Spoiler alert: if you don't know which acid that I'm referring to then turn around now.

So near the beginning ish of Amnesia I have retrieved the 4 chemicals from the wine cellar and mixed them into the pot in the laboratory. I noticed that even after filling the pot the chemicals remained in place. I returned to the sealed passage way in the entrance hall and used the acid on the biological substance blocking the passage way. It "dissolved", clearing the path.

I decided to test whether or not I could refill the chemical mixture pot right away, expecting to need more of the acid in the future. I returned immediately to the laboratory without ever crossing through the now dissolved barrier. In the laboratory, I am unable to place the now empty mixture pot back on the table. I am therefore unable to refill it. OK, fair enough. Not logical, but meh...

Defeated, I return to the entrance hall, only to find that the biological barrier has returned. Now I have no acid, cannot make acid, and cannot progress. Is this a bug or am I just doing it wrong?

Thanks!

It's a bug and you need to load a previous autosave. There's no need to backpedal to refill and none of the testers were apparently shrewd enough to try & refill so this bug passed by undetected.

It's not just that barrier.

It doesn't seem to save the level state at all, like it did in Penumbra.

Yes, I noticed that too.


I remember Penumbra doing a pretty great job of remembering the level state. I miss that. I'm guessing that wouldn't be a simple patch though.

While the path being blocked is clearly a bug I wonder if some of these effects are intentional - a sign of insanity "I'm SURE I moved these boxes before..."

Nah...

I ran into the same issue. I'm glad to see others like to go for seconds at the buffet.

Yeah, pretty annoying bug. Good thing autosaves are not overwrited...
