stuck in "phil the nuka cola dude" encounter

[eternity]

while heading to the last mission.. i ran into this encounter. when the map loaded there was no one there.. so i left it. i went back into it to see if there was meant to be anyone there.. now, phis is there.. but he's in the green bit on the edge of the level. i cant see him/talk to him but he's visible on radar and i can see him talking.

now the problem is, i cant leave the encounter.. when all my guys are in the exit grid (green bit) nothing happens.

this is my quick save, and my last actual save is at the start of the previous level.. which i dont want to repeat.

any ideas how i can get out of the encounter?

Alright here, I'm having a déjà-vu. If I'm not mistaking, the problem you have is a neat little bug that was included in the latest patch to FOT - which is pretty darn funny if you ask me. The thing is that in the unpatched version you can use another bug in those special encounters (the mighty duplication bug) and so, while fixing it, they kind of screwed it up so that some special encounters do not let you exit the map if you visit the place for a second time. At least, that's what I came up with: I've played the unpatched and the patched version and only in the patched version did I happened to have the same problem. I don't think you can actually fix it, so I'm afraid you're just going to have to load a previous saved game. That's what I did.
