I got through both this and In a Time of Need recently. Two play sessions for Breaking out the Fence, the first was me enjoying the different areas (like the spider cave, which was great!) and the second one was me being annoyed by the high loot req. on the hardest difficulty since I was required to either get dock treasure, safe or boar secret in order to pass. In hindsight getting pissed off a long time after I've had a good time the first time unfairly colored my opinion of the FM - overall I think it's a little gem! On to Exhumed, I suppose!

Went through the topic on looking for hint about the paintings with the locks behind them (which can't be lockpicked and don't use any of the keys I've found) and found nothing. Seems odd that nobody else would ask about this but maybe I'm just blind or didn't check the right spoiler box. :/

You can find the key on a shelf over Tengrove's desk.

 

 

Really enjoyed this one, one of my favorites :D

 

Also, now that I know there's a secret involving the boar, I'll have to look some more.

I failed to complete the mission in 2.08 beta

After opening the fence prison cell the game became unplayable (low fps) with console spam like this

Reloading the savegame seems to resolve this

I got the same low fps problem when opening the footlocker in the tavern and picking up the triangle lockpick. Reloading didn't help; neither did quitting and starting again.

I have the exact same problem. Playing on 2.09.

It's unfortunate because I was really enjoying the mission up till now.

The mission has been reuploaded with a small fix for the lag that begins after lockpicks are picked up - the downloader should offer to update the FM. Please let us know if there are still problems in this vein with the FM.

played this for the first time today, but after a search through other people's playthroughs it seems there may be a new bug introduced with the update? 

Spoiler

the sunken treasure chest beneath the pier cannot be picked

I replayed this mission in TDM 2.09 and found an anoying bug that the metal door in the sewers leading to the prison cannot be lockpicked. (in TDM 2.05 it was OK when I played years ago)

Also the footlocker under the boat cannot be lockpicked.

Found out that the older version of this mission does not have this problem if copied to 2.09 from my old 2.05 FM folder.

I'm not sure that repeatedly bumping this is going to help.

Good mission though the alarm is WAY too loud. Woke up the family AND my neighbour.

One problem, the code does not match what is written on the note. No wonder I couldn't
find it. I had to come here, only to find you'd made a mistake about it. 

I have an eclectic YouTube channel making videos on a variety of games. Come and have look here:

Hmm...

For some reason, there is a func_remove entity that targets the lockpicks in this mission.

It is breaking their functionality in 2.10.

I fear that it may have been added to attempt to fix the performance and logspam issue previously mentioned?

@Dragofer @kyyrma

Anyway, the lockpick functionality works in this modified build:

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
