How to Bypass the Race on PC

[Einstine]

How to bypass the race;
1) GO to your Steam game install location.
2) Go to edit folder
3) Go to saves folder
4) Go to mission replay folder
5) Copy file checkpoint_mm_060_sarah_cp_010.sav
6) Go to your DATA, lots of numbers, folder. This will be in 'Documents/My Games'
7) Go to gamesaves folder
8) Go to default folder
9) Go to aslot folder
10) PASTE file from (5) above there
11) Delete all saves
12) Rename file checkpointxxxx to save0.sav
13) ONLY save0.sav has to remain there
14) DISCONNECT FROM INTERNET AND START GAME
15) Once game loads, you will have skipped the race and on to the next mission
16) Reconnect internet

I just tested this and it works. It looks like the Dev has a save file for the start of each mission, so you are basically copying in the save for the start of the next mission, 'Sarah'.
