seeing the issue could we also get the following information?

    Platform:
    PSN ID/Xbox GT:
    Region:
    Are you using an internal or external drive?
    Are you using an HDD or SSD?
    Date this issue started (is it still happening?)?
    Is anything else happening?
    If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip...
    If on PC, please share a DxDiag

  • It’s on Pc, the bug occurs when you insert the battery at chapter 3 and interact with the console. It’ll lock the battery away behind the panel but won’t power the console. 

    im running on an SSD, and no reloading a save file doesn’t work unless you reload to a save that is pre insertion of the battery, which means going back to chapter 3 

    My save was fixed by someone who reached out to me on the dead space remake sub Reddit. But the bug persists. Y’all should remove the battery that’s floating at chapter 3 to prevent anyone else from experiencing this bug. 

  • @ShiroUsagi132 I'm having problem with this as we speak I did everything I was supposed to do but the elevator is still red to continue please help

    @bceltics8 Have you tried these steps? Have you tried to reloads a save or a previous save point and see if that resolved it?
