Hey guys, I seem to be stuck on Mission 3.
I have seemed to roamed the map and killed everyone and saved everyone. Got the arm etc.
But now I the gate to the leaders compond wont open, I got the key to the door and throw the switch, and NOTHING happens.....
Can someone please shed some light on this for me, I dont want to have to play the whole mission again :(
 
You may be screwed.

Evidently there is a bug (to be fixed in the upcoming patch). The switch to open the gate only works once. If anything is blocking the gate when the switch is hit, it won't open. And the switch won't work any more.

Hopefully you have a save from before you hit the switch. Otherwise, I guess you'll have to just chew your fingernails or something until the patch comes out.

Luck

Hmmp. I got a little excited when I saw the subject line, but my question hasn't been answered already :(

I can't even find the stupid key for the gatehouse... I've killed every raider in the base (except the ones in the back area obviously), and was searching them as I went. I've systematically gone over them and re-searched them all again. No key... Is it even on a guard or is it in some chest or pot somewhere that I didn't see?
 
I'm pretty sure the key was supposed to be on Daisy, the raider leader next to the tribal prisoner. It was either her or Luke the raider, who is pretty much right next to her.
 
Daisy? (Tribal Prisoner? The only prisoner I found was the scientist guy, and all the raiders around his prison were standard issue...) I did waste Luke the raider, quite easily too...

Oh well, I guess I'll just do it again. Playing with the tough guy option makes missing things like that espescially frustrating though...
 
OK, you know what sucks worse than discovering that you missed an entire freaking building? Spending a couple hours clearing a level with minimal damage taken, then having the damned game spit out an illegal action crash as you enter the exit area!!
 
Save Save Save!

:) I guess the Tough Guy waits until the patch is released :)

But I had illeagal crash once and never since I switched to lower resolution...

Stuka!
 
I've already restarted five or so times, I'm not restarting again just so I can safety save every five minutes... Besides, the updates have made it sound like the patch won't take too much longer anyhow...

And I crashed at 8x6. I played at 1024 for a while, but everythings just too damned small at that res.
 
Well, it crashed me out of mission 3 again. About halfway through this time though...

Anyone know who to send the stack dump & sys info to? I've never seen much point in giving the info to the interplay tech people, since they're far removed from the people actually patching the thing...

Try saveing during your mission...
 
OK, at this point I'm thinking that there is some kind of bug affecting me. I crashed midgame again, and this time I noticed that the raider leader who throws grenades into nearby walls was about to make his odd speech. And I believe that's when it crashed the previous time, and the first time it happened, I suppose I was about to get a debriefing...
