Strike City Cannot Progress
I cannot progress past Strike City as when I reached the end of the level for the first time, when Raz picked up the mirror shard, it was invisible, and after slotting it into the mirror, I was dumped unceremoniously back into the bowling alley.
I did see this in the known issues section, and I also believe it might have been caused by the ladder that I 'creatively climbed' while trying to test if I could jump from the ball. (I really wanted any potential figments hidden up there and was not aware the ladder would be part of a linear flow to the level)
Strike City now shows up in the brain tumbler, and is still accessible from Ford, and when I complete the level the correct way, the shard is in the brain, but I can't interact with it. I get stuck in the mouth and have to exit the brain.
This is happening to me on Xbox Series X, and a game reboot also did not solve the problem. Essentially I've confused the game and it thinks that I haven't completed something that I have. This is the last mission I have at the moment, and my progression is completely blocked behind this.
Hoping for a swift solution, and I shall apologize to that ladder and take it out for a drink when fixed. I didn't mean to take advantage of it in such an underhanded way.
(Other than this issue, I am completely in love with the game!)
Not sure if I am allowed to link things, but I do have a Youtube video showing off the glitched state of things. No footage of the actual glitched cutscene unfortunately. Link available upon request.

This was fixed in a previous hotfix patch.

Same issue, I got randomly launched to the end of the level whilst riding a bowling ball and stupidly carried on through the tunnel, now I can't complete the level. Please fix as I love this game, but not enough to replay from the start so soon.

Facing the same issue, in cutscene shard was invisible, now its stuck in the brain and can't trigger any action with it.
I'm having this problem on PC's game pass version, to help with troubleshooting im attaching save game files from
\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Psychonauts2_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs
- maybe it will be useful.Other than that the game is great :)
