So it has been a couple updates since I played, and just revved up 0.31 using a save that was complete up to ver 0.29. Following the walkthrough at the outset of the ver .30 content (line 522), I get exactly four steps when I talk to the shady guy outside the school. I go through the dialogs normally up to the bit where (presumably) he asks if I want to do the task for him (which you are supposed to decline), and all the menu options vaporize. (see image) There's no way to progress that scene. And without going in and trying to figure out what all the variables are that you have to trigger at the hospital with Kendra, there's no way to cheat it; I tried just giving myself the GPS and drug2, but when going to Rebecca's house to plant the device, Jason just says he shouldn't snoop around when her husband is home.
Halp me Obi-bone.
