So I'm on the first mission and I can't use the elevators for the life of me. Bugs like this are what caused me to stop playing the second. Is it a bug or am I just stupid?

If you're sure you're in the right elevator (haven't played this game in far too long, and can't remember the maps), step inside and look all around you while pressing Enter (or whatever the 'Use' key is). I had a similar problem with Jedi Academy, but it's usually alright if you just look around and mash the Enter key until the doors close. Try looking for a control panel, or looking at the floor.


If all else fails, you'll need to enable cheat mode and use noclip to fly up/down through the elevator. To do this in single player mode, open the command console (Shift + ~ or `), type helpusobi 1, hit Enter and then type noclip. Close the console and you'll be able to fly in any direction through any object. To disable this mode afterwards, open the console again and type noclip.
