HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

I still haven’t tried to complete “Closing Statement” on Mendoza, which was my last big bug, instead going to Untouchable, to see if I could get some stuff done there. Hoping Train Surfing works once I get the SA/SO done. Now, on to the issue.

Platform: PS4 Pro, Disc ( Physical )

Location: Carpathian Mountains

Description: Snowing inside the train

Frequency: Always

This has been present since the first time I played it in late April, until now. I didn’t play at all during Patch 1.05, so I’ve only played it, to the the best of my knowledge, with patches 1.04 and 1.06 ( the PS designations for the patches ) In addition to this, my PS4 Pro seems to be running extremely hot during this mission…

It may not look like much in a still image, but the effect is much more pronounced when it’s all whipping past you at 100 kph, and it happens throughout most, if not all, of the entire mission. Even during the cut-scenes at the beginning and end of the mission. I have looked, but cannot find any evidence, either video or picture, of this happening to anyone else.

Platform: PS5 - Disk

Location: Mumbai

Description : Mumbai “Shopping District” Location doesn’t unlock. Consequently, the challenge for discovering all the location is unobtainable and remains at 51/52

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Mumbai Mission
  3. Discover the locations until you arrive at the Shopping District
  4. See that the location remains undiscovered

Frequency : Always

Hey I managed to fix this problem by going to the store menu on hitman 2 and claiming the hitman 2 standard access pass through there. As soon as I did that everything worked again like normal.

Ah, thanks for the correction. I’ll remove it from my bug post.

Weird that H3 has this behavior, though. Hitman 2 correctly suggests Showstopper as the next mission if you own the Legacy Pack. Still a little odd that Hitman 3 can’t manage to do the same.

Platform: Xbox Series X (and S?)
Location: Menus
Description: The tiles on the menu screen flicker like crazy when you move between them. Some of them flicker at an alarming rate constantly.

Make sure you’re watching it in a high enough resolution to see the flicker. On a large TV screen it is truly horrible and makes you feel quite quesy.

Had to force quit H3. PC Epic

When I got into the game I get a flood of notifications from Epic about all my achievements. Things I’ve gotten over the course of… I don’t know when. I think some of them might’ve been from H1 and H2. I thought it did that after the progress transfer.

About the force quit… I was going to try to get 100 completion of challenges for Berlin, but it froze upon stage start. All I could hear was ambient crowd noise. I had to alt+tab and close the window from there.

Ctrl+F4 wouldn’t do it. :slightly_frowning_face:

Platform: PC/ Digital

Location: Anywhere

Description: I am unable to use four of the weapons that I have unlocked in my career inventory with either an agency pickup or briefcase. They show up in the inventory, but disappear in mission set-up. The weapons currently unavailable are the Bartoli 12G Short H, Shashka A33 H, ICA Bartoli Woodsman Hunting Rifle Covert, and the Jaeger 7 MK 2.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Select Mission
  2. equip briefcase/ select agency pickup
  3. select shotgun/ assault/ sniper tab

Frequency: The number of weapons that became unavailable increased over a period of a couple months, and are always unavailable if played online. When switched to offline, they are all available.

Anyone else use either the “carved” knife, or the dagger that doubles as a poison vial? Anytime you use it, whether stabbing or attacking from behind - it doesn’t make any sound?

I haven’t noticed the flickering with my Series S. I’ll check again tomorrow when I get back on.

Yeah, no flicker here on the Series X running at 4K.

Reposting this one, since IOI doesn’t seem to care about immersion breaking bugs.
It’s been MONTHS at this point.

Platform: PC

Maps: All of them.

Description: Disguises and suits from HITMAN 1 use a different, older version of 47s head and face.

This doesn’t happen with HITMAN 2s and 3s disguises and suits including the Signature Suit.

PLEASE fix this annoying bug, it’s only a model swap at best, I know you can do it, IOI.

Follow up. No flickering menus for me on a Series S. Did the ET during lunch and did not notice any visual glitches with the menus or HUDs.

Downloading update to my Xbox One X version right now. I can check on that system later.

Not saying it isn’t a bug, but have you tried deleting and reinstalling the game to see if it persists? I am wondering if it is possible your game got corrupted with the update.

i have been having the same issue, the furthest ive made it without a crash was a mission planning screen

Platform: PC Epic

Location: Loading Screen

Description : Freezing when start game

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Game show loading screen (press enter to start)
  3. Freezing. I try update drivers, change resolution, reboot desktop but game didn’t work

Frequency : ALWAYS. I just started game in first time.

Platform: PC / Digital

Location: Dartmoor

Description : NPC gets stuck in a loop saying things such as “I am awesome, tada!, perfect!” etc. Nothing seems to break the loop. A guard will be stuck in the loop at first, kill the guard, leave to avoid being compromised and come back and Gregory Carlie is stood in the same spot as the guard you killed doing the exact same thing in his voice. I thought this was a one off the first time but I fudged up what I planned on doing the first time, started the mission again and the exact thing happened the second time. Issue persists through saves.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Dartmoor mission
  3. Throw down a ICA Flash Phone and activate it unseen in the sitting room, at the main doors where the two guards stand
  4. Leave and come back after guards stop searching
  5. Observe the annoying NPC repeating the same thing over and over (likely one of the two guards)
  6. Kill guard stuck in loop
  7. Hide until searching has stopped
  8. Come back to find Gregory Carlie doing the same thing in the same spot

Frequency : Every time.

I also have that same issue now do you know of any fix has IOI done anything? To help the players?

sniper assassin challenge for mendoza in french doesn’t says that you need to use a sniper

I found a way to fix freezing starting screen error by disable Epic Social Panel. You can disable it by a way from https://www.reddit.com/r/EpicGamesPC/comments/huwjm0/psa_epic_overlay_bug_with_death_stranding/
“Disable the overlay by moving all EOS*.* in the folder {install drive&directory}\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Extras\Overlay to a subfolder (such as _disabled.”
I just tried it and it seems to work.
edit/ seems like one has to put the folder back every time you close the epic launcher and want to restart it, else you get an error.

Platform: Xbox Series X, digital

Location: Haven Island

The Swimwear outfit (found in the shark hut) is still bugged after all this time. It’s clipping horrendously against 47’s back while running, to the point i never wear it.
