Hitman World of Assassination - 3.160 - August 2023 Patch Notes

Glad to see the ALt+F4 quitout back (On PS4 close the game)
Not only for the cheese :wink: but for situations like this:

so your interpretation then. That’s what a “take” is in this context. You’re extrapolating a cynical context from something that didn’t at all mean that “Perfect Run” was gone forever.

There’s no reason to consider it dead unless they tell you to. It’s gone. For now.

That’s reassurance that they’ll look into it, and I’m hopeful, if not expectant, that they’ll respond with a clearer answer.

I was using it for my puzzle contract! It’s so funny!

Regarding the Perfect Run removal - for those of you who have tested it already - Is it gone just from the mission objectives or also from the post-mission XP calculation?

Re: Alt+F4. I’m still going to stick with the wifi disconnect so I can stay in the game and reconnect when I’m back at the title screen. I’ll use Alt+F4 if I’m too tired and can’t just quit
 But must quit. Seriously! I can lightly nod off and still be walking. On a showdown that’s so dangerous if I should run into a lookout, or if I go past a frisk checkpoint. :grimacing:

Only the prestige objective “Prefect run” is removed with the patch.
If you complete the three objectives and the prestige one, you still earn the XP bonus (2500 XP).

Ok, that’s good :+1: Was afraid the bonus was gone too.

Finally, those strings on this guards hat has been fixed!


BTW: Did you notice how many items got their names changed? ICA DTI is now Bartoli DTI, Ancestral Pistol is now Krugermeier 2-2 Ancestral. Check out items menu, there has been some very interesting changes.

EDIT: Nvm, this is thanks to Heritage UI mode.

Nvm here, too. It’s just a mod. I thought it was a change to the real game.

Do You use Heritage UI mod by any chance? I’m pretty sure it’s an “improvement” added in newest update.

Oh, I see. Well, guess I won’t be giving IOI points for that.

Damn. If only IOI was as consistent with the names/gun models as that mod is.

It actually organizes the names into their proper “category” whereas official Hitman’s names lead to an alphabetical mess
 :frowning:

Just noticed this patch note. Is this referring to the rooftop with the water tower near it? I nearly failed a campaign because 47 subdued someone around the corner of the crate there. If so
cool! Forgot to report it and I’m glad it got fixed anyway

Ah like some contracts?

Too bad the same canÂŽt be said about this guy:

Nah more like some random messing around in Freelancer. Usually when weird killing methods like that are used in contracts the game displays it as “any method”, so most players would just shoot the targets or something instead of doing it the complicated way. Besides since IOI’s aware of the issue it’s probably gonna be fixed at some point, and I’d rather not make contracts involving stuff that might not work anymore in a few months :x

Kinda like contracts built around the NPC’s see-through walls glitch? Assuming any were made of course.

I don’t think I’ve seen any contracts based on that, but I was thinking more about stuff like being able to do pistol eliminations with the dart guns (a bug which was introduced with Freelancer and fixed in May IIRC).

The disappearance of the ”perfect run” in the Prestige Objective is a bit disappointing to me.

Come to think of it, can’t there be more ”PRESTIGE OBJECTIVE”?
For example, I’d like to see

ăƒ»â€œSuit Exit”
 When the mission is completed, return to the safe house in the initial suit.
ăƒ»â€NoLoadout"
achieved when the cost is 0 at the beginning of the mission.
ăƒ»â€SilentAssassin NoLoadout"
achieved when the cost is 0 at the beginning of the mission and the SilentAssassin clear.
ăƒ»â€SilentAssassin NoKO"
achieved when without knockout a single person and the SilentAssassin clear.

I think that these are difficult enough, but I think it would be good to have them as elements that can expect high rewards instead.

I don’t play much the game lately but I tested the Landslide mission after the patch on my ps4 and I had no crashes for 45 minutes, so the situation has been improved.
