Platform: PC / Digital  
Location: Chongqing:  
Description:

I opened this shortcut by the inner courtyard in Chongqing.

 ![image](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/a/a68542b0aa409bad14d334c6402281d7b4689ef2.jpeg)

But this challenge for shortcut to the inner courtyard didn’t pop:

 ![image](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/0/008d9759f85c0a031af4b89aae5300bba3ac386e.jpeg) ![image|690x388]

As I have yet to open this shortcut:

 ![image](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/c/cd20d4113f27a437b66568b4cfc734c8dad74931.jpeg)

But this challenge somehow inexplicably popped:

 ![image](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/3/392ee8f88bc67f81e2479e34c3a2eceed406d3a2.jpeg)

After opening this unopened door the inner courtyard challenge finally popped. So these two challenges are mixed up. Not a big deal, but still wrong, and potentially confusing.

_ **ISSUE 1: Stuttering/performance issues** _

**Platform:** PC, Digital

**Location:** all

**Description:** There seems to be a bug when the game will pin one of the CPU threads to 100% causing horrible stutter in the process on a high-ish end PC. Game normally runs around 100fps but while stuttering GPU usage goes as low as 3% and fps can go into single digits in extreme cases. If you wait for some time the game usually recovers while looking at the same scene so it does not seem to be a hardware performance issue.  
Spec: R9 5900X, 64GB ram, RTX 3080 game installed on NVME SSD. All settings maxed out, Variable rate shading Off, 4k resolution, HDR on, VRR display.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. Start the game and observe CPU usage
2. After some time game starts stuttering, sometimes drops one frame, sometimes many more, GPU usage goes down, one of the CPU cores gets pinned at 100%
3. Stuttering goes away on it’s own even in the same location and view
4. Stuttering is often followed by the ‘Connecting’ window but not always.

**Frequency:** random, sometimes after hour of game play, sometimes immediately. every 10-20min on average.

_ **ISSUE 2: Game Lockups** _

**Platform:** PC, Digital

**Location:** all

**Description:** After the latest patch game locks up on loading screens. The game locked up on me during loading screen after finishing the Dartmoor map and during loading a save file on the Berlin map.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. occurs randomly on loading screens.

I’ve got the Xbox one Hitman 3 Deluxe edition on disc, successfully transferred my Hitman 1/2 progress, but every time I try to load the game I get a save game error and every time I retry it continues to fail.

I’m signed in to my Xbox profile and connected & it worked last night, but now it does not. There is approx 99Gb of free space.

The game plays fine but the autosave also fails and it is impossible to save or load anything.

I’m new to the forum and can’t see it anywhere else and it says the servers are online.

 ![image](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/4/4e7371b0ffd779af83d43e0163b3bf6397f6d15c.jpeg)

To replicate this issue, I guess you just need to load it on the Xbox and press A to play with the profile logged in.
