FO2 - Can't use president's pass key (spoilers) *solved*

First time out of the vault
I've been playing FO2 for the first time over the last month and have been loving it (with the restoration project and unofficial patch) but I'm at the final encounter with Horrigan and the president's pass key doesn't seem to be working with the console in the room.

I put the card in my active slot and use it on the console but it doesn't do anything, I enter the console again but the options are the same.

I've also tried loading earlier save games and doing the run up things like getting the pass and starting the countdown in different ways but the pass ultimately still never works...I haven't got the firepower to take down Horrigan in the 8 minutes left :(

Any ideas?

Peace.
 
I don't get any extra dialogue options with the computer, I have read that you need high intelligence to use it, i've scoured the base for mentats and can't find any and i'm looking into a character editor but I think the killap's unofficial patch might give me problems there
 
I've raised my Intelligence enough to use the passcard but Horrigan is still insanely tough, all the miniguns and enclave have been destroyed and i've got two minutes to kill him but my gauss rifle rarely does 1 damage....I'm at level 18 so surely I must be missing something, I even raised my small arms to 300% as a test but the gauss rifle is still like a peashooter.

Very odd :evil:

Mayhap you are using the AP ammo fix? Turn it off (somewhere in the config file) and see if it help.
 
That's true I am using it but with some tweaking of the save game file i've managed to kill the mofo :)

Is the fix known to cause issues?

Yes, the ap ammo fix that comes with the RP is known to cause problems with Horrigan. It will be addressed in the upcoming 1.3 release which is due out in a few days.
 
Well I got past it in the end, I'll leave the patch enabled assuming it doesn't break anything else.

Thanks for posting, hope you guys had a good Christmas.

I'd advise not to use it, it makes combat rather freaky.

BTW have a good Christmas yourself.
