Yeah I have ran into issue once again because of this patch. Very annoying when you’re trying to find out who made a contract

Since the last update a week ago in Freelancer, when taking in a oil/water canister, it loads into the map without a suitcase…

Description:
You cannot open the garage door from inside the garage using “Hanson’s House Key”.
Additionally, when attempting to open the garage door from outside the garage using “Hanson’s House Key”, the inventory window opens to select the item, requiring you to choose the key.
Until very recently, there were no issues, so I believe this started occurring after the update the other day.
*Additional Notes
Similarly, even with the keys, the garage doors at Heren West & Jenus’s house could not be opened from the inside.
Steps to reproduce:
- Swap the black and white of the bust in the Janus family basement, then enter the Hanson residence basement from the Janus family basement.
- Take the “Hanson’s House Key” from the basement of the Hanson residence.
- “Hanson’s House Key” cannot open inside the garage door.
- If you try to open the garage from the outside, the inventory will open and you’ll need to select the key.
Frequency:
Always.

Most of the time, patches cause tiny little glitches, but IOI fixes them pretty quickly … or at least discusses them with us … but this feels different … the issues with this patch are far more severe than in other patches … crashes are much more frequent now … these contract and leaderboard issues are really annoying … but i haven’t heard a peep out of IOI about any of it …
IOI … just ease our minds

Description:
I finally bought the playstation 5 version of the WoA. Trophies have been automatically updated on this version but the game itself won’t be listed in my list of games. Also, the game won’t update my play time. It says i played 49 minutes today but i lost all the hours i put into the game so far. It’s very frustrating. My question is: i have a few trophies from the dlc to achieve, will it be updated? What about play time, how can it be fixed now?

Bangkok Elusive Target “Intruder” & “The Dragon”
Description:
Yesterday’s update significantly revised the translated sections,
but I’m reporting that there are still about two areas that remain untranslated into Japanese.
First, the garbled text for the target’s name has not been fixed.
Also, the tournament judge outfit remains untranslated.
I would appreciate it if you could also fix these.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start the mission.
- The target’s name is broken.
- Knock out the tournament judge to see their outfit.
- The name of the tournament judge outfit remains in English and has not been translated into Japanese.
Frequency:
Always.

Contract mode
Description:
In the Contract Mode of the Xbox version of “HITMAN WoA,” there is an unstated character limit for Japanese text input.
When attempting to create a contract in Japanese on the Xbox version of “HITMAN WoA,” input will fail if the title name exceeds 14 characters during contract creation.
Input up to the 13th Japanese character is acceptable.
Similarly, if you input more than 168 characters in the description field, the input will fail.
Input up to 167 Japanese characters is fine.
Japanese is a language that uses both 1-byte characters (referred to as “half-width” in Japanese) and 2-byte characters (referred to as “full-width” in Japanese).
I investigated the exact input limits.
For 1-byte characters, the title can be up to 39 characters and the description up to 499 characters, but for some reason, it’s one character less than the maximum stated.
For 2-byte characters, the title can only be up to 13 characters and the description up to 167 characters.
I already reported this issue in 2024.
However, we have reconfirmed that it was not fixed during the creation of the “Full-Bodied” challenge contract, so we are reporting it again.
There are still 167 characters available for the description, so that should be manageable, but the title, with only 13 characters, makes it impossible to include many of the necessary words.
This is an area that needs to be corrected.
Steps to reproduce:
- Set the language to Japanese in the options.
- Enter text using 2-byte (full-width) characters.
- You cannot enter text longer than 14 characters for the title or 168 characters for the description.

As always

Summary
This issue was indeed fixed in the 9/25 update, but I’ve discovered one problem.
It seems that if you save during a mission and then reload the data, the duck disappears.
To keep the duck, you apparently have to progress through the mission without saving.
Just to be sure, I would like to report this again.

I’ve encountered this as well, on PC (Epic). Aside from the van and ATV, the military vehicle is also affected.
The symbol disappears when getting close to it, though it is still visible in Instinct mode.

There was a glitch with these vehicles disappearing when chosen. They’ve fixed that, but introduced this bug.

Ambrose Island
Description:
The “Forged Fire” challenge has incorrect conditions.
The description states “Light all four braziers while disguised as a metalworker,” but it actually completes with only three lit.
The brazier near Western Beach is not counted.
Considering the “Light all four braziers” Easter egg, it’s clear one is missing.
I believe it needs fixing so it doesn’t count until all four are lit.
Steps to reproduce:
- Light the three braziers near Western Beach, excluding the one located there.
- Lighting just three braziers completes the “Forged Fire” challenge.

I tried this just the other day, but it hadn’t been fixed at all.
It seems like the bug in this challenge has been left unresolved.

Dubai - The Ascensionist
Description:
The security guard on the right side of the entrance conducts two frisk searches.
He seems to have a poor memory; despite having already frisked me once, he gets angry when I enter the stairwell, accusing me of trespassing, and attempts to frisk me again.
Also, as a side note, the issue where part of 47’s suit remains rolled up and exposed has reappeared after starting the mission.
I believe it was fixed once before, but it seems to have resurfaced.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start The Ascensionist.
- Receive the frisk on the right side.
- Even though you’ve been checked, he demands another frisk when you climb the stairs.

Rubber 47

Steps to Reproduce:
- Start any level in Whittleton Creek. Bring the remote micro taser.
- Conceal the micro taser in a mailbox.
- Activate the Taser.
- Retrieve the Taser.
- 47 is immune to the taser, despite the activated tool showing electrical effects.
I have yet to check if interactions will water change with the taser. But I expect 47 would still die if he dropped it into a puddle or something similar.

While there are still some discrepancies in the chronological order when viewed by year,
you can now trace back to the February 2021 patch notes.
Personally, I think the year should be added to the date field in the patch notes.
