Trapped In Room (Electravolt/Door Bug)

[Alpha Series-Psi]

Okay, so I'm in Siren Alley, on the third floor. I had just entered the special viewing room, the one where you need to go to the viewing area, open up one of the windows, and use electravolt on the broken door switch to get the room open. So, I went in, and after hacking the safe and getting all I could out of the room, I tried to exit. To my surprise, the door was closed and locked. So, I tried zapping the broken door switch again, but that didn't work either. I tried several things, and eventually just started bashing the door with my drill. Eventually, I was able to get out, but only by lighting the splicer on the hooks hanging in the center of the room on fire and burning myself to death, which took pretty much all of my Eve hypos and both of my security bots (I blew them up so I could hurt myself some more). Now, even though I got out of the room, I'm still worried that this may be a problem for some. I was lucky enough to have the means to kill myself, but what if I get caught in this situation again and have no explosives or Eve hypos? I play on the 360, by the way. Is this glitch going to be addressed in a patch at some point?

Did you try saving/reloading the game? And then maybe even restarting BioShock 2?

.......wow, I feel stupid. No, I didn't. Has this problem been fixed before by doing that? If so, I apologize for my stupidity on the matter. Heheh......

The temporary fix for this is to save and reload and as suggested before to restart the game from that save if needed.

We are aware of a number of issues relating to this which we are looking into further.

i just had the exact same glitch. it took three or four reloads to get the door to open. on another note, when can i expect some updates for the xbox 360 version? i keep getting this freeze on the multiplayer pregame lobby just about every other match. i keep losing progress because it doesn't save sometimes when it happens.

Temporary fix?? That was posted ALMOST A YEAR AGO!!! Here it is Jan 2011 and I'm still getting trapped in rooms. Twice in three days. On my first play-through, but still, if temporary is a year, when is the permanent fix coming?

Cracks me up saying this will be fixed... Thank god one of you people told me how to get out of there! Or I'd had to restart from the auto save which I did not want to do thanks!
