Once I get to the open city, everything is done. No enemies all events triggered

[Jedilink]

So I get through the hallway with the hands coming through the floor after beating the Mace wielding maniac.  Once I get to the open portion of the city everything is done.  All the doors are unlocked.  There's VERY VERY few enemies (maybe 2 or three throughout the entire open city).  The monster coming out of the street has already flipped the car over.  The sniper rifle is gone, my girlfriend has SOMEHOW already killed herself by leaping off the roof, all of the holes in the park are dug up and all the contents are gone.  There are no Chainsaw maniac chases because they are already done.  It seems like mostly everything is done with by that point.

I decided to go into the apartments again since the game eventually loops back to them.  I figured maybe the game is being crazy because the game is more "open world" like at that point.  I thought maybe putting it back into a more linear section of the game will get it to work again.  So I went to the alley (the ladder was already in place and the pistol flashlight was gone) and went inside.  Now at this point the player goes into the previously blocked off apartment covered in blood.  So I went upstairs and went inside the apartment.  Everything is black.  So I moved my character.  He's now still in the hallway outside the apartment again.

I thought I might try another apartment.  The one across the hall.  I go into it and everything is black.  I turn around and there is a door behind me where I came in and I keep going into that door and can never leave the apartment.

This is all sillyness, but I just want to know why all the events seem to have been pretriggered at this point once I get to the city?  I had the flashlight issue previously and fixed it.  Then I had the no gun sound issue and fixed THAT.  Well I played until I got to this point.  I figured maybe it's because I had the sound issue when I started the game.  So I restarted the ENTIRE GAME and played through it to get to that open city portion again and STILL everything is pretriggered and there are almost no enemies anywhere. 

What in the world can I do to fix this?!?!

This is the first I hear of this error :/

It probably has something to do with you playing with the temporary fixes for the issues you've had so far.

I don't know anything that would help you out though :/

This is an interesting bug. Would you kindly record your playthrough to give us an idea how this looks?

If all the events/entities were triggered, then you would progress to the next part until you trigger another event (ex: cutscene, objective item, etc...).

Sorry to reply to such an old thread, but this is the only place online I've found of someone else having the same issue that I'm having.

I'm trying to finally play through this game, but as soon as I get to the city, everything has already been completed just like Jedilink's game. I'm running on a completely fresh install of CoF without any 'fixes' or other modifications in place. And I've tried playing through the game again to see if it still occurs but it does.

One solution I thought of was to directly load into the map using 'map c_city', however this of course resets all of my items, and the issue still happens when I reach the chainsaw chase part of the level (The door is already smashed open and no cutscenes trigger).

I'm curious as to whether any solution was found for this, I'd really like to finish the game but I'm honestly lost as to what I can do to get around this bug.
