Carrying the rat but cannot find where to place it

Player-reported workaround

A player looking for an inventory drop command reported that a marker appeared at The Dim Lantern in Lowtown during curfew.

Check the current Dagmar's Sabotage objective in the Journal.
Visit The Dim Lantern in Lowtown during curfew and look for the objective marker and interaction prompt. This is different from dropping an inventory item anywhere.

Popularity does not recover after the sabotage event

Fixed: October 16 patch

The October 16 official patch fixed the popularity penalty from Dagmar's sabotage not clearing.

Update the game and check the venue's popularity. Prioritise updating before repeatedly buying replacement furniture or changing staff on an old version.
If the problem persists after updating, record your quest progress, venue name and popularity display and send them to official support.

Follow your chosen sabotage or investigation route and finish the final report to Dagmar or the health inspector.
