- "Earlier threads suggest that it happens if you replay Chapter 1 before playing 2, same with 5/6 and I believe 3/4. The bug can happen whenever you have a cutscene sequence in the hideout which triggers the passage to the next chapter, since replays don't trigger the cutscene the passage doesn't open."
