Platform: PC, Steam
Description : ICA Proximity Flash Mk III not working on Freelancer Target
Steps to reproduce: Throw device at Target. Wait for Target to look directly at it, detonate. Watch as nothing happens.
Frequency : Have tried it twice, replaying the map from start on both occasions with a system restart between. Has happened both times.

Platform: PC, Steam
Description : NPC detection of bodies in bushes is unreasonable/unreliable
Steps to reproduce: Difficult, as stated it is unreliable. But unreliable mechanics are not typically welcome in stealth games for obvious reasons.
Frequency : Not very, but when it does happen it can be catastrophic. Today I had a 2 hour freelancer SASO run lost, video attached. The body is on the far left of the screen at the start.
Note: mods only used to improve FOV and make Instinct a little clearer to make playing with visual disabilities more comfortable for me, it does not have any other gameplay effects.

Does it works when you place instead of throwing? Someone said before that if it lands facing down the flash would not blind any NPCs.
New patch, same bugs.
Platform: PS5
Digital + disc
Location: All Hitman 3 Locations
Description: “SAVING” is stuck on the screen on every Hitman 3 map. This is a PS5 exclusive bug that has been in the game for over 4 years now and never been acknowledged. Never been mentioned in the known issues.
Steps to reproduce:
Frequency: Always. Every time. Saving.
Why do you refuse to fix this bug? If you are incapable of fixing it, it would be far easier to just publicly come out and say it. Game development is difficult, communication is not.
I would say a PS platform in general, not just PS5
Maybe. I haven’t played it on PS4 myself but I have been told in the past the bug is not on PS4.
The worst part is that I found out today that the bug is also on PSVR2. And its even worse because its stuck floating in your face like ioi are mocking us. Honestly its embarrassing. What a joke of a company. Not only have they completely ignored this issue for 4 years but now they expect us to pay for an addon where the issue is even worse. No chance. It should never have been released like this
Platform: Xbox (Series x)
Locations: Assuming all maps
Description: When the Ancestral pistol is selected for the pistol loadout, it doesn’t arrive in your inventory, yet other Krugermeier pistols don’t have this problem. Also, if you smuggle the Ancestral pistol into a map, your game will crash when you enter into a certain proximity of the smuggled gun’s location.
I played a “kill everyone” contract on Landslide, and after completing it my game hasnt connected to the servers since last night. I checked on hitmanstat.us and the servers are down but i dont see anyone having the same issue as me. Anyone had this or is this scheduled server maintenance?
This has happened to me as well with these contracts. I suspect the insane number of pointe being earned within a short period of time could’ve triggered an automated security feature locking you out until a human can determine whether or not cheating was involved. At least that’s the theory I could be wrong.

Platform: Switch 2

Description : HDR doesn’t work properly. The Bloom is too strong and makes some lights buggy. Displays in the bank hall, for example. Instinct does not appear grey but rather white.
Steps to reproduce: Activate HDR on Switch 2 Menu
Disabling HDR solves the problem.
Frequency : Always
According to information from a volunteer, the “Contract Starting Error” in Japan
The problem was resolved in the update of Jun/07/2025.
Thank you very much.
Japanese purchasers of the Switch2 version of HITMANWoA are experiencing a “Contract Start Error” and can only play the prologue.
I wanted to check it out too, but unfortunately I could not get the device.

As tom-kannaduki said, when playing on the Japanese version of Switch2, a “contract starting error” appears in all modes except training, making it completely unplayable. Even reinstalling the game didn’t work. This is an issue that needs to be resolved urgently.
The Banker DLC on Steam is missing a Family Sharing feature. All the other content and the game itself have Family Sharing enabled, so I assume this is an error. In any case could we, please, get a clarification on whether or not this is intentional?
Update, June 11th: the DLC has been added to the Family Sharing pool. Thank you.
Does anyone know how to fix this black screen bug when the new season came out? Like, I press play, and afterwards, it’s just a black screen. I’ve disabled all the mods, I have uninstalled/reinstalled, verified integrity, etc.
?
Thank you! lalalalalaa
Platform: PC, game owned on Steam, with 575 hrs of playtime
Description: Game crashes after startup. After the game launcher loads and I click the Play button, there’s a black window for a few seconds, without the usual Steam overlay notification, and the the game closes back to Steam.
CPU/GPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics
RAM: 16 GB
OS: Windows 11 Insider Preview build 27919.1000
I’ve come back to play the Hitman I’ve installed on my PC after a few months (I played it on Geforce Now recently), with the same OS version and updated GPU drivers. After the first crash, I tried the usual solutions: use -skip_launcher launch option on Steam, disable steam overlay, update all drivers, disable all mods, delete game files, verify integrity on Steam, reinstall the game…
This problem seems to be limited to Hitman, I’m able to play other games.

Have you tried advice in my post just one above yours?
Does anyone know how to disable this annoying “Sharpen” effect in the game? It’s somehow enforced in the game; it wasn’t there before. I tried modifying the register file (SharpeningStrenght from 2 to 0), but that didn’t change anything. I tried through the Nvidia drivers, and that didn’t change anything either.
