Help with APC, (minor spoiler)

Hello all,

I made it to the first BOS bunker above ground,I drove there in the apc but now it won`t move, I can still get in and take out the inventory, but thats it! I have a 130 pilot skill and I can drive in and out other vehicles just fine. Has anyone esle had this problem?

P.S. I made sure the apc was at full HP in case you were wondering :)
 
RE: Help with APC, (minor spoiler)

It is to tall for the bunker roof. It's stuck in it... :)

This is one of the _few_ things the patch actualy fixes.

GAHHHHHHH! APC STUCK IN ST LOUIS!!! HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

My friggin APC is "stuck" against a guardrail on a bridge and no matter what I do (shoot it, throw grenades, jump in and throw grenades out the windows, etc) it will not move. Now I have killed everything on the screen, but there is no EXIT GRID lit up anywhere either, but this probably doesn't matter because I already put the Talon squad in the APC.

ANY CLUES???????????
 
RE: GAHHHHHHH! APC STUCK IN ST LOUIS!!! HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

There's no way a vehicle will be permenantly stuck, if you can get into that position in the first place, you can get out the same way

what you need to do is start backing, maybe turning on the way, sometimes the turn of vehicle make them scratch against obstacles and stuck them, try to turn until you're aligned to the direction you came in, then try forward and backward at all angles

attacking the apc is kinda stupid, obviously it won't make it move, and watch out for catcus, last time I ran into one with my hummer and did 52 damage.. a rocket did 32, amazing huh
 
All right, here's the deal. I'm playing through single player mode for the first time on normal difficulty, and I've just been saving over my old games under the default save game name. I'm not playing in hardcore mode or whatever that's called because, well, it's my first time through. Well, here's my problem. I recently saved the game with the APC sitting near a rock, when one of my team members found the business end of a supermutant rocket while scouting (badly), I decided to load my most recent save. Unfortunately, the APC seems to be wedged against the rock and can't move forward or backward. I can't complete the mission without the APC. I tried detonating mines under it to move it, shooting it with a rocket, just about everything possible in game. Is there any way I can move it or restart the mission? I'd hate to have to start the whole game over just because of this silly little bug. In fact, I'll probably quit completely before I do that, despite how much I like the game. I would even use a trainer or something just to warp the thing a foot to the left so I could continue playing, so long as the trainer or cheat or whatever could be removed afterwards. Thanks for the help, if you can offer any.
 
There should ,iirc, have been an autosave made by the game just prior to entering the mission. See if you can load that save.
 
Hrm, don't think so

Unless they're kept in a different place, there is no autosave before missions in this game, (and you can't restart mission, a feature I think should be there). Anyway, thanks for trying.
 
I've had this problem too, but luckily i quicksaved the game before i got the apc... quicksave is always good i must say.... but be sure to use the quickload button when you load and not the save button :-)
 
Maybe try to use autoload (Control + L) and see if you have an autosave from way back. Might be a couple of missions back, but it beats the hell out of starting all over.

Click to expand...
All saved games (quick saves included) are in the one folder so you'd be able to see them all just by using the load game option from the menu. The only restriction to the number of saves available is the freespace on your drive so it's a good idea to make seperate saves, at least once in a while, especially before leaving the bunker for a mission.

Try clicking to the left or right of the APC (instead of to the front or behind), about half the screen away. Sometimes when vehicles get stuck you can rock them off the obstacle just like in real life. And don't forget if you're playing in TB the vehicle doesn't move until all your squad have taken their turn.
 
Thanks

I'll try this. I'm a bit doubtful, but I've taken a break from the game so even if it doesn't work, I think I won't mind going back to my last extra save and redoing a few missions. I'll start saving in the bunkers now too. I guess some people just have to learn the hard way. I don't play in turn based mode, so unfortunately, that doesn't apply. I'll try your stuff out; thanks everybody for the helpful posts.

St. Louis and its damnable APC.

So.. yeah. I somehow mangaed to get my APC completely stuck against some barbed wire. No manner of clicking will make it wiggle its way out, its completely stuck. I cleared all of the mutants on the little island from hell to find my big green APC irrevocibly stuck.

Having played FOT 3-4 times and already masically beating this mission, i'm really not in the mood to start the mission over again..

Do I need to bring the APC to talon and back to beat the mission? Or is there a mod/trainer/editor that i can use to fix it or just beat the mission automatically?
