Far Cry 2 Door Glitch
One of my readers contacted me after getting stuck in Far Cry 2 due to a glitch. He was unable to start a mission since the door to the room where they give the missions is closed. After doing some googling I found this was a common glitch affecting PC, PS3, and Xbox gamers. In case anyone else is having the same trouble I thought I would post a few work-arounds for the glitch so players can continue the game while we wait for Ubisoft to fix the problem in a patch.
Work Around 1: Walk through Walls
Note: This work-around has been removed in the latest patch for the PC, no word if it still works on console version. It requires you to have access to your weapons.
This uses a glitch with the Mortar that allows players to pass through walls or in this case the door. Equip your Mortar Launcher and stand right in front of the door (facing the door). Hold the aim button to set the mortar launcher down, now rotate 180 degrees (while holding aim) and you will go through the door. The door should work fine from here on out.
Work Around 2: Help out some Buddies
This is the one that worked for the reader. If the door you need to continue the story is closed, try finding some buddies you may have missed along the way. Doing their missions might just cause the door to open itself allowing you to continue the game as planned.
Work Around 3: Load Up Old Saves
This has the least success rate, but there are a few people who have reported that when they loaded up old game saves and planned to the point they got stuck the door would be open this time around. So if you are playing Far Cry 2, remember to save often as you don’t know when you may receive the glitch.
The door glitch has been reported at different times in the game and most people make it through the game without experiencing the glitch at all, but if you are one of the unlucky few who received it hopefully these work-arounds will help.
Thanks for the Tip Rui
