bandits brothers mission

[QuickDagger]

Hey R@S,

I know I must not talk about money and must not offend the officer. And, because I know it I don´t do it.

And more, I always save the game prior to this dialog so that I can load it back and try the many options available.

No way!

[R@S]

Since you can talk to the police the first time, it's not a corrupt INI file. I checked the code and you need to get the Medallion and Passport from Amorales, maybe that's the reason you wont get the second dialog with the police. But that would mean that you wouldn't be able to set up the meeting/ambush.

Other than that, the only reason I can think of is that you might have started using a different set of source code files in the middle of your game, that can cause these kinds of weird errors. In that case you need to start a new game.

[QuickDagger]

Well,

I use to mess with ini files and you got a point on that.

But, since I´ve installed the game many times and I´ve started it many more times, than it could have happened right at least one time.

But, it is also true that I´ve always played the game using patches and mods, which could be the reason of a corrupted file or something.

So, I might try this mission on a vanilla, then with the addons.

I will let you know about my results. Let´s see what happens.

By the way my High Calibre version is 1.11 build 286.

Well I wanted to do this mission the right way at least once. It doesn't matter if you talk about Corvinis debts with Querano the first time, he'll still offer to team up on the the two gangs.

To get this mission properly filed & finished, you have to team up with the police after talking to the gang in de Oro and the mafioso. Corvini has to stay alive and you can't touch the money until you get your share at the station.

You can however put the money bag into the trunk and keep it as a souvenir

edit: better to do as Ras said, just leaving the bag on the floor is enough, I tried to keep it as a souvenir but then noticed new bugs appearing with the barkeepers...

Warning. If you attempt to put the money suitcase in the carrying slot you will totally corrupt every save game associated with this mission, not to mention the crash to desk top that occurs when you grab the suit case.

So don't touch the suitcase. Just imagine how good this game would have been without the bugs. Oh well a good computer game only comes along every ten years.

Well, i can kind of understand that some players might be bothered by having the mission in the active tab eventhough its finished.

But im not!

Ive always decided against getting help from the cops.
Not only does it yield more money, it also gives you more Exp for your guys.
Ive done this with 3 Mercs with pretty shitty guns, if i might say so.
To be clear, with the shotty from Santa Maria, a rusty Mosin and a Tommy gun i was able to pul this off without too much trouble.

The good thing is that the Bandits usally dont join the fight right away.
If youre lucky they turn on the gangsters, but that happend like two times out of 20.
If u attack the gangsters with the chinese rifles first you rob them of their range advantage and the rest often just storm towards you.
The bandits sometimes rush you when the gangsters are mostly down, but grenades a some fast guns can counter that.
They dont really have something good to fight you in their arsenal anyway.

@Redjac
Never had a problem with the suitcase, are you sure that you use the community patch?
