I used Sleeze to enter the matrix at my safe house. I went left first based on blind luck and got the pay data and the main objective. Eve then suggested I crash the whole System. Sounds great but there is no way to do this. If you go back to the main and take the right corridor and hit the camera node and continue you enter a switch room with two nodes. Only one can be manipulated and it moves random data to no effect. The CPU switch node cannot be interacted with at any time. The final passage north from the main room never transitions to let you through. I'm guessing that is where the "crash the CPU" option dwells.

Also the 1,000 NY pay data payment never hit my account. There appears to be no way to sell the pay data which does not appear as a mission item or inventory item. My only guess is that there is a tiny chance I will get this money somehow after the main mission but I doubt it. Looks like a further bad bug.

Ughh Bug is even worse than I thought. Its GAME BREAKING. Mission objective was never updated and completed when I went to the left and hit the main node. I leave the matrix but I cant get my main character control back. I didle in the matrix till the alarm go off and kill the Knight Errant Hit squad and then the game just sits there. It still thinks I need to do something in the matrix and nothing in the plot will advance, *sigh*. I was really looking forward to this game.
