Bug during first mission?

[TheRealSuReSHoT]

I just bought this game and started playing. Right in the following mission, when I have to follow that one guy as he runs through shops and such along the harbor, after climbing a fish tank, he stops, but is still marked as a target, and i stand near him, then get arrested by the police and get the failed mission screen. One time I kept running after the guy I am chasing stops, then I get the warning I am losing my target. Is there something I am missing?

This has happened to me before a long while ago when the game first was released. I just had to restart that part a few times until he starts moving, or wait for him. Moving forward without him usually doesn't help at all, and just makes the cops kill you. Other than that problem, the other missions in the game should be working perfectly. I'm sorry for that bad experience. I highly recommend the *free* HD textures DLC to fix some major model problems in the game (you probably already have it, but it'll fix stuff in the future like disappearing models, strange clipping, etc.)... this shouldn't make a difference in that part of the game, but just in case.

I don't know why this problem was never patched by Square Enix. It's a fairly horrible first impression.

Since you posted this an hour ago and I see you're still in-game for Sleeping Dogs, I assume you've had your problem fixed. I hope...

Thanks for the response. I actually kind of had the bug fix itself. I decided to keep running, and after the short jump-off-the-roof-to-the-dock sequence my target suddenly reappeared in front of me. It REALLY was a horrible first impression, to have my first mission bug up like that

Yeah, I honestly was worried after a bit that the game was pretty much over at that horrible bug. Luckily, with patience I was just able to get past it. I'm glad you got the problem fixed though.
