HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

All Platforms
Carpathian Mountains

The new challenge, Back to Basics, shows as something that can be completed in the Untouchable mission. The challenge is not actually completable in this mission as the challenge requires targets to be killed with a sniper rifle and there isn’t on in the map, nor can you take one into the map.

The only way to do it in this mission is to cheat and spawn in a sniper rifle after loading.

Minor bug I’ve noticed and nothing game breaking but I’ve noticed if in you default loadout bring an oil can on the mission one you take it out and you’ll still hear the briefcase make the liquid sloshing sound when 47 runs

This issue has persisted since the beginning and is still occurring.
This is the second time the completion animation for a one-time challenge has been ruined.
Now I have to start over from the beginning on a different account.
This is extremely frustrating.
Server access shouldn’t be required during the completion animation.
I hope they fix this as soon as possible.

Platform:
PS5 (and likely other platforms)

Location:
Freeform Training

Description:
The additional challenge “Initiate’s First Speedrun” is not completed even if the condition of completing the mission in under 2 minutes is met, as long as you watch the entire opening demo at the start of the mission.
Approximately 20 seconds of the opening demo is likely being subtracted from the 2 minutes.
In other words, if you watch the opening demo, you effectively have to complete the mission in 1 minute and 40 seconds.
This is clearly incorrect behavior.
I think the timer count should be changed to start after the opening demo, at the beginning of the mission timer.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the Freeform Training mission.
  2. Listen to all of Diana’s messages during the opening demo without skipping.
  3. Complete the mission in under 2 minutes.
  4. Even if you complete it in under 2 minutes, the challenge will not be completed.

Frequency:
Always.

Steam
Elusive Target Arcade: The Codices

When complications in the Arcade were made optional, most complications were updated to replace “you will fail the mission” with “you will fail this complication” - however the complication on The Codices was missed and still says it will trigger a mission failure despite being optional.

Description: This isn’t technically a bug but the game’s decal buffer is very small. It can only remember 100 bullet holes which is slightly less than Goldeneye 64 (1997). Surely the advance in technology in the last 29 years will allow for at least 5 or 10x that amount yeah?

Description:
The Initiate’s disguise reveals his bare skin.
This is likely an object-penetration bug, similar to one seen in “Elite Guard” in the past.

Platform:
PS5 Digital (likely other platforms as well)

Location:
The Isle of Sgàil

Description:
The golf club that appears from the crate in the warehouse cannot be retrieved from the front or side of the crate.
It can be retrieved from behind the crate, but the item’s appearance location is random, and it sometimes appears from crates near walls, in which case it cannot be retrieved.
It’s not a major bug, but it’s a little inconvenient.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to the warehouse on the 3rd floor.
  2. Break the crate with a crowbar and look for the golf club.
  3. The golf club cannot be retrieved from the front of the crate.

Frequency:
Always

PS5 Digital (likely other platforms as well)

Location:
The Isle of Sgàil

Description:
When the camera is lowered below the angle of the ledge in The Isle of Sgàil, the camera work becomes unnatural when standing on or hanging from the ledge.
It’s not a major bug, but the unnatural camera work makes you more prone to motion sickness, which is not a good impression.
I hope it will be fixed if possible.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Hang from the ledge on the wall of The Isle of Sgàil.
  2. Lower the camera to an angle below the ledge.
  3. The camera work becomes unnatural when you stand on the ledge.

Various explanatory texts.

Description:
I found about four mistranslations in the Japanese translation.
I will explain with pictures.
These aren’t fatal errors, but they’re so noticeable that any Japanese person would notice them.
It would be best to correct them as soon as possible.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Proceed to the scene where various texts are displayed.
  2. The Japanese translation is incorrect.

Frequency:
Always

First.
There is a mistranslation in the description of the recently implemented “Rifle Case”.
Incorrect translation: “正統派の暗殺者たの愛用品。”
Correct translation: “正統派の暗殺者たちの愛用品。”

Second.
There’s a mistranslation in the additional objective when kidnapping Constant in The Isle of Sgàil.
Incorrect translation: “コンスタントのついていく”
Correct translation: “コンスタントについていく”

Third.
There is a mistranslation in the description that appears when you first bring an item to a mission in Freelancer mode.
Incorrect translation: “レア殿”
Correct translation: “レア度の”

Fourth.
There is a mistranslation in the description of Hardcore mode in Freelancer mode.
Incorrect translation: “フリータんさーツール”
Correct translation: “フリーランサーツール”

This is due to the wooden debris being on top of the item, and a potential fix is using bullets or bombs to move the debris, or waiting for the debris to despawn before picking up the item.

You could also move the camera around until you got it in an angle that let you pick up the item, but this is inconsistent.

Am I the only one noticing a significant delay in everything registering lately on Xbox? Like the objectives completing in Freelancer, being spotted around corners, being “hunted” then back to nothing cause I was only seen by the person I took down. Like everything seems delayed. I’m on gigabit cable with low latency (19ms ping using speedtest via Edge on the Xbox), not that it should matter on a SINGLEPLAYER game. Once I get these freelancer challenges done, I’m finished with this game and franchise as long as it’s tied to online.

Platform: PC

Description: PC version, when using keyboard & mouse, does not have the option to change aim sensitivity, only general camera look sensitivity. Any modern game lets you adjust look and aim separately, and even Hitman: WoA lets you do it, but only on console (maybe PC with a connected controller too, I don’t know).

This is an important accessibility option, and I think it existed in HITMAN 2016 and should be added to the PC version of HITMAN: WoA.

This isn’t exactly about the game, but it seems that “HITMAN Status” hasn’t been functioning properly since the release of 007.
Have there been any changes to the server settings?

I assume you’ve been playing with mods? How have you failed a Showdown and not had the campaign fail?

Description:
Everytime I try to smuggle an item at a stash (NOT a pickup) in any mission the game brings up an Error Message:
Unable to load the requested menu.
Every retry will fail and going to the menu will set the game status as offline. Sometimes the game will crash.

Pickups work fine.

The Good Ending:
The Wizard escapes to fight another day, 47 gets to enjoy the party, and Tim Quinn lives. Clearly this a feature because if the fight gets forfeited cause one fighter quits doesn’t that mean Tim Quinn wins?

TL;DR: The target escaped but the mission continues in the latest Arcade (2nd tier) mission.

They just broke the whole poisoning system in the last update.

Try poisoning a glass or food with the correct disguise, and you’ll get spotted regardless.

You can easily replicate this in Sapienza kitchen.

Happens to me on PC, there is also a post on Reddit with loads of people having the same bug, which happens everytime: https://www.reddit.com/r/HiTMAN/comments/1ty9glv/poisoning_while_disguised_broken/

You need to make a hotfix on this ASAP, because it breaks the normal flow of gameplay, and NGL, but I’m sick and tired of every update breaking more things than it fixes. @IOI_Artjoms

Just to somewhat expand on the above for IOI - poisoning is now an illegal action, even if the disguise should be allowed to freely poison.

Oh come on, this is such a ridiculous issue! I’m pinging @IOI_Artjoms, can we please get a hotfix on this issue? This is extremely game breaking, considering poisoning targets is one of the key elements of Hitman series.

From what I read online, there is also a problem with the small smuggle points, causing disconnecting errors
