Just saw on reddit - apparently impact explosives like the golfball don’t explode anymore when you drop them and when you shoot them too. They have to be thrown to explode now.

That is such a weird and buggy change.

I’m getting a lot of bugs (on PlayStation 5), post-update…

First off, I’m shown the ā€œSeason of Awakeningā€ roadmap upon booting the game.

Then, when I try to load a save file during a mission, it sometimes takes dozens of seconds for the menu to even appear.

Finally, upon completing the Mendoza mission (I was unlocking the new suit), I was told the game couldn’t connect to the server, and was kicked to offline mode (ā€œUnable to load the requested menu. Please retry the request [that doesn’t work], or contact HITMAN support if the problem persists.ā€). I can go back to online mode from the main menu, but loading my last save and trying again yields the same result after two more attempts (and the new suit isn’t unlocked despite the challenge being marked as completed).

EDIT: Tried again a bunch of times, with different exits, and after loading earlier save files. No dice. Seems like this really needs fixing. I’m kinda wondering if I’ll manage to get the new suit at all, right now (the challenge being marked as completed on the main menu worries me), and I know I definitely don’t want to attempt an Elusive Target with things as they are right now.

Can we finally just get rid of the Live tab? It’s failed at its purpose of decluttering the menus and it’s only hiding the current ET from us. Taking away the freelancer button is sacrelig, it peeved me off so bad i’ve made a demonstration of what the menu SHOULD look like:

this doesnt require changing the layout or adding new tiles, the way these menus work is they can either have wide tiles (four spaces) slim tiles (two vertical spaces) or small tiles (one space). my suggestion is just to make story and the ET slim tiles and then just make everything else here a slim tile

there would be a tile to take you directly to the Freelancer safehouse and skip the constant menu clicking, there would be one below that that takes you to the arcade tab like there is now it’s just small instead of taking up an entire two verticle spaces. then we can finally have a featured contracts button just in the main menu that makes it easier to just play the newest FCs and the space below that could be a free tab in all honesty. i suggested a live content flickthrough cycling the newest featured contract, the newest ET arcade match, the newest escalation and the newest challenge added and clicking those takes you directly to the respective mission. either that or it’s a free space to do whatever you want. maybe it could be a randomized slot?

then the last two at the edge are the utility spaces of switching VR on and loading a game. the roadmap I think shouldn’t even be a tab, it’s a waste of space imo as in the options in the menu there’s a button which takes you to the patch notes so why not just implement a similar feature for the roadmap that lets you bring it up on any menu that ISNT options?

For me it’s still Season of the High-Stakes. I’m on PC/Steam. Not sure what is going on there.

I keep asking for this, and now I’m hearing it takes even MORE button presses? Come on IOI!

I also saw a post on Reddit about the newspaper being nerfed, to act like a thrown food item instead of knocking out NPCs. Can anyone confirm?

It’s been like that for a while now, at least since the last (proper) update.

Huh. I never noticed that!

What about for Xbox users? We don’t have a VR mode, and thus would not need that tile.

As far as I know, that’s a bug exclusive to the Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 versions.

That one has been around for a while, weirdly. The shooting one is new though.

Are we sure it was not like that before?

I hate the live tab. It feels so useless.

It seems we may be getting the mobile port soon, or at least that IOI is setting stuff up for it currently.

That’s good, I saw some people dropping it, thinking it wouldn’t explode.
