HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

I want an answer no matter what the result is. I swear to God I didn’t play The Splitter.

The Elusive Target concept is built the way of one-off thing.
If you finished it or failed it for whatever reason it can’t be replayed.
It’s just the way it is, like the Sun is shining and you can’t turn it off no matter how hard you’re trying.
Elusive Targets are being reactivated time to time, and I’m sure it’s not the last time The Splitter is brought to life. So next time be sure to get rid of him properly and get all you want from him.
You also can buy The Splitter Pack and play this target as much as you want in an Escalation type of mission. With that you may get ready for the Elusive Target comeback next time and get your satisfaction in Elusive Target mission.

Sorry to upset you, I know how frustrating it is, but if you completed or failed an Elusive Target there is no way to replay it

Being on the very edge of the map in this part of the Cocoa Fields (at any point from where 47 is in the screenshot below forward) causes the minimap to bug out. To enter this area, come here and the go as close to the edge as the game will let you.

  1. The image in the minimap disappears.
  2. If you push F1 (Steam) or Options (PS5) and go to the map tab, the entire map is just gone. Unless you change it to view another level. If you then change it back to the correct level, the map will load. Minimap will still be empty once unpaused.
  3. While you’re in this bugged area, if 47 changes the direction he is facing the indicator in the minimap doesn’t move.
  4. As you walk along the rather long stretch of bugged area - the minimap is frozen. The indicators for the other NPCs/targets won’t move to indicate the game is aware you’ve moved from where you entered the bugged area.

The disguise shown in the tile for the Podium start doesn’t match what 47 will actually be wearing upon loading. I assume the disguise shown in the tile is an old pre-release version of the disguise.

Platform: Switch 2 /Game Key Card

The Frame rate lock doesn’t lock properly

Description : The frame rate keeps switching to unlocked when it should normally remain locked. This happens more or less randomly, when watching a briefing or when defeating a Syndicate in Freelancer.

Steps to reproduce: Just defeating a Syndicate in Freelancer or watch a briefing.

Frequency : Always with Steps to reproduce

Platform: Switch 2 /Game Key Card

The Frame rate is inconsistent (Handheld & Docked)

Description : In some scenarios, the 30 fps lock fails to maintain a consistent 30 fps. However, I think the Switch 2 is capable of better. This happens when you get too close to the weapon display case in Freelancer, where there is a significant drop in FPS, or even in Mendoza, when you are above the reception desk (where Diana Burnwood and Miss Vidal make their reservations for a tour) and want to look at the window above. This makes the map particularly unplayable at the central reception area (around the asado).

Also in Hawkes Bay, there is a significant drop in frame rate around the bedroom and living room windows.

This happens mainly in portable mode, but the docked mod is not always consistent either.

Perhaps consider implementing DLSS (which also helps with this kind of problem on PC, by the way).

Steps to reproduce: Just play Mendoza, Hawkes Bay or Freelancer

Frequency : Always with Steps to reproduce

Platform: Switch 2 /Game Key Card

The game crashes randomly.

Description : Sometimes the game crashes completely, giving an error, and sometimes the game freezes and you can’t do anything (no error code this time).

This happens in Berlin (with Campfire starting location more often), New York, Miami, etc. I actually think it can happen anywhere, Freelancer mode or not.

It makes the experience really unpleasant.

Steps to reproduce: Just play the game

Frequency : Very Very frequent

Location:
Mission completion cinematic movies

Description:
When server access occurs during a mission completion cinematic movie, it restarts from the beginning.
This breaks immersion and ruins the intended presentation.
Is it possible to either stop server access during cinematic movies only, or change the timing of when server access occurs?
If server access occurs after the movie ends, it should cause no issues.

Additionally, while not a bug, there is no option to adjust the volume specifically for cinematic movies.
When other audio is muted, cinematic movies suddenly play at full volume, causing startlingly loud noises.
Could a dedicated volume adjustment option for movie playback be added?

Thank you for your consideration.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Complete a mission.
  2. Watch the cinematic movie.
  3. When server access occurs, playback starts from the beginning, forcing you to watch it again.

Frequency:
Always.

videos or images:
During video playback, server access interrupts the cinematic movie, forcing a replay.
This ruins the carefully crafted presentation.

Challenges and Store page in the menu

Description:
The mission name for the Paris Classic Challenge “Sniper Assassin” is incorrectly displayed as “World of Tomorrow”.
It should correctly be “Show Stopper”.

