Bugs with doors in Redcliffe Castle and in Valammar

Hello!

Could you please help with following bug:

1. in Redcliffe Castle after finding Leliana I'm heading towards Alexius' throne room. There is a door which should open after turning grear right beside it. I've tried several times and with different characters from my party, gear is turning, but the door won't open.

2. Same happens in Valammar - I've found and placed 2 gears on their places, turn them but nothing happens either.

I play on PC through EA Play subscription bought in Steam if it helps.

I also tried to uninstall the game and install it again - didn't helped.

Of course I'm still on early stages (30 hours played or so) and could start anew, but I'm afraid that this bug would appear again ☹️

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, corrupted saves can happen. I had a terrible crashing issue on a single gameplay, and when I restarted a new character just after nada, even though I was playing same class and basically just a restart. You could also try removing your profile options files from your save folder to see if it changes anything when the system creates a new one and reverts all options back to stock. Of course if you are running any mods then they could be causing issues. Even with a uninstall and reinstall, you may try a repair local files from either Origin or Steam and see if it does anything.

I have heard of people having issues over multiple saves but it seems the majority of strange issues often clear up with a new character.....don't know why, but it is just the way it seems.

IIRC for all those doors you have to turn them multiple times to get the door open, simulate maybe real life opening actions for them??? So you MAY simply not be turning them enough times in a row to open the doors. I remember a similar issue I had with the dang catapults at the siege when I first played it.

Thank you for trying to help, but unfortunately that's not the issue - I've tried turning the wheels several times of course and it doesn't work. My friend played DAI on PS4 this week and streamed it on twitch and she didn't get this bug at all. Her character just walked to the door, turned the wheel once and it was done. I've tried connecting gamepad to PC to check if it would fix the problem, but still no (
My only guess left is that the savegame file is somehow corrupted (

@mcsupersport I don't have any mods installed, only steam version of the game. But I've already tried uninstalling it and installing again but from Origin. And it didn't helped. Repairing files from Origin and Steam did't either.
I've tried removing profile files as you suggested, but it also didn't worked - game created new ones, but the bug wich doors is still there. (
I guess I've only one way left - to create a new character and check if this bug would appear again.
Thanks for trying to help, I really appreciate this!
