"Curtains Down" bugged (Silent Assassin rank impossible?)

[Mati9319]

I'M ABOUT TO TEAR MY HAIR OUT!!!

So, I'm completing this mission EXACTLY like the guy in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN17n3l9g_8

To be honest, I'm even more careful when detonating the bomb.

But there'e ONE major difference: I'm getting 1 mofokin' witness EVERY SINGLE TIME. My notoriety is always 10/100. ALWAYS. Right in the beginning of the mission it jumps to 10 out of nowhere an that's all.

To be more precise, this is what appears on the "INFO LIST" screen right after the beginning of this mission:

CURRENT NOTORIETY: 0/100
LOWEST NOTORIETY GAIN ON LEVEL
PLAYTHROUGH: 10/100

No other mission has this problem.

And I'm always ending this mission with 10/100 notoriety. Doesn't matter if I use the tactic shown in the video, or the WWI gun swap tactic. It always ends the same: 1 witness and 10 notoriety.

Oh and I'm playing on PRO difficulty, just like in the video.

1.Talk to the officer on left coat check, pick ww2 real pistol.
2.Wait for the worker to come out from the left side of coat check, as he does you have a little time to enter the door, without been detected!(wait for police officer to look away).
3.Go all the way down, open the double door, knock out the drinking franchman!Drag his body back to the previous room with the large chest. Before dropping him in chest, take his uniform.
4. In the room, where you find the drank franchman, there is a locked door(metal) unlock it. It will lead you to large corridor. Enter the first door on the right.
5. Go upstairs you'll see the curtains, go left,(w, FBIgent sits) then on the right side of the corridor you'll see double doors, which will lead you to platform right above the stage.
6. As you get on the platform, you'll see the door enter it, There is a worker, make sure he is sitting down and then plant the explosive on the chandelier.
7.When you're standing on platform drop the coin on the stage, that will stop the scene and speed up the process.(acotrs going back to their rooms!) FBI guard has left.
8.Exit the room with all the wires, as you go out there is a door on the left side. that is where the Second actor the executioner rests.
9.Hide in the closet, executioner will come in, puts his fake pistol down and then he leaves for bathroom. Use this time to pick a fake pistol and put the real one down.
10.Go back way you came from, Get your suit back(BE very carefull there is an officer going up and down on stairs)
11.Wait on the third floor(for your detonator to reach(* if you don't have it updated);
As main Actor dies, Your second target runs out in between sits, falls down like a little girl. Keep track of him on the map as he falls drop the chandelier.
12. Leave.

I believe the executioner actor is the witness. I am guessing he saw you in his dressing room while you were in the guard disguise. It might not actually be a glitch, he's probably one of those few smart NPCs that can put two and two together.

Ridiculous. Push the painter down the stairs as you run past equip his outfit climb up the evevator scaffold thing put 2 shots in your targets drop sniper rifle down elevator equip your outfit and escape. Or go back for your weapon whatever .

i think its the guy from this roof a witness, its just a bug of this game - mysterious witnesses

[n00bdragon]

Swap the WW2 pistol to kill the actor and drop the chandelier to kill the senator. Two accident kills. There can't be any witnesses if you never committed any crimes .

[Tok'ra Operative]

Maybe photographer in the front lobby counts as a witness if your picture is taken?

Can't check right now but:

CURRENT NOTORIETY: 0/100
LOWEST NOTORIETY GAIN ON LEVEL
PLAYTHROUGH: 10/100

afair this would indicate you got the notoriety in some past mission and not on this one

I was playing the GOG version just recently, and I remember quite clearly that I got a silent assassin rating on A Vintage year. Yet when I start the next mission, right after the exclamation mark appears and I check my notoriety it has increased to 10 for that particular mission.
Somehow the witness is activated as soon as the mission starts maybe?
I'm playing version 1.2 and only modified the game with a widescreen patch, maybe that has something to do with it but who knows, I'll just live with it, glad I'm not the only person with this problem
