[Steam] Quarantine Soft lock Bug in Flight Lounge

I am facing this issue as well on the steam deck. I guess I ran a little too fast and made it past the door, and to the second door before the quarantine finally activated.

How do I upload my save files so you can triage the issue?

Why not code it so that if the player comes back, the doors will lock with a quarantine.

I am not talking about soft fixes like replaying the entire game (really?)

I want a real fix for all the soft locks.

Its crazy how none of these game breaking bugs were caught before release.

I even tried completing a sub mission and going from one end of the map to the other on the tram and going outside into space and none of that worked.

I even tried generating a save from outside the lounge room to try to reset the logic, but none of this works.

    @pawn69 When it comes to save files, we don't have the ability to change what happened in your game. There are troubleshooting steps for the Steam Deck on Steam's official site that relate to this with DS and other titles but we essentially cannot alter a game save file for any game.

    As for the feedback you provided. I will go ahead and send that up to the team so that they can take a look at any possible changes in the future around issues such as this one.

    Cheers!

    Hello @EA_Shepard,

    I have the same issue, two days ago I got to the part where there should be a quarantine triggered just before meeting with Kyne at the hangar bay. After two days of trying, nothing works, so I went online to try to find a solution and I found that there are tons of players going through the same problem, the most recommended solution is to restart the game if you don't have any save file near to that chapter. This seems to be an old issue so I wonder when is EA going to finally push a patch or update that fixes this? 

    Best Regards,

    @Sin3a7er Yeah i get it, I did the same thing and went online to find workarounds. The reality is that there arent any further updates to this game and it would take quite a bit for them to make one. So, now what we have to do is find a workaround that does work. That will be a simple trial and error. Sadly what I noticed when the game was being updated was that after certain updates a new game would work but any current saved game would still have issues. Ultimately causing a new game with no old saves to be played anyway.
