Stuck in "We don't go to Ravenholm"

[Andrea81]

I've just helped the guys in the garage. Leon (the black one) says me to follow him. When the door opens and the woman appears he enter the room but he doesn't move anymore!! He seems to be stuck in the middle of the door, I can't go in and do anything. I tried to upload preview games, I also tried to start from the chapter before but nothing has changed. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot

[QuarterLife]

I have this same problem. I tried using noclipping to walk past him, but i still can't do anything because I think he needs to contact Alyx. He just stands there like an idiot.

Help please! :(

[Gollan]

Whenever a game character stops interacting with me I just walk up to them and press 'E' (use). They start interacting again. So far it has worked every time. I've also found that I can push characters who are standing in my way.

[QuarterLife]

Tried it, doesn't work. He doesn't respond at all.

[AntiAnto]

Try this:
Upload a previous saved game. Then when he begins to walk, just put yourself in his way so he can't reach the door.
It may fix the bug. I don't know.

[QuarterLife]

Tried that too. If you're in his way, he pushes you.

[QuarterLife]

Does anyone have a savegame from just after this area?

[QuarterLife]

If someone doesnt have a savegame, is there anyway to skip this level? Whats supposed to happen anyway? I assume he goes in and contacts Alyx.

[QuarterLife]

Andrea, did you solve this problem?

[Andrea81]

No, I didn't solve anything, I tried to kill him with all my weapons, I tried to blow up the room with frags but nothing changes!!! The savegame just after this moment is the best idea I heard untill now. Even better... a savegame where the black guy has started to walk to reach the radio (I don't want to lose nothing of this great game). Unfortunately this bug is very very boring.

There's two options:

First option is that you switch on the cheats and go to the next loading point and miss maybe a minute or two of the game.

Second option is that I can send you a savegame from a couple of seconds after the bug. They are between 0.3 meg to 10 meg in size.

Tell me which you want. :E

[pmaquoi]

the seame trouble with me
stuck with this stupid NPC just in front of me

[Andrea81]

Please send me the saved game. Send it to andreagrazzi@tin.it and to andreagrazzi@hotmail.com. Use both the addresses please to make sure the file arrives. Thank you very much for your help. Please do it as soon as possible ...I want to play! :)

[Andrea81]

if you can't send the saved games to the first 2 addresses (10 mb are a little big sized...) please try at mario.grazzi@tin.it. It should work. LEt me know

[doomed - uk]

Okay, I'll do it soon. :)

Just a thought, if your where I think you are, check there is nothing blocking his path, like a box or something. If there is, clear it with the manipulator and he will carry on. This si what cause this one for me

I've sent you the quicksave file and the picture that goes with it to both e-mail addresses. Each e-mail is just over 2 megs in size.

Hope it works. :)

I can e-mail you both the same quicksave file as I e-mailed Andrea81.

It's saved the moment the guy moves and just before the alien speaks so you miss nothing.

[Andrea81]

Well, the guy's stuck again, now two steps forward!! I hate this guy, I think it won't work at all. I also tried to clear the way, I destroyed and moved everything and nothing changes. I can't believe in this tremendous bug! In a game like Half life 2!! Doomed, please send me a quicksave just out of this room, I think it's the only way. Thx a lot

There is something else you can do, but its a slight spoiler.

If you go to the door diagonally opposite from the door you are stuck by, then no clip into the next room, its a loading area. If you un-noclip, it should start you loading.

[Andrea81]

1/ I don't know how to use codes
2/ I would like to finish the game avoiding any kind of codes (why should I use them?)
3/ A location that I can't pass without codes? This is ridicoulous!!!

Cheats will be my last try, I hope to find a regular way to pass through it even if I'm really pissed off of this bug.

[ahm303]

that happened to me. i ended up restarting the chapter and when i got to him the second time he was ok. its happened with a few characters and ive had to do that every time. sucks but what can you do?

Ok, I sent you a new savegame.

