[PS5] Chapter 2 Power Cell Not Working

Ran into a progress stopping glitch while playing the remake on PS5.

On the way to the Morgue at the Medical Deck, there is a short left-turning corridor where the windows get blown out and a there's a brief decompression sequence until the shutters go down, leaving the corridor burning. At the end of the corridor there's a locked door with an empty power cell slot. The logic of the event seems to be that the vacuum sequence detaches the cell from the wall, and the player needs to find it among the debris and reinsert it to continue.

On my initial attempt, however, the power cell was nowhere to be found -- Possibly the physics engine blew the cell out of bounds? Spent a good two hours searching for a replacement cell, only to find out that other power cells cannot be carried through certain doorways. Finally reverted to an old autosave where the corridor hadn't yet been blown up and this time the cell appeared on the floor and I was able to continue.

    Hey Everyone, 

    I wanted to check if this is still happening.

    If so let us know the following.

    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

    Cheers!

  • This is still happening for me on PC. The power core won't spawn and I'm unable to progress in the game. I'm on an SSD.

  • Hello,

    One year later, yes, this is still happening.

    Playing on Steam

    Using Internal HDD

    Issue occurred 09/01/2024

    I have issues with some enemies being invisible for a few seconds every now and then, but that's all. This is the only major issue I had. And the worst part is, I had the battery. I was holding it with telekinesis. I drop it to fight, boom, battery goes missing.

    I have no prior save. 

    DxDiag attached.

    Cheers.
