Monitors that can fire ICA officials in Chongqing are broken.

We would like to have this problem fixed as soon as possible.

it’s not playin for me on digital ps5

I am also a PS5 digital version user.
I have just checked all the stages from Paris in HITMAN 1 to Mendoza in HITMAN 3 where you can bring in sniper rifles, and there is no stage where the background music does not play in my environment.

Platform: PC (Digital/Epic)
Location: Dubai

Description: At the end of the Dubai mission (On Top of the World), the game loses connection to the server (Disconnected error screen). Pressing Retry doesn’t help either; the only options are to Go Offline or Go to Menu, both forcing the game to turn offline. As a result, I can no longer experience the rating screen post-mission, and I cannot complete any remaining achievements (incl. Sky-High Voltage).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Dubai mission
  3. Complete the Dubai mission, exit the mission using any exit

Frequency: Always, for the last few weeks. The error only appears at the end of Dubai, but it consistently always appears then.

Further context:

  1. If I pause the mission midway through and select Replan Mission, the same Disconnect error appears on the planning screen, but it’s always possible to press Retry there: only completing the mission forces the game offline.
  2. I know of at least two more people with the same issue, including a PS5 player, so this issue doesn’t seem to be restricted to one platform.

Details

Platform:
PS5 Digital

Location:
All

Description:
I recently posted about the briefcases in the Agency Pickup that I was unable to retrieve.
I have since investigated the problem and have confirmed that the briefcases in the following locations cannot be retrieved.

Paris / Logistics Trailer,Empty Atic Room
Sapienza / Cafe Basement
Marrakesh / Lamp Shop Alley,Old Headmaster’s Terrace
Colorado / Water Tower,Red Barn
Hokkaido / Moutain Path, Garage
Hawkes’s Bay / Beach Shack
Miami / Parkside Food Stands
Santa Fortuna / Village Construction Building, Eine Cellar
Mumbai / Construction Site, Rooftop North, Train Tracks, Mubai Laundry, The Hill, Carpark,
Whittleton creek / Park Shed, Boat Cradle,
Amblose Island / Boat Cradle, Colonial Ruins
Isle of Sgail / Cistern
New York / Exexutive Floor, Vault’s Loading Bay
Dubai / Penthouse Supply Room, Maintenancr Room, Art Backstage Balcony, Penthouse Ventilation Area
Dartmoor / Bathroom, Graveyard, Hallway
Barlin / Entrance staff Room, SkyLight Access, Overpass,
Chongqing / Arcade, Apartment
Mendoza / Barrel Room, Villa Attic

Upon investigation, I found that the briefcase has the concept of a front and back, and that the contents cannot be removed from the briefcase when it is turned to the back side.
The Villa Attic in Mendoza is the easiest to understand.
And all briefcases that were in areas where they could not be retrieved were placed so that the back side could be seen, which may have made them unretrievable.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. bring the item to agency pickup.
  2. some briefcases are not easy to remove.
  3. It is one more step, but once the briefcase is picked up, it can be retrieved.

Frequency:
Always.

Platform: PC, Playstation, probably the others too

The Escalation tile on the live tab is bugged where it doesn’t show all available escalations. It only shows seven of the 75 escalations available in the game. It shows The Haliwell Fable, The Berlin Egg Hunt, The Jinzhen Incident, The Satu Mare Delirium, The Greed Enumeration, The Lesley Celebration, and The Proloff Parable. Once those seven escalations are completed, the escalation tile simply shows " go to game modes" instead of suggesting any of the other uncompleted escalations for a player.

The ET Arcade tile works fine at showing every one of the uncompleted ET Arcade contracts, the Featured Contracts tile properly shows all of the uncompleted Featured Contracts in the game, but the Escalation tile is bugged. The tile should display all 75 escalations currently available across all of the locations, especially since everything is bundled together as the World of Assassination.

Just a quick note on my previous post. Upon further playthroughs, the crate lid issue affects all of these specific concrete crates on Isle of Sgail.

Summary

It only affects these style of crates, all the others work normally and its only ps5… they’re fine on ps4.

(I don’t think they have these crates anywhere else but Sgail, but if anyone knows of other locations please add to the list, they’re likely broken too.)
