Considering how unwilling you are to even help us track down what might be happening, please don't bother.

Well, maybe in a year you will read this and realize you could have been playing this and/or other missions the entire time.

Heart is a pretty large and complex mission. Most people can play it fine but I also got the same 'door is invalid' whatever... I tried to load it several times, and DL'ed it several times from different locations. Never worked.
Nobody else had the issue, it was very odd.

So I dmapped it.

console
dmap heart (I think that's the file name). wait as it compiles. try again.

It worked just fine. As I said, nobody else until now has had that problem and it really doesn't make sense. Meh, what are you gonna do, give up?

Just so you know, that's the ONLY mission out of all the released missions that ever did that to me. And nobody else. Maybe it's a hardware thing? Who knows. But it doesn't mean the whole mod is buggy, there's just something with that map on a very very limited number of systems.

It's a free game that works pretty darn well in most cases. I've seen professionally released games that had more issues.

By the way, we've had someone report that they had an issue with the updater trying to update itself and getting caught in a loop. If this happens, manually download the latest version of the updater from our site and overwrite your old version. Run the freshly downloaded version and you should be good to go again.
