i just made it back to the area where you get the boltcutters and white panties after doing the thing you told me to do to fix my game, and i encountered a weird bug that causes the final switch at the end of the area to count as a activated switch which makes it where if you activate the 2 protected by the blue things, and then activate the one not protected by the blue things (in that exact order), it bugs out the game to deactivate the pistons and the electricity for the boltcutters, if you hadnt activated the one not protected by the blue things the electricity for the final switch would be off but when you activate the switch thats suposed to turn off the pistons and stuff it turns the electricity to the area back on so you cant get out until you go back to fix it, weird bug and also makes it where you can skip part of the area if you dont wanna do the panties quest
