Hitman: Blood Money "you better watch out ..." Dropping bug

Use syringe to poison a sausage. At the point where you wanna throw/drop it, just take it in your hand, holster it and unholster it again like you would do a gun (by the Inventory button/key). The game counts it as dropped and the dog performs the eating and dying animation. Happy gaming.

I found a workaround for this bug that has apparently been a nuisance to a lot of people after feeling nostalgic and playing Blood Money again. The way the "intentional" drop item function crashes the game I thought of non-intentional ways and thought up a few rather weird ones (such as when 47 drops something he's carrying when he wants to drag a body) but they won't end in Silent Assassin rating for obvious reasons. I tried clicking it at him while sneaking and a lot of other stuff. I finally came across this chance solution. It's been double checked and works. I assume whoever's got to this problem already knows everything else on how to get SA rating, so I'll skip the details.

I got a Silent Assassin without drop. All u need to do is run towards your target & push him off the ledge using LMB(let the dog bark....nobody cares about a dog's opinion if there's no dead body around).

You can kill the dog with a gun and still get the silent assassin ranking. Also, when you drag a body, you can stop the animation by taking the victim's pistol (if he/she has one) I tried these methods and was able to reach the SA ranking. Happy assasinations.
