I started from scatch, re-downloaded the mission and played it on all 3 difficulty levels. I got the objective to find the remote on all 3, but the remote was not there on "Hard" (the easiest setting). It was on the bench in the correct place on the other two. Possibly this objective was not supposed to trigger on the easiest setting and so the remote isn't there. It's the only thing I can think of, anyways.

I've been through it on expert and no remote

I believe it's a simple rendering issue. The remote is inside the bounding box of the workbench and may also intersect with the other objects on the workbench. Dromed/Thief decides if an object is to be rendered, based on where its center point is. If it's inside a terrain brush, the object vanishes. If it's inside of another object, it normally doesn't matter, but Dromed sometimes has it's own point of view....

Why does it work properly for some people and not for others, or on one difficulty but not another??

But seriously, maybe different graphics cards and Direct X versions are the cause of the problem. I've had trouble working in DromEd, using a Hercules Geforce II MX card. Just a thaught. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I tried it on the easiest setting and the remote wasn't there but it was on expert. So I looked in Drom and it does have difficulty destroy 0 on it so it shouldn't be there on easy. Must be an objective prob then. It looks like it should be there on both of the other settings though. This is a problem that the author should correct for a Final release.

I'm playing on normal and I can't find the remote either but I accidentally found a different way to check off that objective.<br /><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><div style="background-color:#000080"><font color="#202080">In the boxcar with all the robots, I smashed all of them. When I picked up the body of one of them, it checked off that objective. Only one particular one does it.</font></div></blockquote>

I went down the hallway from the dining room (the hall with the steam) and BOTH doors were unpickable AND the basement key didn't work! How did you all get through?
<br />Also, what's the point of turning off the basement cameras is all you have to do is run across the hall into the sleeping quarters?
