The fixes for the FC challenges unlocks only half-work if the challenges were already complete.

The Sieger 300 Sniper Case showed up in my inventory, the Remote CX Demo Block MkIII did not.

The perfectionist trophy still isn’t fixed after today’s patch. I really hoped it would be.

Platform: PS5

I meet the requirements for the trophy (I even have it in Hitman 2).

IOI DMed me, taking an interest, so I thought it might be fixed with this patch but I guess not.

I was hoping to 100% the PSN trophies for the trilogy, but I’m giving up and moving on to other games until this one is fixed.

Description: The Classics challenges that involve getting specific classics challenges on multiple levels, for example Silent Assassin, Suit Only x17 and Sniper Assassin x17 after the May update got set to 1 for me even though I was close to completing them. As a result I’m left with not enough challenges to complete these collective ones.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Go to Challenges Menu
  3. The Challenges are set to 1 even though I was close to completion and the related challenges are already unlocked resulting in not being able to complete them.

Frequency: Once after the May update

Train Surfing trophy not unlocking although all challenges are complete. This is the only trophy missing from my platinum. Very frustrating.

Since installing the new patch, when the game auto-saves, the ‘Saving’ thing that pops up on the HUD doesn’t go away and is there until the mission is complete.

Location: Chongqing

Description : Hey Guys! Let me start by thanking you for fixing most of the challenges. I really appreciate all the love you’re putting in the game
I still have aproblem with one of the bugs I’ve reported in the past: “Shortcut: Facility Elevator Shaft unlocked but challenge not obtained”
This issue used to be on the Known Issues page but now it’s not listed there anymore. The problem still occurs to me, meaning the shortcut is already open and I have no means to trigger the challenge

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start Chongqing mission
  2. Go to the elevator shaft via the facility
  3. The shortcut is already open despite the fact that I have never opened it
  4. Even though the shortcut is unlocked, the challenge remains locked without the possiblity of obtaining it

Frequency : Always

Additional Info: Game updated to the latest patch 3.30.0

Entirely new to the forum, my very first post basically. I very much have the exact same problem as MichaelPistofian.

Platform: PlayStation 4 Digital

Location: All

Description: Upon downloading Patch 3.30, the collective The Classics challenges reset in progress. I was at 14 out of 17 for both the Silent Assassin and SA/SO challenges and 13 out of 17 for Sniper Assassin, I believe. I am now left with not enough challenges to complete the collective set of Classics challenges as well.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Start the game
2. Go to Challenges Tab on any given destination
3. The Classics challenges are reset to 1/17, despite having completed more than 1

Frequency: Permanent, after downloading and installing Patch 3.30

Attachments:

I can only attach one picture, as I am a new user.

Edit: Assuming that the classics challenges for New York and Haven Island count towards the overall progression for the bugged The Classics challenges, completing a classic challenge post-patch no longer adds to the collective challenge. Before completing SA/SO on Haven Island and now after, the Silent Assassin x17 and SA/SO x17 counter are still stuck at 1/17.

Description : SASO / SA / Sniper Assassin for The Classics are not counting at all. I’ve completed SASO x 5 and SA x 5 already, yet it’s only at 1 for x 12 and x 17 challenges.

Sniper Assassin are not counting correctly as well, showing 1 only when I’ve done at couple of them.

I’ve also went back and done a few SASO / SA / Sniper Assassin for a few missions, not updating at all.

Location: Isle of Sgàil

Description: 47 gets a suit wedgie upon entering from the harbor while wearing The Narcissus Suit. This only occurs on escalations and contracts that skip Lucas’s intro to the location.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Choose a contract or escalation at Isle of Sgàil that allows you to plan a loadout
2. Choose Harbor as the starting location
3. Choose The Narcissus Suit as your suit
4. Start the mission

Frequency: Almost always (when not playing The Ark Society story mission). Seems to sometimes fix itself when restarting the mission.

Impact to gameplay: None, just slightly visually annoying.

Platform:
PC, Digital (Epic-Games)

Description:
I tried to do the mission “Silent Assassin, Suit Only x17”, and tried to earn the “Classic All-Black Suit”. but when I managed to do all 17 missions, the game reset the counter to one.
Edit: I check the challenges and I have now 22/17 but still don’t have my suit.

Hitman 3 bugs as of the May 10th Patch.

UNLOCKABLE EQUIPMENT BUGS

1) I was not retroactively granted the Remote Semtex Demo Block MK III. This was one of the bugged Featured Contract Rewards that was listed as fixed in the May 10 patch notes. The Sieger 300 Sniper Case was successfully added to my inventory upon loading the patched game. However, the Semtex Demo Block remains locked (and impossible to earn) despite the associated challenge listed as complete.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

2) Claw Hammer & Jaeger 7 Covert are missing from location mastery, escalation rewards, and featured contract challenges. They are impossible for new players to unlock.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

3) Tier 5 for Featured Contracts - Track 2 is still missing its reward and therefore will trigger another bug when eventually added. People who completed the challenge too early will be unable to receive the associated and belated unlock.

