Mainly, I can't fight it.

I fall down the final hole after grabbing the last pda message, and I fall gently until I touch the bottom of the hole.

Once I reach the bottom, I can either jump again to reach about the height of the bottom of the lit tube, only to fall down again... or I can run around in the dark at the bottom of the hole. I can place map markers (with the N key) and see that I am still in the cylindrical tube, it's just that nothing happens.

The boss doesn't seem to want to spawn. I've read on guides online that I'm supposed to fall into a room, and the boss fight should start, but nothing like that is happening. I just keep falling until I hit rock bottom. Then I'm stuck.

Get this... I even tried using ShockED to load the level to see if there was anything wrong. If I'm reading the plans correctly, it seems like the tube the player is expected to go down actually does lead to a dead end. I noticed a short distance parallel to that tube the player is expected to go down, another tube  that isn't accessible from the top that terminates into the inside of the boss room.

Am I missing a trigger or something? Is there supposed to be a hidden warp when I'm falling that transports me over to the bosses room? Is my game messed up?

Help me out here, please.

What am I doing wrong? I have the shtup texture pack installed, and I straylight + official patches if that matters. I also have an XP patch and HyperThreading Patch installed, but my computer doesn't utilize Hyper Threading, so thats probably moot.

Is something in the patches perhaps causing this issue? I haven't had a single issue all game, and this is the first time I've run into a problem.

You should be getting teleported to the end room before you ever reach the bottom of that tube.

Have you tried making that jump a few more times?

I loaded that save and the telport worked fine?

This is going to sound weird, but can you give me your map file then?

Maybe it's just my map?

Or better yet, do you think you can save a file, probably over the first slot, right inside of Shodan's room. I just want to fight that stinking boss and be over with it.