I sent the savegame you wanted, and instructions on where the files go. It's about 0.5 meg so it will only take a minute even on 56k to download.

[QuarterLife]

I used noclip to skip past him.

Can someome PM me a quick synopsis of what happens in that scene please? (What does Alyx tell you, etc)

[QuarterLife]

OH, FFS!

I think its happened AGAIN! Now at the lighthouse, after you shoot down the gunship, the white medic guy tells you to "follow him", then doesn't move!

ARGH STUPID BUGS!

[QuarterLife]

My impressions of HL2 were sky high after the first bit in city 17, but keep dropping and dropping...

[tobbknodd]

The same thing happened to me so I nocliped to the next level, but now I can´t turn of noclip!!! What to do?

[Andrea81]

Ok, I sent you a new savegame.

Thx mate for your help, with this quicksave I can play. I can't still believe this bug but it seems I'm not the only one.

[tobbknodd]

@doomed - UK
Could U please send the same savegame as U sent to Andrea81 to me since i´m stuck at the same place...
mail it to tobbknodd@hotmail.com

thanx

[doomed - uk]

Andrea 81, glad I could help.

tobbknodd, I sent you the same files.

[doomed - uk]

OH, FFS!

ARGH STUPID BUGS!

He goes down to the basement and opens the door, then you go out onto the cliff face and have to jump some gaps. Noclip sounds like it would work.

[Velta Shawning]

hi guys please send also to me the saved file for hl2 .
thanks bye bye

[Velta Shawning]

sorry , my e-mail is andreagrant83@hotmail.com

[doomed - uk]

I've sent you the files.

It's also possible to use cheat codes to restart maybe 5 or 10 minutes before the bug and doing that has fixed the bug for other people having a similar problem on a different level.

[fulja]

can you send me the file too?

fulja2004@yahoo.com

filesize doesn't matter

[doomed - uk]

Just did that. Hope it's the right savegame.

I think it's probably better for people to use map codes.

[CanopuS]

I had this problem but I walked around nearby playing with objects and breaking crates and eventually he said "Come this way" and walked off, if this at all helps anyone whatsoever :D

[badillin]

i have the exact same problem... can anyone send me the save file to - badillin@yahoo.com -??? Thanks!!!

ive searched for solutions for this bug in a lot of forums and this seems to be the only way to fix it...

[doomed - uk]

I've sent you the same savegame as well.

[PKP Trinity]

Yanno ... This happened to me as well ... I sat there thinking "Well, I'm waiting" and after prolly about 30 seconds he finally said "Come this way" ...

Curious how long people are waiting before getting frustrated and thinking their game is bad.

[moose1973]

Please can you send the save game (leon in doorway) to svenskpaul@yahoo.co.uk? very much appreciated....

[Reaperman]

... its really this widespread?


i NEVER had this problem..... ever!

[doomed - uk]

moose,

Sent you the savegame.

[moose1973]

Thanks you very much.... Now I can get on and enjoy the rest of HL2

[moose1973]

Actually, Andrea81 found when I sent her this file, even though Leon works for me, he still fails to work for someone with the problem. So I sent her the file just after that, same one I sent you.

If you really want to see that section, try using a map code.

Map codes often seem to wake up the AI characters.

Load the game where you are stuck. Hit "escape" to see the options, then press the key to the top left of your keyboard next to 1. This brings up the console. Look to the top right of you screen for something which will probably say something like "d1_town_05". This is the map code. Type into the console:

map d1_town_05

Or whatever the map code you saw was. This will reload the section you are at. The AI characters might not work first time, but they often seem to.

(If the console didn't appear when you hit the key next to 1, go to Options-->Keyboard-->Advanced and tick Enable Developer Console.)

Please send me the save game too plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;( ;(

Try the map code thing I just suggested to moose1973. I'll send you the savegame as well, though.

[moose1973]

thanks .. the map code thing worked for me too..
