HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

You need to download a “first day patch”

Day One Patch
HITMAN 3 will require a day one patch for all disc users. The day one patch will be automatically applied to digital players. This patch will include access to the VR mode for PlayStation users and will include the remaining locations that are not included on the disc.

that i know. i can’t find the one day patch anywhere. Any link would be appreaciated.

Maybe you can try to force an update for the game, or verify files or something like that.
I’m not familiar with consoles work principles, so I can’t guide you any detailed

Platform: Xbox One, Digital

Location: Paris

Description : The ‘RFID Triggered Explosive’ explodes despite not being in proximity to the RFID Tagged Coin. It explodes when either 47 comes into close proximity with an NPC after having armed the explosive, or an NPC carrying the armed explosive comes into close proximity to another NPC. In either case, the RFID Tagged Coin is nowhere near.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Paris mission, beginning at the default red carpet starting location, taking with you the RFID Triggered Explosive item
  3. Open the in-game inventory
  4. Equip the RFID Tagged Coin
  5. Drop or Place the coin on the ground somewhere
  6. Equip the RFID Triggered Explosive
  7. Do one of the following 3 scenarios:
    a. Place the explosive on the ground beside 2 NPCs.
    b. Place the explosive in a briefcase, equip the briefcase, and then start running around randomly near NPCs.
    c. Throw the explosive somewhere where it will be seen and picked up by an NPC. This NPC will pick it up. Then, either this NPC will walk past another NPC on the way to the stash location, or you run near the NPC whilst they carry it.
  8. The explosive blows up.

Frequency : It always happens on the Paris mission, albeit the explosive blows up in a variable timeframe, and not necessarily every time. For example, in scenario 7. b., the explosive blows up at a different time, often not in the same spot. It did not seem to happen on Hokkaido or Berlin, when I tested it on those maps.

worked for me too thanks

Platform: Xbox Series X, Digital Version

Location: Haven Island

Description : Cannot complete first level of The Bartholomew Hornswoggle escalation, as the game does not register picking up the third piece of the map. Doesn’t seem to matter which piece is picked up last, as it has failed when the message in a bottle is last and when the piece pinned to the guards room notice board is last.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the The Bartholomew Hornswoggle escalation contract
  3. Acquire two pieces of the map (via Silent Assassin means of course)
  4. Pick up the third piece of the map
  5. Third piece will not be checked off, still appears on map in the location it was picked up from

Frequency : Has happened twice, once where the message in a bottle was the third piece to be picked up, and once when the piece in the guards room was the third piece. Have not tried picking up the captain’s piece last as at time of writing.

Platform: Xbox One

Location: Berlin

Description: The game crashes to the console home screen when either knocking out or eliminating Agent Lowenthal on the first playthrough of the map.

Steps to reproduce:
1: Start a clean unplayed version of the map. I had this problem on my first playthrough, but when I tried it on the second playthrough I was able to eliminate Agent Lowenthal without crashing. It seems to be dependent on if the map has been played before or is a save from a first playthrough.

2: Save before knocking out or eliminating Agent Lowenthal.

3: Knock out or eliminate Agent Lowenthal. The method of incapacitating did not affect the issue.

4: The game crashes here for me. Reloading the save does not fix the issue.

5: Complete the mission.

6: Start the mission again and you can knock out or eliminate Agent Lowenthal without crashing.

7: Reload the save from step 2.

8: Knock out or eliminate Agent Lowenthal using any method and the game should crash again.

Frequency: Every time

If you are in the attic of Don Yates’ house, if you jump out the window so you’re standing facing towards the Asado, if you turn right there is a pipe you can climb down to get to the bedroom balcony. However this pipe just stops at the point where you can hang from the edge of the roof and doesn’t connect to anything in the house. When you’re at the very top of the pipe, 47 is just gripping thin air.

Platform: Epic

Location: New York

Description : Glitchy floor reflections & no ambient music.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the New York mission
  3. Run around in silence looking at the floor

Frequency : Always

Trying to recap H1 and H2 before playing H3 but the lack of music is making the mission feel a little empty and the glitchy floor is annoying. I’d really like to finish replaying H2 before moving onto the H3 levels but these things are killing my enjoyment a bit.

Update: Figured out that turning the ‘Mirrors Reflection Quality’ to ‘Off’ fixes the floors issue.

Sewer exit doesn’t work. The prompt to exit the mission is there, but when I press the button it just disappears.

Frequency: always (I tried it on the sewer next to the delivery guy. I don’t know if there are more sewers in the level)

I second this I think that actually the rewards for featured contracts are bugged and they don’t unlock especially if you have done progress transfer… I have the wrench reward at 21/20 contracts done and the challenge is not marked as completed for example.

I don’t know if there’s the same problem with escalation rewards but I hope not…

Platform: PC

Location: Chongqing

Description: Facility Elevator challenge will not unlock. I’ve unlocked the door and it’s the only challenge I have left. The door remains open so I can’t try to open it again. I’ve got a save file where it’s still closed and when I try to open it the challenge still does not complete.

In China during the end of an era mission, if I play on master mode and start from the default train location, I cannot talk to the woman in the back of the restaurant to start the tour. I have the form from the board member’s apartment as well as the necessary disguise, but the option to speak to her simply isn’t there. She hangs up her phone when I enter the room and just stares at me.

Description:
Starting phase 3 of the Yuuma escalation in the morgue has 47 standing up and as a result cover is blown before the intro finishes. Phase 1 and 2 work correctly with 47 lying down on the slab.

Steps to reproduce:
choose the morgue as the starting location of phase 3 of the Yuuma escalation.

Everytime and always

Description:
Agent Montgomery and Hirschmuller don’t interact with each other.

Steps to reproduce:
KO Hirschmuller and take the phone number, but not the disguse, then lure a guard over to wake Hirschmuller up. Use the phone to call Montgomery to the office, and he will wander around the office calling out for Hirschmuller - at on point he walks right up to Hirschmuller and basically calls out his name in his face.

Everytime and always

Location:
Hokkaido, Patient Zero mission

Description:
Once every single NPC is infected (139 in total, Owen doesn’t count because he’s a target), the AI becomes very glitchy in terms of reporting things.
E.g. if civilian sees a gun, he stucks for few moments (up to a minute), and when he starts moving to find a guard the game might crash. Happened 4 of 4 times.
Helps only if I manage to pick up the gun before NPC sees it.
In other case if I picked up the gun after NPC saw it, he can stuck for another minute or two and only then get back to his routine. If the game managed to handle this hell of an action and didn’t crash.
UPD: game crashes if to run across the map and kill everybody infected

Steps to reproduce:
Infect everyone on the location and make NPC to see the lying gun.
UPD: just run and kill infected

Frequency:
Never happened in HITMAN 2.
In HITMAN 3 seems it randomized. At a certain moment game can crash every time, but if to manage to pick up the gun the NPC is about to see, game can crash still, but at a lower chance. Depends on AI calculations, seems.
UPD: game always crashes even while eliminating infected NPCs

Exception code 0xc0000005, always the same

Platform: PC / Digital
Location: Any location’s loading screen
Description:

When loading in a map, the game has a pretty large chance of crashing. It usually doesn’t happen on the first map I load, and almost always happens on the second map I load.

Try to update or reinstall GPU driver.
Could be also a matter of RAM. It might be corrupted or just not enough.
Check if your Windows has activated and enough sized swap file