Additionally, I have reported this before, but since it still hasn’t been fixed, I am reporting it again.
The translation for the “Upgrade Pack” on the store page, accessible only to purchasers of “HITMAN WoA Part One,” is incorrectly labeled as “Deluxe Pack.”
This issue has caused numerous problems and confusion, with “Part One” purchasers mistakenly buying the “Deluxe Pack” and being unable to play HITMAN 2 & 3 stages.
Indeed, a significant portion of Japanese users leaving negative Steam reviews are pointing out this issue.
I believe the translation needs to be corrected as soon as possible.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Misstake labeling "World of Tomorrow” labeling
  1. Set the language to Japanese.
  2. Check the Paris, Showstopper sniper challenge.
  3. The mission name in the description is labeled as “明日の世界(World of Tomorrow)”.
  • Misstake labeling "Deluxe Pack” labeling
  1. Purchase Part One. (On Steam, this should be verifiable by turning off DLCs.)
  2. Set the language to Japanese.
  3. In the store of a player who only owns Part One, the “アップグレードパック(Upgrade Pack)” is labeled as “デラックスパック(Deluxe Pack)”.

Frequency:
Always.

Location:
Carpathian Mountains

Description:
After fulfilling all conditions for the “A Tie to Die For” challenge in the Carpathian Mountains and injecting the serum into “Constant,” I completed the “A Tie to Die For” challenge without using wires.
The likely cause is either that “injections also count as attacks from behind too” or that ”the ‘serum’ has the “wire” attribute applied” to it.
I’ll report this as a bug for now.
As an aside, I was hoping to unlock the “A Tie to Die For” challenge on other stages, so it’s a bit disappointing that this bug prevents me from doing so.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Begin the mission in the Carpathian Mountains.
  2. Proceed to Constant without knocking anyone unconscious.
  3. Injecting the serum into Constant somehow completes the “A Tie to Die For” challenge.

Frequency:
Always.

When playing on Steam with cross-progression active (PlayStation account marked as Primary) - when looking at leaderboards for contracts completed prior to enabling cross-progression, my username now has the “[dev]” tag in front of it on the leaderboard.

The leaderboard of a contract I played for the first time after enabling cross-progression doesn’t have the [dev] tag.

Yeah, its a little nitpicky, but oh well.

When you activate the Prestige laptop, the first section of the gear wall to get cleared is the second “DLC” wall with the Banker/Infiltrator/Reflection items, then the DLC wall to left gets cleared and then the rest of them get cleared in order.

The left-hand DLC wall should get cleared first, then the right-hand DLC wall so that they’re all getting cleared in order.

Summary

Platform:
PS5 Digital Edition (likely all platforms)

Location:
Miami - The Undying

Description:
I’ve confirmed the same phenomenon occurs in Japanese.
The Undying without an eye patch is likely making its first appearance in HITMAN WoA, but even in Japanese, the challenge text appears as program code.
This is the same issue that occurred previously during the implementation of the “Big Boom” challenge in Whittleton Creek.
Also, this edition of The Undying does not include the year (2026).
I think it would be better to follow the rules used for past Celebrity ET editions.

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Change the language setting to Japanese.
  2. Open the assassination challenges in Miami - The Undying.
  3. Both the challenge name and description appear as garbled text, rendering them unreadable.

Frequency:
Always occurs.

Updated.
The correction was confirmed on February 6, 2026.

Miami

The Elusive Target - Miami challenge still has the Florida Fit with Gloves unlock attached to it. Prior to The Undying ET making an appearance in WoA, in 2022 this was added as an unlock in Dartmoor Garden Show with the Been There, Done That challenge.

If my memory serves me correctly, “The Undying Returns” appeared twice in Year 4 and twice in Year 5, while this marks the first time “The Undying” has come to HITMAN WoA as an “Elusive Target.”
Of course, “The Undying” appeared in Stage 1 of “Uroboros,” but that was treated as a separate mode called “Elusive Target Arcade” and didn’t feature “Challenges,” so it can’t really be called “Elusive Targets.”

Platform:
XBOX Series X (Probably all hardware)

Location:
Berlin

Description:
Previously, I reported that restarting missions two or three times or more in Miami significantly increased the likelihood of the app crashing on the mission start loading screen. Similarly, I’ve now discovered that crashes are also prone to occur in Berlin.
I can’t quite figure out what Miami and Berlin have in common, but since it happens during mission restarts and loading, I suspect these two locations are crashing for the same reason.
I can’t imagine it, but could Berlin also become a stage for cooperative mode, just like Miami?

This phenomenon has been confirmed to occur frequently on PS and XBOX as well.
It is likely to occur similarly on other platforms too.

Incidentally, since restart crashes are still occurring repeatedly in the currently streaming “The Undying,” it appears this bug has not yet been fixed.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the Berlin mission.
  2. Please restart the mission or reload the data several times.
  3. The app occasionally crashes.

Frequency:
Occasionally. However, the frequency is relatively high.

videos or images:
5 crashes occurred within 4 hours.
Although the number of trials is small, it occurs at a high probability of once per hour.
