You're using a walkthrough on your first play? :nono:
That being said, are you sure there's no lift present? That particular shaft is quite long... it takes the lift a few seconds to arrive after being summoned.

I'm only using a walkthrough because I can't progress in the game right now... I thought I was stuck but it seems my game is broken.
I am
sure that the lift isn't there. If I look up I can see the ceiling. I even tried sitting for a few minutes and the lift never arrives.
Would reinstalling the game fix the problem or is something wrong with my save?
This is the lift at the beginning of the video:

Well that's weird. I've never heard of that particular glitch.

Yeah, this sort of game breaking bugs tend to happen with SS1 from time to time, but SS2 is not usually known for bugs like these.
Sorry cuttooth, I don't know what causes the bug and what you should do about it. You might try reinstalling.

Summoning ladders might work... not sure if there's enough room in that shaft though. And summoning things can cause its own problems.
Restarting might be the best option. You haven't even cleared the coolant tubes yet, so you're still pretty early in the game.

Agreed. Do you have any mods installed?

I think I had this glitch a very,very long time ago (running an unpatched version of the game)..try loading a save from the first part of engineering,go through the level transition again,and see if it helps.
if not,I would recommend uninstalling the game completely,deleting all leftover files,making a clean install from the cd,and patching up with the latest (
