I'm up to the part in the theatre where you have to pick the lock, I press B to pick the lock, he crouches down and the lockpicking instructions come up for like half a second, then he just gives up and stands up again no matter what I press.

Yea I know what you mean, it threw me for a loop for about 5 min, but keep trying to move the mouse left to right, then up and down when it tells you to, you'll get it eventually

He is using a controller, you need to use the analogue stick for it.

You have to use the thumb sticks and not the d-pad and or A.B & X.Y, it takes 15 or more minutes to break the lock, but you can do it!..

Don't have the trainer active when doing it, because the first time I broke the lock the trainer was on and the game crashed on the cut scene sequence when I first manage to break the lock!..



Following are the steps you need to perform to open up locked doors and chests:

Step #1
Gently rotate the left analog stick until your controller starts to vibrate. Once it does, hold your left stick in that position.

Step #2
Do the exact same with your right analog stick. Hold it where the controller starts to vibrate.

Step #3
Now repeatedly press the RT/R1 button to break the lock and open the door/chest.

There you have it. This is a new small little mechanism in the gameplay but it sure adds another layer of depth to it.

It was just the trainer refusing to load that part. It's pretty touchy, there are missions I've had to restart the entire game because waypoints are pointing to people already dead, etc.

Only use the Ghost Mode etc when needed, do not leave it on completely.

honestly all locks are the same, least for me, if using mouse try this, start left with enough room, you'll understand after doing once, now move mouse right slowly till lock pick goes in, then move mouse up until the 2 cross, while doing second pick try not to move left or right or it will make do again, then button mash to open, i've opened all locks same way up till mid sequence 7 so far in like 2 mins this way.

Alternatively doing all the anti-templar missions and killing the head templar per region nets you a master key that will open all chests in that region.
