POI unlock mechanics

[Darthjake]

So I've tried to search a few different ways and haven't seen if this has been addressed or not. I know it might be a mod interfering, but I don't think so as we don't have mods that interface with the blocks or doors.

But when I'm in a POI whether it's for loot or doing a mission sometimes when I hit the key next to a door, or the button for a garage door it's hit or miss if it works or not and then I have to beat down the doors.

The few that have worked are the rolling doors in the Hybrid Power Station. (Worked while exploring it, not on a mission.) And one of the pass and gas locations when you press the button and one of the doors rolls up to give you a path out.

Any thoughts why some of these work and some don't? One of the more glaring issues was the steel door hatch in one of the underground military bases that didn't unlock when I hit the button. It also didn't let me into the loot room but since I had a steel pickax that was less of an issue.

Edit: Yes this is still for the old version not the unstable 2.0.

I've seen this too. Sometimes a key rack doesn't open a door. It's pretty rare and when it happens I go check the configuration of the POI (as I see it on custom POIs) and they're set correctly. I've not found a clue about when or where it happens, but it isn't consistent. Visit the same POI elsewhere and the key rack works.

EDIT: Yes, the last I saw it was 1.4 too.

I don't have any mods and I've never encountered this problem.

It happens to me every time on my PS5, haven't really tried it yet on PC. No matter what map I'm in, it always happens. Been doing this for that last few months that I know of.

Just in case it is related, if you have custom POI on the host/server but not on the client, then the client cannot press buttons or key racks in those POI.

Beyond that, there may be an old bug coming back, though that seems unlikely since you see this on 1.4 and not 2.0... I've never had the problem in 1.4.

Now, in the case of console, it has more chance of being that old bug since that is a different platform and I haven't played this on console.

I've also experienced this on Xbox Series X version. Very frustrating when you fall through the floor into a room full of radiated Zeds and the exit door won't open! That's where the Auto Shotty comes in....

I'll ask my buddy that's running the server and see, I just did the Film Fanatic's house in 2.0 and at least 2 of the key racks worked just fine in there.

On that note though I had a freaking mutant Z on day 2! He came up from the fanatic's basement and took me down to half health and infected me.