[ BUGGED LIKE I PREDICTED ]

INVENTORY MENU UI BUGS

1) The inventory image for the Masamune uses a generic katana. It should be updated to reflect its beautiful in-game model.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

2) I’ve reported this for a few years now, but the Small Goldbar is STILL incorrectly placed as the only melee item in the Gear section of the Inventory Menu. It should be organized next to the other melee items in the Weapons section of the Inventory Menu like it is during missing planning.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

Observe how the Small Goldbar is next to the other melee unlocks in the Weapons section of the menu during mission planning, which is CORRECT:

Now observe how the Small Goldbar is the only melee weapon in the Gear section of the Inventory Menu in the Career Tab, which is WRONG:

3) The inventory images for the ICA Remote Explosive MK II & ICA Remote Explosive MK III are incorrect because they don’t resemble their unique in-game models. As a result, it’s hard to tell them apart in the inventory menu at first glance. This was listed as fixed in the May 10 Patch Notes, but it is actually still bugged.

[ PATCHED ]

The inventory image for the ICA Remote Explosive MK II:

Now compare that to the in-game model for the ICA Remote Explosive MK II:

The same applies to the ICA Remote Explosive MK III. Here is its inventory image:

Now observe the very different in-game model for the ICA Remote Explosive MK III:

4) The Number Six With Gloves has the wrong inventory description. It’s reusing the one for the Ashen Suit With Gloves.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

5) The HWK21 Pale is still missing the “Steady Aim” attribute icon when viewed in the inventory menu.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

WEAPON PERFORMANCE BUGS

1) The Druzhina 34 ICA Arctic no longer has the slow-mo ability, but the weapon still has the “Marksman” attribute listed. I believe this was done in error after removing the wallbang ammo.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

2) There are several melee weapons that are missing their sounds when you attack an NPC.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

After extensive testing, these are the buggy melee weapons that emit no audible noise when used:

  1. Antique Curved Knife
  2. Meaty Bone
  3. Sacrificial Knife
  4. The Black Almond’s Dagger
  5. Handyman Wrench

IN-GAME MISSION BUGS

1) Pushing Robert Knox onto Sierra Knox’s car results in a “Non-Target” kill and voids SA. This is the “Tree Falls on the Apple” assassination challenge which worked correctly in Hitman 2. Here’s a video of the glitch.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

2) During the Ark Society, Lucas Grey is missing during the cutscene that plays when selecting the Harbor starting location.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

MISSION MENU UI BUGS

1) All three Bonus Missions for Hitman 1 are labeled as “Seasonal Content” in mission planning instead of “Bonus Mission.”

[ PATCHED ]

2) After finishing “The Final Test,” there is no next mission on the debrief screen to continue the story (even when H1 & H2 are downloaded). “The Showstopper” should be suggested next to continue the campaign.

[ NOT A BUG ]

3) On the stats page, the little rectangle-like shapes that represent your mastery level become unlit after you unlock 100% of the challenges for that location.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

Description : After the update to 3.30 (or maybe playing the free escalation contract in Dubai this morning, I am now quite sure), the last sniper challenge was resetted from 15/17 to 1/17. As you can see in the picture of the challenges of Miami, I already finished the 12/17 step and was up to 15/17. That are all sniper assasinations you can do - as far as I know - in H1 and H2 (I do not own H3 yet, just am using the Free Starter Pack).
UPDATE: I now bought H3 and the problem remains. More specifically the counter is totally broken. I successfully finished the Sniper Assassin Mission in Dubai now, which would lead to 16 Sniper Assassinations in total, but the counter stayed at 1/17. I probably will never use the reward (who uses anything other than the Ghost? :smiley:), but I want to finish the challenge.

2nd Update: I do not know, if you changed something, but since yesterday or so the system is totally freaking out. As I said, I already bought H3 now, so I could do more Sniper Assinations. Actually I did four more (which now are 19 in total). I still did not get the “Sniper Assassin x 17” Challenge, but now the system keeps on counting, but does not reward me. I attatched a new photo, since I can only add one photo at a time as a new forum member.

REMAINING LIGHTING ISSUES

Ok, so first of all, props to the lighting team for addressing the bloom and contrast issues in the legacy levels. From what I´ve seen so far, the blinding lights and darknesses seem to be finally gone and the contrast is not so strong anymore (though I´m wondering whether Sapienza also got a revert to the pre-February filter or not?). My eyes are certainly happier, though I haven´t checked out all the levels yet.

However, there are still some persisting issues with the lights/lighting. Namely:

In MUMBAI, the movie set lights during the filming sequence still don´t work, making the picture on the screen dark, while it should be illuminated and visible (as seen on the H2 screenshot below).


In SAPIENZA, while Caruso´s room is not pitch black now anymore after the patch (1st screenshot), I feel like there still should be sunlight coming in from the southern side. This was certainly the case in H1 and H2 (2nd screenshot), and other parts of the mansion facing that direction - such as on the ground floor (3rd screenshot) - actually have light coming in despite not being exposed to the sunlight nearly as much as Caruso´s room.



PERSISTING SOUND ISSUE WITH HELICOPTERS IN MARRAKESH

I will keep banging this drum, sorry. The two military helicopters making flyovers over Marrakesh still have their sound muted/bugged. This issue has been around since H2 and remains unfixed, whereas in H1 they had a nice clear proper “thumping” sound. The news chopper hovering over the consulate sounds properly (it feels a bit more quiet than it should, but I might just be remembering wrongly).
