Unable to leave Bunker Epsilon

H

Hewlett

First time out of the vault
Here's my problem:

My group is at Bunker Epsilon, and I'm trying to leave for the Cheyenne Mountain level. When I try to drive the Hummer onto the exit grid....nothing happens. Even on foot my group can't leave. I had my character go to the Recruits master and I dropped my 6th character (Rebecca). Babs showed up in that slot so I dropped her. Mother then shows up in the slot and I drop her also. After that the slot is empty so I add Rebecca and go back to the grid, but still nothing. Is this a known bug?
 
Well it's a known bug that people can't always leave Random and Special encounters, I don't think I've ever heard of it happening in a bunker before.

I'm not sure what what you mean by Babs and Mother showing up in the slot, so you secretly had 8 people in your party? Did they die in previous missions? I must admit it's a new one on me.

You need to have everyone on the exit grid, so try returning your entire squad to the recruit pool and see if you can leave then. If you can, leave come back and recruit your team back.
 
Yeah, it was like I had 8 people in my party.

Returning everyone to the recruit pool isn't totally possible since Stoma somehow ended up in slot 1, and my character is now in slot 3 like any other recruit. I tried for the hell of it, but Stoma was not able to leave the grid on his own, or with my character.

I think I'm screwed....
 
Sounds like you had the horsemen of the apocalypse special encounter in the unpatched game. Are you running any patches?

Do a search for the above encounter, here or at DaC, and see if there is a solution, though you'll probably have to go back to a previous save before Stoma became the leader.
 
I wasn't running any patches, so I downloaded 1.27 and restarted from before Stoma was made the leader.
 
the same thing happened to me. Im stuck in epsilon right before the same mission. When i save, some of my units faces are blacked out and some are of the wrong person. Ive tried leaving inside a tank, hummer, ive tried putting my team back into the recruit pool, ive tried talking to every1 again, tried watching that video of the calculator....I tried everything i can think of. The only thing that seems to do something is when i bs the bunker and kill every1, when i stand my team on the exit grid, i get that pic where your guy is cast of into the wasteland. I also have the most recent patch. Can any1 here help me??????
 
With the benefit of hindsight I can say that the original poster's problem was due to the demotion bug triggered when his character was swapped with Stoma. When you say you have the same problem do you mean you haven't patched the game and/or your main character has swapped places in the squad order with one of the recruits? Are you getting duplicates of some of the recruits show up when you open and close the recruit master's screen?
 
I also have a very similar problem.

I came from a previous mission to the bunker Epsilon to get the new one, which was Cheyenne Mountain. I try to get my squad to the green exit grid, but nothing happens. It's like it wouldn't matter if the green grid were there, or not.

I'm using the version 1.13 of the game. Is there truly no other option but to try loading a previous save?

[edit]I believe this is caused by the story tell section that leaving the base opens. If you re-enter this base you cannot exit after this point anymore as the machine is in constant loop to try to locate and execute that video again, but as it is marked as "seen" already it won't open, thus you are stuck in the base.

Until this bug is fixed, you just have to load from a previous save. The latest patch did not fix this problem either.[/edit]

Well that doesn't help things.

Nope.

Err no the game doesn't work like that, the game doesn't mark videos 'seen' and the trigger to play the movie only plays once not every time you visit the bunker. If it can't find a movie it just doesn't play it, it doesn't go into loops looking for one.

There are two bugs affecting exit grids, one found usually in special encounters where the exit grids stop working, they can reportedly be turned back on by killing an npc but you can't do that in a bunker without ending the game. The other as noted above where you get invisible duplicate recruits spawing and since they don't spawn on the exit grid you can't fill the condition of leaving the map by having all your living squad on the grid.

6 year old game, at least two of the companies involved are no more or at least a pale shadow of themselves and the IP is now owned by someone else, so that's not likely to happen now is it.
