XBox360- Glitch from Lower Wharf to Upper Wharf?

[NSgrappler]

Just got the grenade launcher and request for the camera from Peach Wilkins (behind metal door of Fontaine Fisheries). When I proceed to the right of the Gene Bank, the metal gate that was previously closed is now open and accessible after killing a couple of splicers. The problem is, although the metal gate is open, the game won't let me walk in! I try to walk through the open doorway, but it's as if there's an invisible wall! I can't seem to find any alternative route, either! Please help!

Does sound like a glitch, what you're supposed to do there is use the pneumo-tube which will take all your physical weapons. Have you tried this? Odd glitch like the story is out of sync. And do you have the research camera yet?

pneumo-tube? Haven't heard of or come across it as of yet. I do not have the research camera yet.

I thought I had to get to the upper wharf to get the camera...problem is, I can't get through the open gate

Ok then, this is how its supposed to go: you bang on the door with your wrench and Peach gives you a little speech and you fight a splicer which is driven away by a bot and get the grenade launcher. Then Peaches door does not open and you go back through the door you came into the room (180 degrees or behind you when you're facing Peaches door) and go get the research camera that Peach wants. I'm having trouble visualizing whether or not you are trying to go through Peaches door or are having trouble going back through the door towards where you came from. In case the game is bugged, you can also try to hit with the wrench on the left-middle side of where the metal gate would be. If the game just isn't showing it there might be an invisible lock there!

Edit: Never mind, I'm dumb re-read your description. Try to break the invisible lock if that could be it. And if that fails usually reloading from the level-beginning autosave (and going directly to Peach to save time) will hopefully fix it.

Where's the camera? I've left the room where you speak w/ Peach, passed the hacked grenade/rocker launcher gun, gone back up the stairs and to the right of the gene bank- where you can see a sign that says "Upper Wharf," next to an open gate. I was under the impression that to get the camera, I go through this gate (looks like a jail cell, which was closed prior to the conversation w/ Peach); however, the now open gate/cell door is impassable due to some invisible force...Any 2K techs follow me?

Now that I know where your talking about, the camera is through that opening. Technically the Unreal Engine 3 (what Bioshock uses) has a geometry type called a blocking volume. This means you can see through it but cannot move through it. At the beginning of the game where you go up the elevator right after picking up the wrench if you try to jump over the rail there you will encounter blocking volumes there too. For some reason the game is removing what you can see (the grate) but not the blocking volume. If you restart the level from the auto-save you can go straight to Peach and be back to that spot in 4 or 5 minutes and hopefully the game will not bug-out again.

Thanks...I'll give it a try and let you know.
