"Explosive Liaison" challenge not working (Miami) (SOLVED)

[The Living Glitch]

Long story short: the aforementioned challenge in Hitman 2 isn't completing for me because the bomb somehow keeps being a dud for some reason. I used MrFreeze2244's guide on it and turned on potato-quality graphics for max performance, so I don't think it's lag or timing. But Sierra Knox's car just still won't explode whenever the proper event triggers.

If anyone can tell/show me how to fix this, it'd be appreciated.


SOLUTION: You NEED to be in a Kowoon disguise and it HAS to be the car bomb. The bomb itself is in the safe in the security office, as is Knox's phone number. The combo for THAT is on one of the office's desks. After infiltrating Sierra's pit (the red one) and installing the car bomb, you NEED to find a key card for the bay and infiltrate the Kowoon pit (the lime green one). Then get a mechanic's disguise from there, THEN call Rob Knox. Finally, once you give him the detonator, IMMEDIATELY start running as far away from the overpass as you can. This part probably isn't needed, but it may help. The dolphin fountains and Kronstad building entrance should be far enough.

I DID try that at first. I just also wasn't running away to the fountain area. I think my PC's performance itself glitched out the process; probably too much at once for the RAM to handle.

Less loaded things on-screen, less interference.

Thanks. :) I'm also happy.

I still appreciate you helping me out.

Does it matter how many coins you need to make the call?
