I don't know why, but for whatever reason recently I haven't been getting the Catalina troll call for the highjack dupe. The only thing I know of doing differently since not getting it is using the boat to get the monster marker before the Cesar marker in SF.

Does anyone have any idea why this may be happening?

[quote]The only thing I know of doing differently since not getting it is using the boat to get the monster marker before the Cesar marker in SF.[/quote] I'm not sure if I got you right. You mean you take the first call after YKBB at the boat in SF and the purpose it to get the Monster call before the car showroom call? How does that work?

Anyways, these are the reasons I know of that can cause issues. It's not very likely to help you but it is worth a try. ^^ There is a ~10% chance of taking a low priority call if you have high and low priority calls in the queue and the last call/mission pass/... was >=1min ago. Edit: So either take the call before the minute is over after the last mission pass or hold the Toreno call inside to boat for - dunno - 30s and then cancel (let go off shift). That resets the call timer, now it takes another minute for the call to come back in.

Also, for some reason, sometimes you don't get a call in SF - the one you cancel 15s before entering Blood Bowl. Edit: reason: http://www.speedrun.com/gtasa/thread/4cxb2

Without pause buffering, it is likely that the mission starts earlier than the call can come in.

Are you skipping Woozie? Kappa That would explain that the call does not come up - it is never unlocked.

I'll keep that in mind. Luckily it didn't happen to day, but I'll try to keep this info in mind for future runs.

Thanks! :D

Can you upload all saves from the run? I can read if the call is available in each of the savegames, then.
