I had this problem as well. I think I read earlier in this thread (or some other site) that if you stand at the gate where you see Darius then the red swirl will eventually appear. I tried this a few minutes ago and it worked. Just stand there. Don't move. It may take several minutes. It eventually appeared for me and I was able to continue.
Hope this helps.
@razzer I can confirm what you are saying as it worked for me on PC after standing at the gate for a few seconds only.
@Razzer Does nothing for me, just automatically pauses after a while.
It is January 24, 2019 and this just happened to me, crazy to think that it has been this long and have not fix it. This happen on Xbox one, please fix this!!!
@netheos
My name is ARRlS GAMlNG on Xbox one and on vampyr my game bugged when I tried to skip the cutscene when Darious talked to Dorothy and now he is stuck in the door and won’t move even though I have all the hints for him to let me into the house to see Dorothy. You talked about trying to fix this bug with another person on June 7, 2018 and still has not been fixed. Please have your team look at this again!
Bug is still quite active on PC.
Just bought the game this last week, just on my first playthrough.
The eavesdrop point does not exist.
I'm about to try a second save file...
EDIT: Second run worked, although the eavesdropping point did flicker in and out of existence as I was trying to stand on it.
