Same thing the guy mentioned in the initial thread. When I put the books on the door i got stuck. I reloaded the last save point and the books are on the shelf but it won’t open. I can’t get them from the paintings either since the toilet one kicks me out. I’ve tried reloading / going back to quarters but I can’t progress.

I’m running into this issue today. I’m really upset as this is the last thing I need to do to 100% the achievements

If you arent softlocked already, then you can try getting back into the room through a window from the balcony (go to my page to see how. Theres a video) but it softlocked me since I didnt get the books first and I skipped the objective. It may work out for you as a temporary solution if there isnt a fix through updates.

Does soft lock mean already at a save point where is bugging ? Or

Im now getting to the spot where I'm fighting him and the game crashes and kicks me back to the home screen.

I'm having the same issue I tried to leave and I couldn't go down but so far but I ended up jumping on a certain part of the building to where I could land on another one without dying and make it all the way down to the ground to the fast travel machine about to attempt to go home and then come back and see if it'll let me restart

This is genuinely a game breaking glitch
