Originally posted by natland:I have just exited the main Elysium in Chinatown, a cutscene starts and just doesn't end.Open the console and type 'camerakill' and if that doesn't help 'frenzyplayer'. Also why are you using an outdated patch?updated to 8.9, tried the console commands 'camerakill' which didn't fix my problem, then tried 'frenzyplayer' which made me frenzy, but also did not get me out of the cutscene.if it helps, the cutscene is the one where kiki gets kidnapped from the red dragon restaurant, i have just talked to Ming Xiao about Barabus. I have exactly this problem with the same cut scene and have tried the same fixes from the console with the same effects (i.e. Can't ever exit the cut scene and can't continue the game). But I've been on patch 9.0 from the beginning (the latest patch as far as I know) and after admittedly some initial troubles getting it configured correctly I've had zero problems with the game right up until this point, so I suspect it is something specific with this scene. It also makes me suspect that just starting again as above will not solve the problem.

When I go into the console I see what look like a couple of error messages which may just be warnings but which suggest that the animation has a problem (they could also be completely irrelevent). If anyone knows a work around that will definitely kill or skip the cut scene that would be good because at the moment I seem to have reached the end of what I can play:-(. The cut scene does play, looks OK and the camera pans to the left where the kidnappers disappear down an alley but then the game remains in cut scene mode in some way. NPCs walk through the scene, the music plays on and it looks as if you just might be in a very long cut scene and perhaps something else is going to happen. But after a while it's apparent that you are just stuck. You can call up the console but camerakill has no obvious effect.
Frenzy puts you into frenzy but not in a way that allows you to regain control of your character. Eventually the frenzy ends and everything is as it was with the fixed view point locked on what I imagine is suposed to be the end of cut scene just before jumping back to giving you control again. It's a little weird; I don't really know how its all coded but its as if this scene is missing some final instruction to end. I could try going back to an earlier save. My last save is immediately before the cut scene just before I open the door to exit into China Town.
I have full control in that state, it's only when I open the door and the cut scene starts that I repeatedly get the problem.Just for the heck of it I reapplied the patch with all content and re-tested. Same symptoms. Tried alt tabbing in and out of the app and it is the same. As I say, it is not frozen at all, sounds play as normal, people move in the scene but your controls are locked except for inventry and quest log which work. I did notice some interesting errors in the console though which suggest all may not be well somewhere.
