2.0.201.50 Softlock - Bauthrumite Staircase Behind Forcefield

[Vesk Aida]

Hello. I encountered this softlock on the latest version (2.0.201.50) of CoQ on 11/20/20 on Steam with no mods; I’ve included screenshots and the zipped save file below.

This bug softlocks the main quest line at the stage “A Canticle for Barathrum” when a down staircase leads inside the Barathrumite Enclave in the Gritgate behind the forcefield. Because the staircase is behind this forcefield (where the bears are), it is impossible to reach the intercom outside the Bauthrumite Enclave and finish the quest.

Possibly unrelated, but I also noticed that on the floor above (screenshot included) the “up staircase” and “down staircase” generated very close to one another, and two ‘down’ staires spawned. I’m not sure if this is related to this Barathrum softlock, or possibly another unrelated bug.
