Unna,
I haven't heard anything about this mission for years.
Thank you so much for fixing it! These bugs drove me crazy.
You have done a great service to me, I thought that everyone had forgotten. I really, truly, genuinely appreciate it!

You're welcome. The mission deserved a fix :)

Unna's fix would appear to have a side effect though....
The super fun trampolining bug and the end of the mission appears to no longer work with the dml installed :nono:

You fixed the gravity bug too?
You really are an angel!
I think I'm going to do a developer walkthrough of this mission, there's only one other video of it on Youtube and he didn't enjoy it very much.
I wonder if people know about the guards investigating open doors and things of that nature...well only one way to find out! Demonstrate it!

With Unna's dml and NewDark 1.26 installed, I was able to play and finish this mission. Probably could have done it without using a hint from the forums on the switch puzzle in Kourgan‘s tower, but I was too impatient to figure out the solution myself. Finished on Normal in 58 minutes with 1505 of 1675 total loot.
Was it possible to mantle up the gates in front of the City Watch and Kourgan‘s manor before NewDark? I entered the manor before City Watch by mantling over the gate and then got the guard inside who has the key to open the front door by making noise outside.
The backstory, puzzles and AI tricks in Business at Midnight are well done. I especially liked the switch puzzle in Kourgan‘s tower and the floodlight controls in the City Watch. Not all of the environments are convincing: Some outside areas feel flat and empty. Some of the interiors are empty box rooms with rectangular angles. Both do not feel like believable environments. On the other hand, it is obvious a lot of effort went into building this City section with varied architectural structures and wall textures.

I don't think it was possible to climb over said gates in the original version played with "Old Dark". To get into the City watch compound, the player most likely is supposed to go into the sewers and find an entrance there. I usually did that. How exactly I entered Kourgan's mansion, I do not remember.

It's 2022 and we're still out here playing your mission! I'm kind of sad I missed out on the trampoline mantle :laff: By the way, the guards noticing open doors and such is a great touch :thumb:
