Can't complete "Gig: Serious Side Effects"

[Rustal]

I'm replaying the game on 2.0. It looks like in "Gig: Serious Side Effects", unless you have 18 body the gig is impossible to complete. The door on the porch outside to room 203 used to be able to be opened without any stat check, but now it has no interaction prompt and can't be opened. I tried reloading to earlier saves with no luck.

For me I go to the place and the receptionist simply isn't there. Capitan doesn't call me to proceed the gig, nothing. It's stuck.

Did that mission earlier on 2.01 version and was able to complete it without issue. Maybe update to the current version? They might fixed it in the 2.01 patch.

I had some trouble finding the entrance but I did it, it was either a hatch on the roof or a door on the balcony, I cant remember exactly how I entered room 203 but its possible in the latest patch without 18 body.

Go out to the balcony, go to the far end, open the door. 203 is connected to several adjoining suites.

Blasting through the door of Room 203 will usually make the occupants open up to attack you.

Rooms 203, 205, and 207 have been merged into a single large room by removing the walls that separate them to make a drug lab. 2 of the front and 2 of the back doors have been blocked from the inside.

As of v2.01:
203 front door = works. requires very high strength. IIRC 18 str
203 back door = sealed
205 front door = sealed
205 back door = sealed
207 front door = sealed
207 back door = works. can be used by anyone. requires no skill.

You can easily reach the back 207 door by walking through apt 201. whose door is open and whose resident does not dare cause any trouble and just lets you through.

The map guide incorrectly directs you to the back door to room 203, which is sealed.

From the inside of the drug lab, this is what the back door to room 203 looks like:

clearly entry is impossible.
