There are several missing sound effects on Freelancer, which were present in the PS5 version in earlier updates and still play fine on the Steam version.

The sound effect for collecting Merces does not seem to play at all. It is silent in all circumstances: when collecting Merces from a safe, collecting Merces found in a small chest, collecting Merces present within the levels such as those in New York’s vault and deposit boxes, and when receiving Merces paid out when you return to the safehouse from the previous mission.

Purchasing items from a supplier also does not play a sound. On PS5 it is silent when it should play a sound effect.

Anyone else noticed significant bugs since the most recent ‘patch’ was deployed?
Since then I’ve encountered at least 3: NPC’s randomly spawning on top of buildings or just in the sky; doors I open that ordinarily would close by themselves just stay open; and most significantly, about every 4 maps or so, at random points, the game will utterly freeze. Not crash, just freeze up completely.
I’m hoping there’s going to be a patch soon to fix the bugs they’ve created as a result of the patch…

Tied to a wider issue from last year. Heaps of sounds went missing in one of the patches and they restored a whole bunch of them. But there is still heaps of sounds missing from the game on PS5. :frowning:

ok so I am really pissed at a few failed perfected runs in freelancer, so here is a desparate ask to fix this:

  1. Platform: Any

Location: Freelancer

Description: The “No combat” objective is misleading: combat is associated with state of Combat above the map (i.e., searching, combat, hunted, compromised, etc.) However, this objective actually fails when anyone is in state of panic, i.e., exclamation point above the head. For instance, if you triple shot, or shot the npc (lethal or not), etc. So you can fail this without ever entering a gun fight.

So, it should fail when you get status “Combat”, not when npc are in panic. Or the despriction should change accordingly.

Frequency: Always

  1. Platform:* Any

Location: Freelancer

Description: The “Don’t blow your disguise” objective is weird: I got into fight with whole Dubai and didn’t lose it, got spotted and had one witness according to No wintesses objective - didn’t lose it. BUT once I got spotted in front of two dudes in one room, it is over.

Same goes here - should be probably renamed to “Don’t get compromised”, i.e., triggers when someone goes orange.

Frequency: Always

  1. Platform:* Any

Location: Freelancer, hardcore mode

Description: Upon exit, SA prestige objective is obviously not completed and wrongly the lose theme plays for results screen, even though SA objective is counted afterwards. It is really nerving in Hardcore for SA objectives, calculating objectives before determining status of campain should probably solve the issue.

Frequency: Always

  1. Platform:* Any

Location: Freelancer

Description: The “Use 0/1 disguises” objective is a bit misleading: it means that you can change it ONCE, not that you can use one disguise in a level and get back to your suit.

It is a minor thing, but probably “Change disguise (0/1) times” would work better

Summary

Platform:
PS4&PS5 Digital

Location:
munbai

Description:
On PS4, when the “Good Quark VOL. 3” VHS Tape is thrown into a blast furnace in Mumbai, a burning sound effect is heard and purple smoke is produced.
On PS5, there is no burning sound effect and no purple smoke.
I don’t know if this is a spec or a bug, and I don’t know which specification is correct.
This difference may have something to do with the fact that the image of the “Good Quark VOL. 3” VHS Tape is not displayed in the inventory On PS5.

Also, just a side note, if I am not mistaken, I think the item is spelled “Quack” and not “Quark”.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. “Good Quark VOL. 3” Bring in the VHS Tape and start the Mumbai mission.
  2. Go to the metalworking district and throw the “Good Quark VOL. 3” VHS Tape into the blast furnace.
  3. On PS4, a burning sound effect is heard and purple smoke rises; on PS5, no burning sound effect is heard and no purple smoke rises.

Frequency:
Always.

Update.
fixed in the September 25, 2025 update.

I too think the purple smoke is wrong.
However, since smoke is produced on all models except the PS5, it seems that the wrong spec is the current spec.
I think it is strange that only the PS5 version has different specifications to begin with.
I hope that this bug report will lead to a real change to the correct specs for all models together.

The amount of times that Agent 47 has removed this monkey from his house only for it to return the next time I start playing is innumerable. PLEASE. IT’S LIKE 47 IS BEING HELD RANSOM BY THE MONKEY I DO NOT WANT IT


This has occurred with paintings too, and it seems like most of the decorations I put up, the game doesn’t seem to remember. The aforementioned primate is the most egregious though. Thank you.

Yes, a lot of decorations are returning and it’s quite annoying. For me it is paitning of Jesus Christ in the hall for some reason…

For God’s sake (pun intended), let me enjoy the paintings of locations, please!!!

Description: The “Arrange meeting” objective doesn’t work half the time: it never activates if you arrange meeting of different Agenda, it barely triggers when all the suspects are up and walking, it SOMETIMES triggers when the actual target is knocked out. It is really annoying, please fix it.

It shouldnt matter the agenda, the objective is arrange meeting, period.

The problem with this painting is that it is connected to the painting next to the ladder in the bedroom, changing one changes the other. I suppose it is the same problem with the other returning furnitures.

Yes! The painting there also changes to poster of Star Fighters, or whatever it was… Very annoying, hope they fix it soon.

Ensure after making any cosmetic changes you either go into a mission or exit the safehouse via the pause menu (this is the most reliable method). This forces a save of your CPD to occur.

And if you’re doing that and it’s still sticking (and you’re a PC player) PM me here or message me on Discord.

@DrVortep for visibility.

Problem is, I did: I tried exitting via the exit menu, and yet the issue persits.
Though I exit through F4 sometimes also: does that mean that I should ONLY exit through “Exit to menu”?
