Issues fixed

Game crash with a runtime error

Instructions

Game hangs during last mission

During the last mission, after you have defuse the bomb (due to a weird bug that occurs with different resolutions) the game could freeze, right before the SWAT team breaking. There's two way to fix this. One is switching resolution back to 640x480. The other is explained below

Instructions

Character moves by himself

Instructions

Issues unresolved

Emile Dufraisne's bedroom room bug

There's a door in Emile's office supposed to lead you to his bedroom. Unfortunately the "open door" action hint is shown for half a quarter of second and it's practically impossible to take it. This is particularly annoying if you are trying to take Emile personal data files (located in his bedroom). There's three way to work around this bug:

  • Make Emile opening the door by making noise near the door (make sure to stay close to him, because if the door closes, you won't be able to reopen again)
  • Waiting until JBA HQ part 4 (the last mission) where this bug seems be fixed.
  • Use ghost cheat (here for more information)
