Hector hangs during gameplay, unable to complete game

Hey, you've probably heard this, but there's a glitch making it impossible to finish the game. In the hostage scene screen I'm not able to talk to the guy that I need to talk to. This happens right after I've finished with one of the demands and need the guy to give me an item. The talking options appear, but not even the red background with the fingerprints.

Any workaround yet? Please fix it. I was ready to give the game just about every compliment, but now that I can't finish it, not so jolly.

    If you restart the game you can exit the Hostage Scene screen, then re-enter it and it should be fixed. Worked for me though.

    Nope, hangs all the time I've tried.

    The first time that happened (in each of my saved games), I get a Windows crash report. From that point on, it no longer reports anything when I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del myself out of it.

    Managed to catch that report there on the event viewer, should it be of any use. My system is in Finnish, so some odd words do occur, but if you've seen crash reports you'll figure it out:

    Same problem. Leaving the scene doesn't fix it, nor does reinstalling.

    Happens to me when I try to talk to Lambert after talking to the terrorist after fixing the clock tower. Sometimes the text of the dialog options shows up (but not the red stripe/fingerprint background, and is unclickable), sometimes nothing shows up at all.

    Very frustrating.

    Any update on this?

    Two other people seem to have reported the same problem in the "Hint Hut":

    If a real fix is out of the question, can we at least get steps to take to avoid the problem?

    I've encountered this error, and I downloaded the game last week so it would seem this issue has not been addressed within the past 5 months, or has not been addressed here.

    Has there been any resolution?
