I have staggered through about 70% of the game - maybe more and got to defusing the bomb in Maria’s apartment in Rome.
For me [s]this is [/s]a Mission absolutely Impossible. The walkthroughs say that you have to complete this within 10 minutes at the most - maybe less.
It starts off with another hacking puzzle. The previous one was already difficult - this one is fiendish and I couldn’t solve just the hacking introduction in 10 minutes let alone the tasks following.
What on earth made them insert a shocker like that? It is one of the worst puzzles I’ve come across in years - maybe forever in 25 years.  It is an absolute game stopper just as bad as a bug - and no “skip” function.
If anybody can send me a save game as near as possible AFTER solving this puzzle I would be so grateful - otherwise the whole game is a write off and a shameless waste of money.
They are now flouting BS-5 - not on your life if it’s like this!    

All the savegames from the game.

INTENSE DEGREE

thanks ~ THANKS ~ **THANKS**
You saved my game!!!  
And so quickly !!!
It skipped over the near-impossible hacking part of the puzzle and the rest was easy within the 10 minute time limit.
Thanks once again

Thanks to you also - I did not try your solution (which would probably have worked) since as you can see above I had already done it.
But many thanks all the same
