Another nitpicky report - the subtitles for the “How to Play” video in the game for Freelancer spell the currency used for the mode as “Mercers” which is inconsistent with how they’re spelt everywhere else as “Merces”.

I’ve had this issue since forever (probably ever since the launch of the Freelancer patch?), where the screen blinks black one time after returning from a successful Freelancer mission. I can’t say I have encountered this outside of the Freelancer mode.
At 4 seconds in:
Any ideas why this happens? Anyone else also getting this every time?

If you go to attend the bar in the highest floor of Dubai with a disguise other than Penthouse Staff, you get a disabled message as “Missing Cognac”.
However if you try the same in other bars, you get “As a Waiter” (which is correct).
I was working on some contract creation, and discovered this. Kindly excuse if it is not a bug or known issue.

Gary Lunn in the Sarajevo Six has had his named misspelt as Garry in the recent re-release for WoA. The original spelling is still in the bios of other targets so…

On the loading screen of The Chameleon, the box with the target’s image isn’t correctly set up. As it has additional requirements, the image should be scaled smaller like it appears on the mission planning screen with a grey background behind the additional requirement - just like how the second objective appears on the loading screen. As it stands, the text of the additional requirement just gets displayed right over the target’s face.

In the Elusive Target The Prince, this guard seems to have attended the same school that teaches teleportation as a guard in The Gunrunner (which got fixed last year).

Freelancer, Haven Island.
One of the possible targets has a “?” character in his name.
Steps to reproduce: Travel to Haven Island in freelancer and check the names of the targets (randomness makes it difficult to reproduce).
Happened once but probably happens everytime with this NPC.

If 47 is holding a propane tank and a briefcase, when you go into your inventory and navigate to the briefcase immediately from the propane tank - the briefcase will still (incorrectly) display the “Accident: Explosion” tag from the propane even though you’ve changed items.
If another item is briefly selected so you can get to the briefcase in the inventory wheel, the “Accident: Explosion” tag is removed as intended.

Description:
Is there a change in specifications to allow larger items to be tucked into the briefcase?
If I am not mistaken, large size items can be stored in the briefcase since January of this year of the freelancer implementation.
I believe that previously Katana, bats, axes, canes, etc. could not be stored in the briefcase.
I think this has markedly changed the difficulty of playing escalation and contracting.
Is this an official specification? Or is it a bug or something? Will it return to the original specification someday?
I did a quick review of the patch notes and couldn’t find any mention of this.
Sorry if this is an oversight on my part.
As an aside, I also consider the fact that the Seeker 1 and Tranquilizer needles can no longer coexist to be a major spec change.
It is very strange that there is no mention of this either.
Steps to reproduce:
- prepare a briefcase.
- prepare large sized items such as Katana, axes, etc.
- these larger sized items can be stored in the briefcase.
Frequency:
Always.

A few patches ago you removed a technique speedrunners used called stored shot.
It’s done by pressing/holding Instinct and then pressing the Shoot button. This would store a shot/bullet such that when you pressed Aim (after storing) it would fire the shot immediately. This was a very useful input technique and I would like to see it back. I’m guessing this was removed by accident since this was in the game from the beginning and only removed this year during the January patch (I believe).
Can you revert these inputs please, thanks!

This pipe in the little room off of Hirschmüller’s Office doesn’t highlight in instinct, even though you can scale the ledge to get to it to climb in and out.

That’s still there. I saw it the other week and forgot to take a screenshot and have been playing it in hopes the one NPC that has that disguise (that I know of) spawns so I could post it, but alas he has not. The pants have terrible clipping. It’s more clipping than intended pants.

On the mission planning screen, the target image is showing the “Any Method” and “Any Disguise” text - which is not how the rest of the game operates. If there is no restrictions, then this text is meant to be hidden and a larger target image is meant to be displayed instead.

Noticed this while playing Freelancer and hastily re-created it in the main mission - if you pull a NPC through this window, the body is marked as hidden. Even though its really not.

In the The Corky Commotion (H1 GOTY) escalation, the “No Agency Pickups” complication is incorrectly marked as being optional. Going to the loadout and attempting to select a pickup spot greets you with a “Not Available” message.

Since January, whenever something appears in the picture-in-picture, if it doesn’t have one of the frames around it (ie “Target Eliminated”, “Briefcase Stashed” or “Body Found”), it won’t display correctly in that the objectives will be overlayed on top of it. This doesn’t happen in all cases, but happens often enough.
During Freelancer, mainly in Mumbai, the PIP won’t have the frame when a body is found so it can also happen there too.
This example of it occurring in Dubai seems to be consistent though.
