HITMAN WoA - September 2024 Patch Notes

[Lindolfo]

I know it was not mentioned as fixed but I must say, I still cannot pick up the fuse cell from the garage in freelancer

[Heisenberg]

If you’re on an Xbox One, upgrade to Series X. Worked for me. If you’re playing on something else, I can’t help.

@Heisenberg

So, once again, that issue of the wrong boat animation taking off from the dock at the safehouse in Freelancer had not been fixed. It’s still doing it! This is twice now, IOI. Don’t tell us you’ve fixed it until you’re actually playing it yourselves on all platforms and it’s not happening anymore.

Oh man really? I saw it was mentioned in the patch notes again and I thought hopefully this will finally fix the issue.

[BlossomFox]

It is correct offline, but not online

All HITMAN servers down all of a sudden? Damn…hope they’re back soon.

Yeah I just went to log on and they seem to be down for me too. I was all set to make a joyful post about how the Micro Proximity Taser was finally going to be available in the main game so I can do my dream role-playing run of World Of Tomorrow (which I’m still super happy about being an unlock, btw), but now I can’t play the game to enjoy it.

Happysad.

Can confirm that Ambrose is only on the destinations tab, not campaign. However, when you finish “Another life” you will be prompted to play “shadows in the water” next, and after finishing that one you’re prompted to play “The Ark Society”.

Electric trilogy is in Haven island and you have to eliminate all 3 of the main targets with electricity

One of my favorite SASOs, the triple electrocution in the server room, works well for this.

[Heisenberg]

Good enough for now, I guess.

[scat1620]

Thanks to @Combatglue and all the folks at IOI for making one of my WoA trilogy dreams come true!

Which means I can finally select the correct loadout for my dream roleplaying run on World Of Tomorrow (which is still my favourite WoA map). I’ve been waiting years for this, so thank you very much for making it possible!

[scat1620]

All hail the Proximity Micro Taser!

[Grim47]

I’m experiencing the same bug of Ambrose not being in the Hitman 2 campaign, which is weird because this afternoon after the servers came back on I believe it was working fine

@combatglue is this a server bug that will be ironed out tomorrow?

[Rimland]

TDIL that the virus does not dissipate and can be set up as a trap

[Grim47]

I decided to test this both in online and offline modes and i noticed that when you beat Whittleton Creek it sends you to Ambrose via the button, but in Online mode the button opens up Ambrose on the destinations menu instead of the campaign menu (ofc. it’s not in the campaign menu in Online mode but that’s weird). Whereas in Offline mode it works as it should: Whittleton → Ambrose next in campaign → then Sgail next in campaign

This seems like something they could fix without a patch, it seems to be something to do with the servers and how it processes its menus or something, but another issue i noticed is in Offline mode the shovel digging sound effect is there but not in Online mode. What a strange bit of programming

[Axwage]

I really appreciate how immersive this was. Nothing on the screen but game, and you didn’t use Instinct. If it’d been me, I’d be wall hacking and swinging that camera around 360° the whole time, even though I know every NPC’s positioning on this map.

I am also happy for you for your recent unlock.

[Frote7]

Live again for those who still need to get their purple bat!

[MvpAgent47]

Perfection 11/10

@Grim47

This seems like something they could fix without a patch

Sending this forward to the team.

Also, I might be misremembering, but didn’t they add the Safehouse / Freelancer to the Destinations and/or Campaigns tabs, at some point? Because as of right now, I’m not seeing it.

While I’m at it, some things I’d like to see “fixed” eventually, personally:

• When you go to the Destinations tab, you find yourself on Dubai by default, which might have made sense back when the game was “Hitman 3” but not so much now (same thing for the various menus in the Career tab). Also, being able to switch from the Prologue section to the Hitman, Hitman 2 and Hitman 3 ones with shoulder buttons would be neat (like how it works in the menus of the Career tab).
• The Challenge menu of the Career tab places Freeform Training and The Final Test at the beginning of the Hitman 3 section, and I think it would make more sense to put them at the very beginning of all sections (in their own “Training” section, even?) instead. I’m not a huge fan of Codename 47 and Cloud Nine being where they are either (maybe put them at the very end instead, either right before or right after the Safehouse?).
• The order of the various campaigns in the Side Missions menu seems a bit counter-intuitive. Using the release order would make more sense to me.

When you go to the Destinations tab, you find yourself on Dubai by default, which might have made sense back when the game was “Hitman 3” but not so much now.

If I’m not wrong, the game actually default to the ICA Facility, Hawkes Bay, or Dubai depending on what location you last played is. According to which game/season it originated in.
