Maze is broken

[TrekGuy]

I got into the Maze to start a round and no targets appear. Furthermore, if I move onto the next screen, then go back I get the announcement that the sequence is complete and to move on.

You actually have to wait to get the announcement to move on. But sometimes it won't trigger, not even after the targets stopped popping up for more than a minute.
Plus, the shooting is broken, too. Sometimes clicking just won't fire and hot detection seems off, too. On the 3rd screen there's a guy with a gun popping up behind the woman with the baby - you can't hit that guy as you will always hit the woman instead.

Targeting and shooting is broken, but two of the above is how it worked in the original.
If you move to the next stage and then go back, you will get the announcement that you completed that previous stage and need to move on. You cannot resume where you left off in a previous stage.
And you need to be patient for the targets to show up. Sometimes they make take up to 15+ seconds to start popping.

I don't get any targets to even aim at. None of the dummies appear. I've tried it three times. I've waited in the first room over two minutes and nothing happens.

I'm sorry to read that. I've only tried a couple of times and the targets appeared after a while (no more than half a minute). Maybe I got lucky?

Fourth time lucky and yeah, I can also confirm that several of the targets - at least six - cannot be shot, no matter how hard you try. A few you can if you aim for the lower legs or above the head but the rest nothing works so its likely impossible to get top score until its fixed.

Collision detection seems to be completely off - later on, a character takes another character hostage and, well, good luck shooting them instead of the hostage, regardless of where you aim your cursor at...

This issue was rampid in the pirated versions going around for years before the GOG release. Speaking of which, this segment of the game still works fine on the re-release of the original version on GOG.

I have a suspicion they used a pirated copy to slap this awful version together.

[DreddBeat]

Yes same here. Even after today's patch, the problem still persists.

How vexing. I am just so glad they released the ScummVM versions. I've already played through those and its a 10/10 game.
