Can't Get Through a Doorway? What to Try
Short answer: doorways and raised sills catching the player are a known problem, and the developers have fixed them patch by patch. Update to Patch 1.0.5 or newer first.
Why it happens
Players have reported narrow, uneven doorways - one thread specifically describes a door near the grand staircase that was difficult to pass. The cause is collision geometry: raised sills and tight door frames that the character controller can snag on. The developer answered the report asking for the mode and level, and treated it as a bug.
What Patch 1.0.5 fixed
- Improved doorway and threshold collision throughout the bath house, cargo area, Scotland Road and several story locations.
- Reduced snagging on narrow passages and raised door sills.
- Fixed crouched players becoming stuck on objects and railings when trying to walk off an edge.
- Fixed movement becoming locked after the first Guggenheim conversation in the bath house.
What helps right now
- Update to Patch 1.0.5 or newer - most reported doorways were covered by that pass.
- If a doorway still catches you, try a short jump (the jump key) as you cross it - a player-reported workaround in the official thread.
- Do not fight a doorway for minutes: step back, approach at an angle, or crouch to reset the character controller.
- If it is repeatable, report it - the developer asks for two details: Free Roam or story mode, and the level name.

The same 1.0.5 pass fixed floor clipping after scripted sequences and spiral-stair clearance in Level 7. If the problem is performance rather than collision, see performance and FPS.

FAQ
Common questions about this topic.
Why do I keep getting stuck in doors in Titanic Escape Simulator?
Raised sills and tight door frames can snag the character controller. Patch 1.0.5 improved collision across the most-reported areas - update the game first.
Did Patch 1.0.5 fix all doorways?
It fixed doorway and threshold collision in the bath house, cargo area, Scotland Road and several story locations. Some spots can still be awkward, so report any repeatable one.
Is getting stuck a puzzle?
No. Nothing about a doorway is a hidden mechanic - it is collision, and the developers have been patching it.
Does it affect the story?
It can slow a chapter down, but it does not change objectives or endings. If progress stalls, the Level 7 page covers the one confirmed progression bug.
