UP+ Hot Stripper Assassin Action! bug
I go into the Sin Bin, hack the computer, lockdown the peepshow but only one of the peepshow windows closes and only one of the customers leaves. The customer in the first booth just stands there.

Now I can't lock down the peepshow again, because the game thinks it's already locked down, so to make the door to the peepshow stage open to progress the quest, my only option is to kill the remaining customer, which I don't want to do.

Is this a known bug in the UP+?

This isn't a bug, there's something else you have to do to make the other guy leave but my memory is failing me right now lol...

The first guy in the broken window is giving you a hint on what to do if you observe him.

If you want to know what it is, here's a spoiler:
Rob the ATM machine. Requires lockpicking but you should have enough with Bloodbuff if you have a reasonable skill thus far. He's putting money in to keep the window open, and occasionally walks to the ATM to get more money out. But whe window is broken so the lockdown doesn't affect it. When you rob the ATM, he goes to draw money, cant, then leaves the SIn BIn.

If you want to know what to do after that and not mess up the quest, spoiler again:
You need to give cash to the other "working girl" in the booth, or lure her away in the separate room for a "private show". Make sure you feed on her there so she's unconscious. After that go fight Chastity, but don't use guns or disciplines otherwise you'll make a lot of noise and VV won't be too happy about that.
I'm bumping this thread since I have exactly the same problem.

I *did* rob the ATM, but the customer never goes to it, he just stares blankly at the iron curtain, so the quest cannot progress. Is there a way to get him moving?

Are there maybe console commands to advance broken quests, like in the Elder Scrolls games?

UP+11.0
putting in 5$ myself, in the hope of getting whatever script got borked back on track, did not work.

Punching the guy with my delicate Tremere fists --- nonlethal weapons --- did the job *instantly*.

Apparently [1] more physical characters can one-hit him, even with fists. Indeed, another hit from my own fists kills him.

Suggestion @ wesp5: if the script cannot be made more robust, massively increase the HP of the customer, so that all characters can attack him as a workaround.

edit: and when he's done cowering in fear, he goes back to staring at the wall. You've got to admired that guy's single-mindedness :-)

edit2: and then, there is no way to please VV with regards to noise levels, even with just feeding on Chastity; I had to use console command G.Sin_Sound = 0 to please her.
