Thanks for your help I thought it may have been a bug. Instead i think Ive figured out that hacking and lock picking etc scales to your skill. When I turned level 2, 3, and 4 I dropped all my points into the tech skill and bam the codes got shorter and the time allotted decreased. On my second attempt at this game Im keeping the tech and sabotage skills at 1. to my surprise i havent seen anything above a 6 circuit lock and 30 second hacking time allotment. I could be wrong but it looks like the puzzles are matched to your skill. which imo is amazingly upsetting. i have not tested this beyond my two "mikes" so i accept i could be entirely wrong. anyway clearly this isnt a bug sorry to whatever admin needs to move this. thanks again for the advice

New to the game. Playing on easy difficulty. The grey box area was fun but Saudi is a huge leap in difficulty in mini games. examples are below, is this normal? hacking - went from 35 seconds in the training area with large codes to 15 seconds and 4 or 5 character codes lock picking - was very forgiving about how close you were to the line to being exact and a similar time crunch the circuitry thingy - in training they were 4 circuits. my first one in Saudi was 8 circuits and 15ish seconds, my second was 12! What happened? is the game really this difficult? did my difficulty setting somehow change? how do i change it back? thanks for any advice
