Stuck in start house

Hi all,

It’s kind of awkward, but i’m stuck almost instantly after starting the game. my mother just told me to eat and then go to my father. so i ate. then wanted to leave the room. but i can’t. the door won’t open. no matter how i move to it or pressing e to open/close it. can anyone tell me what i’m missing here?

You have to use your lock-pick spell and cast it at the door.

Just save and reload the game.

I tried. didn’t help. So i just closed the game. started it again. created a NEW game. and gues what… couldn’t get throught the door again after eating. Also i don’t see any animation when picking up the food. just a few second wait before the food disappears from the table? is that normal? seems kind of odd to me, like an animation missing or something like that.

Still doesn’t explain why i can’t leave the room where you start the game in.

It has an animation when you pick up food… it’s kinda weird, eh… maybe try a cheat to clip out or just double check the game files, I dunno…

Seems like they broke something with their last patch. Even if you get out of the house, one of the main story quests is currently bugged and won’t start. This issue could be related to that.

great. first i had to wait days before i could play because of a mixup with the steam key. now when i finally can play bugged after 10 seconds. lol!

so how do i cheat to get out of that house? gues i’ll have to google a bit…

Thx for the fast replies!

If what Kiruthekitty said is right, you might have a problem with the quests not showing up too, RIP.

What system is this?

Windows 10.

So, i thought today another day another chance… I was very glad to see a patch when i started the computer. So i tried to play again. and exactly the same thing happens. The door won’t open. But instead of close the door now says press e to open… When i first target it. but after that it won’t open and there is no interaction with the door after pressing E for the first time.

I took a screenshot. it shows mother in a weird stance. this is how i always see her. looks kinda bugged. I don’t see any animation at all it seems to me. mother in that weird stance. picking up the food from the table doesn’t do anything but a 1 second freeze and then the food disappears from the table. Opening the door doesn’t animate as well. So anyone got another idea how to fix this? I reported it to support but no reply so far :frowning:

So, there was another patch. so i updated the game through steam. And it didn’t work still. still stuck in the house you start the game in. took me 5 seconds to test. stat the game and try to get out of that house… Sigh. to bad

That’s weird, NEVER had that problem and I played at least 10 different characters

Yeah. That’s why i believe the problem must be simple to fix. i started the game late a million people must already have gone out of that house. How can i get stuck after just starting in 10 seconds into the game :frowning: Checked the game files through steam. started new games. updated drivers. rebooted the pc. etc. nothing works. can’t believe i’m the only one running into this issue…

Sombody on steam had this. They had Tobi . if you have tobi go into Tobi settings and turn off eye tracking etc.

@Freygea Thank you for your response! But no i don’t have Tobi. No fancy stuff here. Just a 4k screen. but i run the game in 1920*1080.

Verify steam cache. That really shouldn’t be happening, it seems like you’re missing certain data files.

Consider uninstalling the game completely, restart your computer, and do a full complete reinstall.

@Jack_DeWitt thx for your suggestion. I allready did that 3 times. after each patch i redo this to make sure it’s all ok. So this can’t be it :frowning:

@sdshannons thank you for your suggestion. I allready did this too. Twice exactly :frowning: I had the idea since i can’t see any animation that those files were corrupt or missing. But this doesn’t work either. I tried installing on my ssd instead of my regular hdd. That didn’t have effect either :frowning:
