Yesterday I installed the latest Destination Paris mod (1.44) and started playing it. So far, the difficulty is a step up from what it used to be, but manageable.
However, I have run into an issue where I am not sure how to proceed. I've poisoned some meat to put a few guard dogs to sleep, starting with the one near the electrified fence (close to the building where the spy starts). Sure enough, it took a bite from it and fell asleep. So far, so good. I've picked up that slab of meat to feed it to the other dogs as well. However, none of the ones I've tried it on, seem to react to it anymore: the one close to the general's office, the one around the entrance gate and the one inside the large hangar all ignore it.
After that, I also found another piece of meat on the roof of the submarine pen, poisoned that one as well, and tried it with that - but that meat also gets conveniently ignored. Since they also don't trigger the man traps, I am stuck with 3 guard dogs I cannot remove silently.
I've tried reloading and I've tried restarting the game, to no avail. Is this a known issue? Is there a solution or work-around (besides going in guns blazing)?
As an aside, at some point I tried to distract an SS officer with a poisoned whine bottle and sure enough he took the bait, drank it and promptly fell asleep. However, when I tried to pick up the body, I was spotted and had to reload my quicksave. After that, however, the SS officer wouldn't drink from the bottle after picking it up, but rather light a cigarette (which he had been doing all that time before I decided to take him out) on that spot and walk back. After a while I managed to knock him out anyway and found he carried the bottle on his person. Could this be related?
