Game Over after mission 3 !!!!
I've just rescued Emily, I leave the Golden Cat and suddenly it's GAME OVER. " The loyalist conspiracy has been dissolved" is the message that comes up on the "ESC" screen. End of game, no resume, just reload or back to windows etc.

I'm playing non lethal and have neutralised the two brothers. What am I doing wrong?

Someone please help as I would like to play for more than three missions for my £35!!

sounds like one of the loyalist NPC character is dying.

I was goofing around and possessed Havelock and got that same message.

I choked out Pendleton and got the same message.
I think the only way to do the nonlethal approach to this mission is to do Slackjaws sidequest.

I did the slackjaw method and got both brothers neutralised, game over. So this time I went in like Rambo and got the brothers properly toasted. Same thing. End of game.

I wonder if Emily has a glitch? I feel a reload and restart coming on.

Did you let her run to the door and open it? Maybe not opening the door she waits for you at after she runs away leads to that effect.

Yes I did. I opened it with the master key, she told me where she'd be waiting and she was off. I got the journal entries confirming that the mission was succesful and I should meet up with her at the rendezvous. I opened the door and confirmed I was leaving the golden cat. The next loding screen was ok, and for a few seconds I saw the next scene with Granny Rags in the distance. I don't get past that part.

I just replayed the mission and retraced my steps out of the golden cat front door and tried to leave the area by going back to the distillery district the long way. No joy. Soon as you leave the area by any exit and the loading screen finishes, its "Game Over." This is not funny.

I also validated my local cache files, and they were fine. Ho hum, delete/reload/restart here I come.

Did you kill the brothers or knock them out? I'm pretty sure you either have to kill them, or take up Slackjaw's offer to let him deal with them.

Played through twice, did both methods ( succesfully ) with same result.

I´m on my second playthrough (First Chaos, now Stealth) and just finished the Golden Cat,both times succesfully, you´re definetly missing something, don´t think it´s a bug.

i just played the whole game, and i had no problem with it...
" delete/reload/restart " may be the best way to go

Ya, you cant just choke out your target to get non lethal.. lol

This is wierd. I just turned the computer off and back on, went back to my last save and everything is ok.
What is going on with this game?

Bump. This bug is still present, as I just encountered it. No NPCs see Emily, and yet... the same thing just happened to me regardless of which exit I took from the Golden Cat?

Maybe Samuel's spawn point lost sync with the boat and he is falling into the water when you get back to that area.

Anyway, since you restarted your computer and everything is working, I think that maybe some information that was stored in volatile memory was messed up, and having to reload and recompute everything in RAM caused the issue to resolve.

Maybe it is late, but i found the solution, before meeting emily get back to slackjaw to finish any side mission,go to emily after that. Solved my problem that way.
PS:sorry my english guys
