I have tried all the recommendations I could find including updating NVIDIA drivers, verifying, running as admin, reinstalling both the game and launcher, disabling firewall, and a few others. Have not been able to play the game for the past 2 days.

Location: Dubai

Description : Vaulting over a fence causes 47 to fall to his death from the building (instead of hanging on the ledge).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Pick Dubai.
  2. Go right underneath the helipad, next to the dangling boxes (see picture for precise position).
  3. Vault anywhere over the fence.

Frequency : Always happens, except all the way on the right of the fence.

Platform : PC

Location: Dubai, but could be any map

Description : Mastery level 20 impossible to reach. The mastery level somewhat have reset but the challenges have not. This makes it impossible to reach mastery level 20 even if challenges are 100% complete.

Look at the image: ALL challenges are 100% complete but I am only at level 14.

I did have my progress carry over from Hitman 2 (steam) and I have played the game just a little bit before the transfer. Since, it could be done only once, it is impossible to reproduce.

I know for a fact other players who did are experiencing the same issue on various platforms.
See the links below for details :

Platform: PS5 (Physical Deluxe Edition)

Location: All 3 sniper missions (Himmelstein, Hantu Port & Siberia

Description : I get an error every time I complete a sniper mission. Profile level increases, unlocked challenges and feats appear as unlocked/completed from the menus, but their mastery level does not increase. Error is shown in the attached image.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Complete/finish any sniper mission and the error pops up just after the cut scene. Rating screen does not come up.
  3. I return to the main menu, and you can see that the game is in offline mode (I have a stable internet connection and do not get any disconnection errors during the play-through).
    Note: Pressing the Retry button does not solve the issue, the same error message pops up again.

Frequency : Every time that I complete any of the 3 sniper missions.
I have the latest updates for the game & console installed.

Platform: PS4 digital

Location: New York

Description : if you attempt to restart the mission the loading screen freezes when the bar fills

Frequency : twice so far

Platform: PS4

Location: All

Description: Shooting mechanics are off.

  1. Auto-aim function not working properly. It will constantly either aim slightly off the NPCs body or to some other object entirely, like a door 20 feet away in another room… I’m not trying to shoot the door.

  2. Multiple headshots needed for a kill. (Might be auto-aim related)

  3. Bullets simply pass through NPCs sometimes. (Might be auto-aim related)

I’m running into a similar problem as these other two reports, but it doesn’t need to be the 10th agent.

Problem: Crash to Desktop
Platform: PC
Map: Berlin
Mission: Apex Predator
Description: The game will crash when killing or incapacitating one of the ICA agents. Agent Lowenthal in two separate cases, and than Agent Montgomery. In the case of Agent Montgomery, I had incapacitated 3 other targets, and some number of other non-targets. All non-targets were placed in crates.

Platform: PC

Location : Mendoza

Description: Having a bug on Mendoza where after Eliminating Don Yates (electrocuted in his garden and saw him taken out with a body bag) the objective is still incomplete. I finished the rest of the mission and when I try to exit the map, the game crashes to desktop after briefly trying to load the mission complete screen.

I’ve reloaded saves and looked around for Don Yates and he (or his body) is nowhere to be found.

This was a Silent Assassin, Suit Only run so it took a lot of time and it’s frustrating for that progress to be lost. Should I keep my save around in case it’s fixed?

Platform: Ps4/digital

Location: Sniper Assassin mode, Russia

Upon completing the mission it will disconnect me from the servers and refuse to reconnect till I go back to the main menu where it will reconnect no problem. Challenges and feats still track but yiu can’t get your score/upgrade your rifle

2-beat it
3-get disconnected

Sapienza map has a spelling error “Laboratry”.

Sapienza feats challenge icon bugs.

The first icon should say “Bonus Mission The Icon”
