Blow Your Cover bug, can't play mission. Can't progress game.

[Wafflesauce]

I'm having a really weird issue with the mission Blow Your Cover that I'm not finding any results for on google.

This mission apparently does have a track record of bugs from my searching but none of them are what I'm experiencing.

Right as the mission starts, I get the objective to take Playboy to the deal and then within 15 seconds the mission just ends.

No failure screen or anything. Playboy's AI just turns into a civilian, wanders off, and the marker for starting the mission with Elizabeta pops back up where I can repeat this fruitless cycle as many times as I want.

The only mod I had was for restoring the radio music and it never even required downgrading versions.

Even then, I uninstalled it, verified game files, right back to vanilla as can be and the glitch is still occurring.

After some more testing it seems like whatever bug this is, is baked into my save file since I also tried the game on a separate PC with a clean install and it was the same story.

I've tried framerate locks to 30 and just about every solution I can think of

So if anyone's got any advice that'd be good cause this is quite literally game breaking. I cannot progress the story.

any chances that you downgraded your game
that might cause problems and bugs

That is not a fix for the whole mission, later the same thing happens, when you kill all the cops at the rooftop and you get wanted level Playboy X still turns to npc and mission ends abruptly. I guess this game will NEVER be in a good state on PC, this bug is just unbelievable.

I still haven't found a solution for this, I reject downloading another save file or other crappy solutions.

Whatever is causing it, it only starting doing so this month, which is extremely bizarre for a 15 year old game
Edit: Apparently it's caused by version 2.1 of the fusion fix mod. unfortunately the only way to get past the bug is either update and start a new save or use a trainer to skip the mission

I tried everything, fusion 2.0, 2.1 & 2.2, Vanilla, Downgrading the save file, Alt Dialog On & Off, updating graphics drivers, restarting, I don't know what else to try.

I even tried a trainer as suggested in another post, which when teleporting to another location the cops last longer, but as soon as i loose the cops, the mission abruptly ends and he turns into a normal npc.

Yeah checking a ticket on the github the only way to skip the bug without a trainer is to start a new save https://github.com/ThirteenAG/GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix/issues/291
