Description: Mirrors are causing a micro-stutter each time during rendering since the last update on May 24th.

It’s subtle but when a mirror has to be rendered in the scene, frametime is increasing and a stutter appears. It’s not huge but it’s enough to notice it.

I took Dartmoor as an example because the mansion is filled with a lot of mirrors, so this micro-stuttering issue is more noticeable. In the image below, you can see the spikes in the frametime, I created them by turning the camera several times towards the mirror.

I installed the previous version of the game (with january 2022 patch), and no issue at all with the same setup and drivers.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Set the “Mirrors Reflection Quality” setting on LOW or MEDIUM or HIGH
  3. Set Ray Tracing OFF
  4. Load the Dartmoor mission
  5. Go in front of a mirror

Freqency: Always

Nvidia Drivers tested : 516.59 (latest), 516.40, 512.96, 512.95, 512.77, 512.59.

Specs :

Windows 11 Professional (last update)
Intel Core i7 9700K
G.Skill 8 Go (x2) DDR4
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080

Settings :

With Ray Tracing OFF and Mirrors Reflection Quality set on LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH : Mirrors are causing micro-stutters everytime they are displayed.

With Ray Tracing ON and Mirrors Reflection Quality set on LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH : No micro-stutters when mirrors are displayed (just an overall drop in performance. This is expected, Ray Tracing is resource-intensive).

With Mirrors Reflection Quality set to OFF : No micro-stutters, and obviously mirrors are just using cubemaps fallback reflections.

This stuttering issue was introduced with the latest patch (3.110.1). Since mirrors use Planar Reflections not Ray Traced Reflections even when RT is ON, I suspect that this micro stutter behavior can be avoided with RT OFF. Planars Reflections used by mirrors were always stutter free since Hitman 2016 to my knowledge.

Description: At the beginning of a level, the “Saving” icon will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen and remain there for the rest of the mission or until you pause the game or go to the map.

It normally happens about half the time, but the past couple of days it’s been every single time I’ve started a level.

Location: Mendoza

Description: While playing the second level of “The Envy Contention” attempting to poison Emma Carlisle while serving wine after poisoning and killing the man who eats the food at the small table (to the left of the serving stand by the entrance to the hallway connecting to the Villa Basement on the third level) will results in a softlock where Carlisle will not approach the counter, and the player can not leave the counter. (Also, Carlisle seeing the corpse of the man seems to be what causes this glitch)

Frequency: Reproduced 5 times during trials.

Description: There are two beer bottles where should be one.


On bar nearby waiter starting location are two beer bottles placed on each other. There should be however only one, as can be seen in Season 1.

This probably happened during porting mission to Hitman 2, as this bug was already presented in H2 and has not been fixed yet!

Frequency: Always happens.

There might be other places like that, but one in particular is a bottle that you can poison for Jordan Cross. You could shoot the bottle(s) and one will remain.

This was also an issue (not sure if it’s still like this or not) in Sapienza where there’d be 2x bottles (with poison prompt) in one spot. I was possible to poison one of them, but the intended target might pick up the non-poisoned one.

Where is it exactly? It is likely still an issue.

If it’s still there… The one I’m thinking of is across from the one where you’d poison Dexy Barret(sp?)'s wine glass, up on the top floor. The beer bottle the Jordan Cross drinks from if you interrupt the recording session. :thinking:

She appears as her model during the Censor ET, an issue which was fixed before (thanks folks for fixing my issue with the grey npc images :smiley: ) but when the ET arrived it broke again, like some of the civilians by the beach for the Twin ET.

Location: Ambrose Island

Description: If you create launch contracts mode and walk over an “undiscovered area” you are unable to progress the challenge when you go to the main mission.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game.
  2. Load Ambrose Island (or any location possibly) in create contract mode .
  3. Walk over an undiscovered area .
  4. Quit create contract mode and go back to the selected mission (Ambrose Island for example).
  5. You will notice that in the map that the undiscovered area disappearing preventing progression for the challenge.

Frequency: Always I guess since I can’t clear the challenge

Screenshots
Here I loaded in Ambrose Island and walked over 2 “undiscovered locations” (Western Beach and Farah’s Place) in create contract mode and this is how it looks like now when I load in the normal main mission.

I walked over to those two areas and now the challenge won’t progress at all. Right now on my main account I’m stuck on 7/12. I have been able to reproduce this bug on a new fresh account.
