Cataphract - I'm not sure I'm afraid. I replayed the mission to check a bug not long ago on latest New Dark and didn't have any problems. I've seen the odd script problem but nothing like what you're describing. Sounds like the whole game has gone screwy. :(
Gloria - here is a video showing the jump and frob required to grab the water crystal:

I also just checked how to get the water arrow with NewDark v1.27, and it worked on most attempts. I did almost the same as ffox, but pressed the right mouse key (meaning "grab" in this case) repeatedly and as fast as I could to increase my chance of obtaining the water crystal. However, the player also needs a good timing with that jump, otherwise he/she may still miss the crystal. I usually "feel" when it's the right time to jump while running, but it can be difficult, depending on the player, the lag of slower computer systems, or the exact placement of whatever the player is supposed to grab while flying through the air. It seems, though, that this placement is not as problematic here than it is in some other fan missions I dimly remember.
It may also help to already look up into the direction of the crystal before starting to run. I usually do that.

Okay, precisely I'm currently using the GOG version, with the GOG patch, NewDark 1.27, NewDarkloader, and the enhancement pack you suggested. I wasn't using the enhancement pack at first so I know it's not that. It has to be some aspect of the combination of stuff I am using, but I have no idea what. And it ONLY starts after I
read the journal.

Please upload a savegame. The last one is okay.

Feeling kind of silly here, I've been looking around forever for the ore. I found a bunch of chunks of it in the mine I thought were ore and I grabbed them all plus book, but it doesn't seem to have checked off the objective. Am I missing something?

If you've picked up two chunks of ore and the foreman's book from the table in the mine, the objective should indeed have checked off. Have you dropped any?

btw, I was looking into the Pavoni issue some weeks ago. Here's my notes
1. Frobbing book 1587 teleports Pavoni again and again. Looks like a scenery from Monty Python and the Holy Grail :D
2. Pavoni sometimes is falling into the hole in the floor. It's easy to lure him there. He will drown.
3. Marianne sometimes gets astray. I was setting game_mode_backup 0, then she was gone (I didn't touch her). Found her at 273/290/-9889. She's falling through the solid. Same thing might happen after reloading. I don't know.
3. Pavoni has M-AlertCapHigh and also a Aiwatchobj-link to the player (command: become hostile). Not sure whether this might be an issue to receive this command over and over again.

Yup I picked it all up, it must not be checking off the objective for me. :( I love your mission! A little sad I can't complete it because of the bug, but maybe I'll try replaying it and see if I have the same issues. I loved it none the less, especially
FLAME SWORD!! :cheeky:

I just finished the mission, and towards the very end she kept falling through the ground on reload. Eventually I managed to catch her on the few frames she stayed above the ground. One of the tensest moments in the mission.

Hey, it doesn't seem that the button in the vault does anything. Isn't it supposed to open the vault's gate?
