I'm encountering a serious bug in the botanical center where I just found Serena with Natasha accompanying me and Serena ran into the greenhouse.

For some reasons, I am unable to use my pistol nor my crossbow, they don't respond to my command, and now I am in the small cabin where a shelf has fallen behind us blocking the exit and I found a heavy club, the game tells me to equip it in the items menu, which I am trying to do but that doesn't work so I am stuck into this cabin because I am unable to use the item required and my weapons don't work either.

It seems that the botanical center is seriously bugged.

Hello, I have the exact same bug and it is not being fixed, I cant fire the crosbow, and cannot change to another weapon, is there any fix for this error?

Hello, did you read my next post? I explained how I got rid of the issue by quitting the game then launch it again.

Also, does this bug happen to you at the botanical center too or elsewhere?

Hi, yes I did, I closed the game, opened again and still the same problem, this is happening in the botanical center, I tried just closing it, and also going to the log screen, nothing worked

Hmm... At least now we know that the bug comes from the botanical center indeed, that will make it easier for the developer to fix it if he know where to look for. :-)

I don't remember having done anything else beside quitting the game and relaunch it... Ah! Yes, I did something. In order to check if the issue concerned only the botanical center, I tried to fire my weapons in each area on my way to the botanical center.

Maybe it is what solved my issue? Try it and let me know. ;-)

I cant, I have only one saved file, and it is stuck in the botanical center :(

Aaaaaaw! That is a beginner player mistake, save often AND ALWAYS keep several saves in case you need to reload a previous save!

Now if you are stuck in the botanical center and you can't get out of it then you are screwed unless the developer takes on him to fix the issue quickly so you don't have to go back to the beginning of the game and repeat everything.

i think i found it. by the time i realized my gun wouldn't pew pew, i was out in the field. single save, and recent. i was just by Caroline's house near the gate south on my way to do a quest to the south.

out of desperation i guess? i went back home and when i talked to the barrels to enter they replied "Spend some time by exploring" instead of "go home?" so i clicked yes, and it teleported me outside... where i already was. guns fully functional now.

my guess is that something borked a script that allows you to fire your weapons while in the field, and having literally no experience with this kind of stuff unless vicarious experience watching skyrim and fallout modders make fancy mods counts.

i'd bet that there's some sort of hidden Buff or Status that's applied to us when we exit the safehouse and go to the Field but the quest where we shoot down the boss in Her place borks the game.

Hmm... I think you discovered an interesting clue about this bug. You said that you tried to go back home and when you interacted with the blockade, it reacted as if you were home and tried to go out. And when we are home, we cannot use weapons. So if the game thinks we are home then it disables or doesn't enable weapons. Then this bug might be that the game, for some reasons, thinks we are home when we are out. I think you discovered an interesting point to help the developer understand the issue and solve it, thank you. :-)

Also, this bug occurred to you elsewhere than at the botanical center so thanks to your report we now know that this bug doesn't occur only at this area.

I didn't encounter any issue with the boss fight in Caroline's house, it occurred only at the botanical center for me so it might not occur at the same location for everyone.
