I think this has been mentioned earlier in the thread, but the Gym and upstairs bathroom mirrors are broken as certain LOD’s only have one model, gets treated as the “highest” quality and de-renders them, which makes certain suits such as the Snow Festival Suit look really weird.
As an aside, I made this video a few days ago, but I hesitated on posting it here in spite of the useful info to share due to me being unsure on IOI’s stance on showing 47 out-of-game; they seemed fine with my SFM stuff after all, so they don’t appear to mind messing about with their models in art, but then again, this could be argued as being different from showing an untextured 47 in 3DS Max, even if I’ve framed it as being for educational purposes (I.E; This is why the LOD issue happens), and I deliberately keep coy about certain things. There’s a lot of ambiguity, which makes me nervous.
Already mentioned in bugs, but one of models of suspect (black man with baseball cap, pink shirt and grey hair) cannot be poisioned with dart guns. I tried it with both kalmer and sieker, and he did not react to it. I did poision him with remote device, but dart guns did not get any reaction from him. This made it impossible to get Poision target - Dart Gun objective.
THESE objectives severely limit my playstyle and are not fun to get over and over and over and over. I don’t think you should remove them at all, they’re fun sometimes. However this combination offers almost no variation at all in playstyle.
So. Fucking. Sick. of the psycho guards in Sgail. Twice tonight I’ve got killed because some random guard opened fire on me without provocation and then the whole level somehow knew where I was. It’s my favorite level and I don’t want to have to avoid it just because of this stupid bug. How did it even happen? The gard AI on that level was fine before Freelancer. I hope it doesn’t happen in contracts mode at least.
Why am I entering “Combat” when I’m totally isolated with a single civilian target!? So annoying to lose the “No Combat” objective for a perfect run while still achieving a Silent Assassin, Suit Only prestige objective.
I’m playing in hardcore mode in this last week, also I’m so “crazy” to don’t quit the game if i do some mistakes, so I’m going to do it legit just for my personal preference. Yesterday something happened. I was in dubai with the Hide and seek timed objective, which is usually the objective that I prefer to do if the other sucks… I killed my targets and at the exit, with 2 minutes left on the timer, the game decides to ruin my entire campaign. I don’t care about merces, I’ll make it them in a short time, but losing progress for a bug is another thing… At this point I’ll just go for the 100 mastery and then I’ll wait fixes from IOI. It’s a fun mode but they have a lot of work to do.
Or just use a different prestige objective that success or fail is determined mid-level and not at the end. That way if a glitch sets in you can just use the exploit reset.
I don’t mind the Silent Assassin prestige objectives, because I normally try to play the game as close to Silent Assassin as possible, anyway. But I do wish those objectives would be adjusted to be compatible with the normal objectives. Multiple times now, every single map for a Syndicate will have an objective to eliminate guards, yet I still get the Silent Assassin prestige objectives. Like, those aren’t compatible, and it bothers my completionist self. Maybe there’ll be one shitty option, like a timed prestige objective, but I’d prefer if the game did a check to make sure all 3 prestige objectives are fully compatible with at least one of the available maps.
I agree, this objective is buggy. I had assumed “Combat” meant the guards know who I am and start shooting at me. But I’ll fail the “No Combat” objective simply if the guards get excited and pull out their guns, like if they see a target get shot but can’t identify where the shot came from or who did it.
