Even I’m having the same problem. I’m running he game on my PC, and am really frustrated with this health bug..Taking all the fun out of the game
The best thing I could come up with was running the game with a trainer, so that i’ve infinite health. At least I don’t die because of the bug now

I have been playing Mafia II for a while now, really an awesome game. However, I am at chapter 10 where this annoying bug appears and I can’t continue the game.
When I start the mission I am spawning under the ground, and if I move – I fall under the town and I’m just keep falling…

September 15th, 2010 at 12:25 pm
I can’t handle it any more.
I hate 2k games, i will never buy another game of this company. They tried to protect the game from copies and pirates and as a result you have to spend a day to install it. I tried many ways, many tricks, the game DOES NOT START.
I spend 50 euros for a stupid game which i cannot play. fools…

Help plz stuck at chapter 6 while fighting this irish guy..starting can hit him but awhild more cant even touch him…help plzzzzz
September 29th, 2010 at 11:53 am
In Chapter 6 the fight with O’Neil may just drag on forever. This is what should be done to skip to the next scene. You simply lay down your arms and let O’Neil keep punching you insanely. In my case, I just left the game unattended and went away doing other things. I got back an hour later and the game has moved on to the next scene.

Got past the scene where you beat up the guy picking on your sister, went to joes house and it goes to loading screen and never loads the scene in joes apartment .. tryed reinstalling and update. Tryed lowering all settings to see if it would change anything , but nothing seems to work. wtf is going on with this game…

My personal PROBLEM WITH MAFIA 2 is this: After playing 9% of the game,in the chapter 3, after being at the port, and I’ve returned to Freddy’s Bar to meet Joe – the screens is blacks out (with a “loading” logo in the upper right corner). I can hear the audio, but there’s NO PICTURE!
Does ANYONE have an idea how to solve this?
January 12th, 2011 at 8:09 am
Ok, i got through the part with O’neill no problem (A miracle if I see these posts), and after that you have to train with peppy. you have to dodge and hit him back, well the dodging is working. But the punching isn’t working. I can’t perform the counter-attack somehow. I do click when the game tells me to click. Plz help

I get flashing like lightning.Also no map when I press the button, and red line that shows driving route is now 2 red lines each going in a different direction. Fucks up my whole game! Anyone else have this problem? I guess I will play this game on Xbox 360. So much for Steam.
