Game Breaking Bug
« on: February 21, 2011, 04:52:21 pm »

I'm playing the 4.02.0 release of LCS and I came across a bug that means I cannot continue playing. I received a new safehouse after going after the CCS and for whatever reason the police decided to lay siege to it while no-one was there. Now I am unable to wait until the siege is resolved, but since there is nobody there, and I can't deploy anybody to the location as that requires waiting, I am stuck unable to do anything.

Is there any possibility that I could continue at all or is my save broken beyond repair?

The bug is fixed in the most recent version. Saves are probably not compatible.

This actually sounds like one of the long-standing bugs that hasn't been fixed. There is a work-around; you can hit Z to toggle through locations until you select the safehouse under siege, then surrender.

Thank you so much for the help guys. Jonathan, your solution worked perfectly. I had to lose some $119995 of my funds, but I think the price was worth it to continue playing :D

Thanks again for helping me to resolve this!

While not the same as the OP's problem, it is related to sieges and being stuck in them. My founder's safehouse came under siege, and when I tries to fight back/flee, I ended up stuck in a 1x1 square room. The safehouse had, if I remember correctly, previously been hit by fireman and the tiny room (which was completely off the main map) had what looked like fire damage.

Anyway, I was stuck, unable to move or do anything. Going back and trying again and giving up just resulted in everyone getting killed, so I needed to start a new game. Big bummer, it was going so good. :(
