HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

I’m having an issue with playing on an 5K display. If scale the resolution to anything less than 5K the game will stutter so bad its unplayable. But if I put it back to 5k. It’s fine. The problem is that with another game I can’t use 5K resolution and have to scale down for it to work. So in order to play both games I need to always change my display resolution between native 5k (for Hitman 3) and 2K scaled resolution to play the other game. Is there something I’m missing here to make Hitman 3 work on a scaled down resolution on a 5K display?

Platform: PC

Description : Game does not run smooth as it used to. Unplayable now with constant stuttering if I change the native 5K display to a scaled down resolution.

Additional info:
-Nvidia drivers and Windows 10 updated
-Hitman graphics settings set to default
-GTX 1080 / Intel i7-6700K
-Steam version
-No issues in other games (Halo Infinite, Cyberpunk 2077)

Steps to reproduce: Launching the game

Frequency : Always

UPDATE: This seems to happen because the lower-ranking soldiers are set to use the SOLDIER01-03 voice variations, but isn’t present in the bloodymary SDEF. Changing the lower-ranked soldiers to use BDYGRD01-04 like the red beret soldiers does make them speak as expected. I haven’t tested adding the soldiers to the SDEF, but similar experiments suggest it should work as well.

I’ve also updated my original bug report post with this information, but I wanted to highlight it here just in case it got missed.

Description: Santa’s Workshop Strike Featured contract used mods to create and is impossible to SASO without missing objectives

Steps to reproduce:

Start the game
Load the Santa’s Workshop strike featured contract
Click on each target to see the outfit the creator used.
Realize that you can’t play as Diana on any mission
Realize you can’t get Bartoli 75s without changing outfits, because the only way to get Bartoli 75s is to use a Mercenary blend spot, but the contract reauires “suit” to be worn
Frequency: Its in the contract, it will be every time you load it

Image of outfit(all outfits are modded but new users couldn’t possibly know that so here is my allowed single image)

This isn’t a bug, so please don’t report it to the bug thread.

Firstly, it is possible to SA, just not SO. You need to disguise yourself as a mercenary or head of security and blend in at a weapon crafting station with two other mercenaries standing over it, in a locker room by the secret tunnel in the barrel room. 47 will say something, then it’ll spawn in.

You can change disguises in this contract, so just make sure to change back to your suit when you’ve got the pistol.
Second of all, the suit picture doesn’t matter; just wear any suit. Hope this helps.

So where do we report featured contracts? There is no in game report option. The forums are unclear about where to post about them

There are dedicated posts for each batch of featured contracts. For this one, go here: Urben’s Winter Madness #2.

All targets on the top level of the winery go to a railing. When I was going through the map creating this contract, I don’t recall any potential targets going to the bathroom as I was trying to determine who I wanted to be targets and see their paths if poisoned (the closest I got was the one target on the stairway).

As for the waste basket, I will assume you poisoned him above the wine vats. I cannot recall where he went, but I do remember towards the stairs he will either go to the locations you have shown, depending where on the stairs he was at the time of poisoning.

While IOI adjusted the parameters for wastebasket vs toilet priority a while back when they are in close proximity, this isn’t necessarily the case as the ledge or wastebasket is far closer than the washroom toilets.

While I have appreciated your reports and videos shown bugs, some I have taken as knit-picking than an actual bug, as in the case here.

I’m not sure if this has been reported, but this has been an issue since I preordered the game. I cannot play hitman 3 or any (world of assassination) levels offline. My xbox (series X) states that I don’t own the game. This is not an issue with the other two previous games. Please acknowledge this and help me/us resolve this.

I also have this problem, however i do have a fix.
You need to connect to the Hitman servers when it loadd you into the game, then when it disconnects again you will still have all the maps, that’s the only way i know.

I understand, however if I hypothetically don’t pay my internet bill; I should still be able to play the bare bones game offline.

Fair enough, mate. It is a huge pain a single player game needs leaderboards (that dont really matter imo) and stupid forced internet connection.

I can hardly pay for mine, i wish you luck though. :four_leaf_clover:

No, I cannot even play the game without an internet connection in some circumstances. It says that I don’t own it. It should be on my harddrive (ssd). I should have the bare bones game at least.

  5. None of the settings corespond to the same one in the menu and the launcher.

Question: “When is a Screwdriver NOT a screwdriver?”

Answer: “When it is a Professional Screwdriver…”

So why does this equipment item not count as a screwdriver in Optional Objectives needing a screwdriver (either melee or thrown)?

Kind of makes it pointless to even have.

  2. You may possibly get a shorter version of those noises

Freelancer Bug Report

Platform: PS4

This is probably an obscure bug, but my first mission was to Whittleton Creek. One of the optional objectives was to poison a guard. I used the emetic poison from Helen’s creepy serial killer basement on the Exterminator device at Nolan’s place, and while wandering inside dressed as the exterminator (he’s fine btw, sleeping off a concussion in the bushes in his underwear) while the gas was active, a guard came in from outside, went up stairs and “spotted” me, totally unaffected by the gas. Cost me $1000 bucks, so I smashed him in the head with a soda can and stuffed him in a closet.

Still, immunity to emetic gas in the entire house feels like a bug.
