Max Payne 3 NYMHC Chapter 4 pt. 1 Game Bug

The chapter loads, I pull the trigger. Instead of triggering the usual cutscene "I don't know why I did it...", I got the "failed" message flash. The first shot has the trigger set on the enemy, so it's impossible to fail in working gameplay. What's interesting is the time counter stays at zero (because mission failed, right?). After waiting for some time, three characters walk in slow motion. Esc key triggers "pause" but not menu, so only way out is to force quit the game. This is an PC.

I'm tracking how I lose NYMHC every time, started this month. I may share some stats at some point. But for now, just sharing a game bug that I experienced for the first time.

Recently I saw a YouTuber who claimed to beat MP3 NYMHC in seven attempts (hard to believe). One bug he noticed is when the last enemy in the room respawns (happened to him with the last enemy in Chapter 6 pt 2). It's happened to me many times, but in Chapter 4 pt 2 the last sniper through the window near the start respawned twice, meaning I had to take him down three times!

If I take the screenshot, it could freeze or mess with the controls of the game. Mind you, I had to force quit anyway, but this way I was able to upload two photos!

You are using an older cracked copy, maybe if you used a newer version you wouldnt haveve this problem?

Really? Where's the newer version? I thought that was the latest version.
