Just random. Usually they’re occurring either when the game starts to load either a mission or loading whatever comes next after finishing a mission. Getting a lot of crashes within the Milla ET too though at random too.

In my experience, app crashes frequently occur during actions like “restart,” “load,” or “return to the menu.”
Additionally, I’ve noticed they tend to happen when moving up or down floors with a large number of NPCs present.
Stages prone to crashes include Miami, Berlin, and this time, Harbinger ET.
I’m not a programming expert, so I might be way off base, but I suspect it’s more likely to occur when memory is reset internally.

In my case, I experience frequent app crashes on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Steam.
My PC specs（It’s a slightly older PC.）:
・Windows 11 Home
・Intel Core i7 8700 CPU 3.20GHz
・16GB RAM
・GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

While playing a few of the previous batch of Featured Contracts (such as Colorado) - I found that eventually, restarting would reliably crash the game.
What will eventually happen is that the “Loading” dialog box comes up in the bottom right, then almost immediately the game freezes, then finally crashes.
Is the game setup to automatically collect (and maybe upload, subject to GDPR) minidump files? If not, it should be since your developers can pair them with debug symbols to determine where the game engine is crashing.

I haven’t got a reliably replicable scenario for when these happen, but since summer 2025 I too have been getting intermittent crashes in WoA that always, invariably happen during the sequences where the game has that “Loading” barcode logo/text in the bottom right corner of the screen.

For some background: Whenever I report bugs internally the first questions I get is which platform it is and if we can trigger it reliably like e.g. equipping a certain skin or looking into a specific direction on a certain map. Trying to figure out what could be the common denominator for the crashes. The “Loading..” pop-up could be good first hint to look. Putting the detective cap on for that one!

Cheers Arti - I play on PC / Steam, for info on the platform side of things.

I can confirm I’ve had some crashes happen on the arcade. I’m on PS5.
One of them happened when the game was going back to the main menu after I died. For some reason, this counted as “alt-f4 ing" and I was able to replay the level without waiting the 30 minutes.
You do an amazing job here & on stream. I appreciate your hard work.

Flash and Concussives should be split too

Not sure if anybody has mentioned it but some NPCs have changed their appearance:
This is the first one I’ve noticed so not sure if there are even any more but yeah this seems pretty random…
Only thing I can think is maybe something to do with experimenting with female disguises for coop?

I think this model is used for the cult member maid in The Harbinger. Might be some case of an oversight like copypasting the character from the main mission then accidentally changing the model for both.

I noticed that in The Contagion & The Harbinger there are Green Herbs & Blue Herbs. Perhaps a nod to the original Resident Evil game. How do they work in Hitman?
This has just happened to me as well. First time I ever recall experiencing a crash of this nature. Today is the first time I’ve played WoA since the latest patch.
Crash occurred on the loading screen returning to main menu following a death during The Contagion ET Arcade. Platform is PC (Epic).

When trying to unlock the The In-flu-ential Duck, I played both The Harbinger & The Contagion, but the new duck didn’t unlock. My account is also linked.

Also happened to me when I died once in the Arcade, and also when I hit Replan Mission. Game crashed instantly. 
At least it might have blocked the 30 minute time-out?
Though I also just read last night that apparently the “time out timer” counts down while you’re in-mission. So if you spend 30 mins in an Arcade and fail, it’s like there’s no timer at all?

Does anyone received The In-flu-ential Duck? It’s already over 48 hours.
Its broken at the moment.
Some people don’t have it showing in their IO Account or in-game.

I have the In-flu-ential Duck now. One thing to note is that it isn’t in the Explosives or Poisons category. It’s in the Tools group with the other emetic grenade items.

I totally forgot about this bug for years but finally I’ve been able to get my 5 stars on level 5 <3
(On the other hand, it seems the bug is still there on level 2 - I could only get 5 stars if I KO’d Finley first :x )
