HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

If you equip a large weapon while holding a briefcase, the case will hang off the gun

Location: All

Platform: All

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Acquire a shotgun or other two handed gun
  2. Pop it on your back
  3. pick up a briefcase
  4. press the button to equip the gun
  5. The gun will unholster and instead of dropping the case it will hang off the barrel of the gun

The Devil’s own still uses the wrong material for its waistcoat texture:

versus how it’s supposed to look:

the mirror shot is a great way of demonstrating this, because the jacket and waistcoat are meant to have a similar color scheme and sheen but the mirror in dubai always darkens the suit so the whole suit should go from gold to pinkish whereas now the texture remains gold even in the mirror which shows it’s using the wrong material or a bugged reflection

Description: I’m getting an Error message (“Unable to load the requested menu”) whenever I try to use Hidden Stashes.

Retrying only brings up the same message until I “Go Back to Menu” where I’ve been put into Offline Mode and a have to reconnect.

Like so:

So far, from what I’ve tested Agency Pickups seem to work fine, but Hidden Stashes do it every single time.

Happening on XBOX as well

It’s not happening on every stash point, but the pattern is inconsistent … seems like all missions with an even number of stash locations, it’s happening on every one … and missions with an odd number, it happens on the ones on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th columns … of course, that’s just from a cursory observation of a few missions … no matter, it’s really frustrating

Freelancer, Xbox - spawning in at the bottom of the main staircase in Dubai with a car battery/driftwood for the final showdon, I’m carrying the item instead of having it concealed in a briefcase. Sniper still has a briefcase. Bug, or did I miss something in the patch notes?

I know, I was testing various items - I spawned with the item in a briefcase if it was a sniper rifle, if I took a car battery instead, it was in my hand instead of in a briefcase. Previously, taking a battery or driftwood was the way to get a briefcase for the mission.

Description:
Thank you for fixing the issues on September 25th.
I’m very grateful that many of the bugs I reported were also fixed.

That said, I’m terribly sorry to bring this up,
today’s update, contract input is indeed possible in my country’s language, “Japanese” on the Switch 2.
However, it only works for “Hiragana and Katakana within Japanese.”

Japanese is a language that also uses ”kanji”.
For some reason, the current updated text input does not allow ”kanji” conversion.
It’s just missing the ”kanji” element.
I apologize for the trouble, but could you please update again to enable ”kanji” conversion for Japanese input?

I’m sorry for the repeated requests.
Thank you for your consideration.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Play Switch2ver. HITMAN WoA in Japanese.
  2. Create a Contract.
  3. Japanese input allows “Hiragana” and “Katakana,” but “Kanji” cannot be used

Frequency:
Always.

videos or images:
”Kanji” characters cannot be converted.

Latest patch completely breaks/removes some cinematic kill animations

The video I recorded below shows this. The first 25 or so seconds are from a couple of days ago pre-patch and the last 25 or so seconds after that are from today post–patch. As you can see the cinematic kill animation/view is gone.

Some containers seem to be messed up too. Especially the horizontal ones in Marakesh. When I drop a body in there they stay open like the whole way open. Is that another VR/PS5 bug?

Now on all platforms*

Curious if other cinematic kill animations are affected as well.

I’m guessing the bug is related to this vr change

Savor the Moment
Various key moments and kill opportunities are now in third person, allowing you to take pride in your work.

If you take the role of the Tournament Judge and you leave the podium after Bruce Lee wins the tournament, but before 47 announces that the Jiaolong Wu will come down and greet him - the scenario won’t re-engage if you use the prompt on the podium again. Lee and Wu won’t be able to fight.

This becomes a softlock in Level 2 of The Dragon Arcade contract as this scenario is required to playout to avoid the mission failing.

Interesting, thanks. Maybe it’s an intentional change but it seems like a downgrade to me.

I’ll have another look around today. I checked the Caruso smothering out of curiosity and this still has the usual kill cam angle.
