HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

Platform: PC (Steam)

Location: Marrakesh (bug was discovered at this location)

Description: No fire accident kills animation (NPC or target just stands and screams)

I first discovered this bug in Marrakesh when I shoot the oil puddle in the tunnel where both targets meet. Later, the same bug was discovered in The Appraiser ET on the Isle of Sgàil.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Load the Marrakesh mission
  2. Sabotage any oil drum
  3. Wait until the target or NPC stands near it
  4. Shoot puddle of oil or wait for the target or NPC to start smoking

Frequency: Always happens for me

Description: The “Reflection Quality” setting option does not apply, and always resets to “Low” every time the game is restarted. This seems to happen only when ray-tracing reflection is turned on. The options menu that can be accessed before the game starts also does not work.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Go to settings and enable “Ray-Traced Reflections”, and set “Reflection Quality” to “Medium” or “High”.
  3. Close game
  4. Start the game again
  5. Go to settings and the “Reflection Quality” would have set itself to “Low”, and the in-game visuals confirm this.

Frequency: Always

My in-game settings:
Note: Image is desaturated due to taking screenshot with HDR turned on, not an issue with the game. The “Reflection Quality” setting always switches to “Low” every time the game is restarted.

Description: Weird out of bounds bug. The right npc is my target, the left npc is his assassin. Thank goodness you can taskkill this game cleanly …

Some maybe useful details: the target was moving around the Villa area nominally, frequently smoking/drinking (other details: necklace, earrings, hat, black hair, business) near the outside grill (so roughly northmost - west’ish point).

Description: The Concept 5 gunshot sound is bugged. In Hitman 2, it used to sound loud. But now, the sound is glitched. It sounds like a silenced gun but it’s still loud and NPCs will still hear it.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Launch Hitman 2.
  2. Use the Concept 5 in any location and fire it in which it will sound loud.
  3. Close the game and launch WoA.
  4. Use the Concept 5 in any location and fire it and it will end up sounding silenced but it will still be loud.

It may not be right to post this here since it is not an in-game problem, but I will post it here as well, just in case.

“HITMAN 3 - Makeshift Pack,” “HITMAN 3 - Street Art Pack,” and “Trinity Pack” did not show up in my searches at the Microsoft Store in Japan.
“HITMAN 3 - Makeshift Pack,” “HITMAN 3 - Street Art Pack,” will be available for purchase by jumping on the in-game store.
but, ”Trinity Pack” is not available at the Microsoft Store in Japan.

I believe there was a patch note this month for the Japanese Microsoft Store, but it still seems incomplete.

Reproduction procedure
Example 1)Cannot search.

  1. start up your XBOX and search for “HITMAN” in the Microsoft Store.
  2. Select “HITMAN World of Assassination”.
  3. View additional content.
  4. ”HITMAN 3 - Sarajevo Six" is listed, but “HITMAN 3 - Makeshift Pack”, “HITMAN 3 - Street Art Pack”, and “Trinity Pack” is not.

Example 2)Cannot search.

  1. Open the Microsoft Store in the PC browser application and search for “HITMAN”.
  2. Select “HITMAN World of Assassination”.
  3. View additional content.
  4. ”HITMAN 3 - Sarajevo Six" is listed, but “HITMAN 3 - Makeshift Pack”, “HITMAN 3 - Street Art Pack”, and “Trinity Pack” is not.

Example 3)Not available for purchase.

  1. Launch “HITMAN World of Assassination” on XBOX.
  2. Select “Store” in the game.
  3. Select “Trinity Pack”.
  4. The “Purchase” button does not appear and the message “Not available at this time” appears.

Occurrence frequency

Location: The Sarajevo Six Campaign

Description: In the TS6 gameplay, nothing but several lines of challenge strings gets localized into Simplified Chinese. As for mission briefing and Diana’s openings, of course no. This annoying fact applies to some ETs. I’ve sent a ticket in Player Support site even in January or Feb, but till today nothing changes. I know those part is a ‘pre-H3’ problem, but why can Traditional Chinese and many other languages’ localization do better? Really wish an update here. No hostility. Just hollering.

Steps to reproduce: Simplified Chinese localization strings missing in the files, for no men intending to fix it before its release.

Frequency: Historical legacy.

Description: After using an EMP to hack a door, it says Y to Open, but will not open

Steps to reproduce:

Start the game
Load the Hokkaido mission

Trigger the EMP
Attempt to open the door

Frequency: Intermittent, but frequently. Proximity to the door is not relevant.

Attach or link to any videos or images that will help explain the issue.

Platform: PC: Steam

Location: Seemingly all “legacy” campaign locations (H2016 and H2)

Description:
Diana will only introduce the target on the very first play through of a level, and will be completely silent when the target appears on any subsequent playthroughs. This also happens when reloading a save from before they were introduced in the level, even if the mission wasnt completed or failed.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load any Legacy campaign location from Hitman 2016 or 2
  3. Encounter target, have Diana introduce them
  4. Her target introduction line for that Target will no longer play in any capacity
  5. Disabling steam cloud saves, deleting local saves, and playing in Offline mode seem to fix the issue, but again they will only play once, before needing another save file wipe

Frequency: (Did it happen once, or lots of times, and does it ALWAYS happen?)

Always happens. This happens with Hitman 2 as well and seems to be tied to the game saves somehow. Reloading a save without completing or failing the mission doesn’t help. The lines are a one-and-done

This was like my favorite feature when it was introduced in Hitman 2016, I hope its able to be fixed in some manner. Thank you
