HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

Are you on Windows Count? If so I pressed Windows Key + R which should bring up the run panel. I then paste this into the run panel and ran it:-

%APPDATA%\IO Interactive\Epic

This should take you into a folder called Epic and in there should be a folder that is titled as a random string of letters and numbers. That is your save game folder. If you delete that it deletes your save games and then the game recreates this folder the next time you run the game.

This keeps your progress too. Although just to be sure you could simply cut and past the savegame folder elsewhere rather than delete it.

Posted a few days ago in the other technical support thread but not had any response so far, not seeing much love for Switch players with connection problems so hoping this is something the devs are at least aware of.

Platform : Switch

Description I’m able to log in and play online for approx. 10 seconds before getting the message Connecting to Cloud Server… and then my game restarts.

Platform: PC

Description: If you go into the HUD menu you can set Mission Stories to Off however this disables Mission Stories completely rather than just the visual HUD of them during missions. This needs to be changed to ONLY remove the visual HUD of Mission Stories.

Also note that if you play missions with Mission Stories off and go through the motions of that Mission Story it still plays out as expected as it should but because it is now off we now won’t get any audio about what is happening. For example if you play the All Seeing Eyes mission story in Chongqing you won’t hear any audio from Olivia or Hush and Royce during their meeting.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go into the HUD menu and change ‘Mission Stories’ from ‘Full’ to ‘Off’
  2. Mission Stories will now be completely disabled rather than just having their HUD hidden
  3. Play out a mission story as if it was turned on and you won’t hear any audio related to the events that are happening

Frequency: Always

I have the same problem. I would accept if certain parts of the carryover could be purged, so the sniper missions were reset and I could do them again.

Sniper Assassin Mode: Hantu Port and Siberia acheivements

Description
The “Pure Poetry” and “Capital Punishment” achievements for completing all Hantu Port and Siberia challenges are glitched when transfering progress from Hitman 2.

I completed all of the Hantu Port challenges and all but 1 of the Siberia challenges in Hitman 2. After tranfering my progress from Hitman 2 to Hitman 3, the correct achievements did not unlock.

I did not receive the “Pure Poetry” acheivement even though I had completed all of the Hantu Port challenges, and instead I incorrectly received the “Capital Punishment” acheivement even though I still had one remaining Siberia challenge to complete.

I’ve since completed the last remaining Siberia challenge in Hitman 3, and there is no way for me to earn the “Pure Poetry” challenge since all of the Hantu Port challenges have already been completed.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Complete all challenges for Hantu Port in Hitman 2
  2. Complete all most but not all challenge for Siberia in Hitman 2
  3. Import progress from Hitman 2 to Hitman 3
  4. Launch Hitman 3
  5. Note that the “Pure Poetry” achievement was NOT unlocked even though all challenges in Hantu Port have been completed.
  6. Note that the “Capital Punishment” achievement was unlocked even though all challenges in Siberia have NOT been completed.

The glass is bulletproof for “mirror, mirror” challenge. I did not remember it being this way, so I looked up some old guide videos on YouTube and sure enough you could easily shoot through it before. Not sure if this is an intentional change that forces you to bring a penetrating sniper rifle or something, but it might be a bug. Might even be bulletproof for sniping too, I’ll have to check.

I think it’s rather feature than a bug.
I did report it myself couple of days ago, but then noticed this warning.

(you’re German, you tell me what it says)

Maybe the fence is under a voltage and cannot be interacted with metal things (crowbar) to break it open, because it will electrocute the breaker. 47 in this case

It says “No trespassing”.

Description: Trophies didn’t Pop. Both trophies Full House (Complete All Dartmoor Mission Stories) and Followed the Trail (Discover all Locations in Berlin) will not pop. When I check my menus, they are all marked as complete, but the trophies did not pop.

I’ve tried a few times to rerun the missions, but no luck.
