Just as I was expecting, Black Bruiser’s bruises disappear the moment you put on a different disguise. ---

Did Bangkok lighting change for anyone else with this patch? I’m playing it right now, and a lot of rooms in the south wing feel a lot brighter/whiter. ---

I haven’t tried Bangkok since the patch, but I _think_ I noticed some audio changes in Miami. The patch notes didn’t say anything about that, so I might be mistaken, but I think it used to be a lot… quieter? Like, a few months back, when I was still getting used to that map, I remember wondering why my controller would sometime vibrate in that underground tunnel where I always steal that musician’s one coin (I’m so sorry, dude) and eventually realizing “oh, must be the cars, _I guess_”… but this time around, it just felt obvious: “sure, it’s the cars: _you can hear them!_” (and the crowd’s cheers, too). Again, could just be my imagination, I’m not 100% sure, but…? ---

Hokkaido’s lighting got seemingly messed up even more. Sometimes lights would frequently bug out and rapidly flash the whole screen, making it very difficult to see. ---

I orignally took this to mean they fixed they fixed the situations where the objective would glitch out. Seems they mean they’ve only fixed some of the circumstances it happens because I’ve had it glitch out today. ☹ ---

Does anyone know what XP reward increases with Prestige? The patch notes say that prestige will “grant an XP bonus for completing missions.” However, I don’t see any XP increase when completing missions. Am I missing something? ---

> [@Kevin\_Rudd](#): > > #### Door Blocker > > We’ve resolved an issue in the Carpathian Mountains where certain doors wouldn’t open if 47 was standing too close to it, despite the prompt functioning properly and 47 performing the ‘open’ animation. This issue could also occur if a weapon or item was on the floor and close to the door. > > This was caused by the way that the doors would slightly ‘pop out’ before sliding to open, which meant that any physics objects (like a gun or 47) that were in the way would prevent the animation from completing and the door would stay closed. There was also a very small collision object on the door, that would make the impact worse when 47 was close because he was clipping into that collision when interacting with the door and disabling it. > > To fix this, we’ve added a separate wider collision that animates separately from the door to make it smoother. @Travis_IOI @Clemens_IOI This is not only Carpathian-spicific bug. This is an old bug that been introduced in one of the last patches of HITMAN 2 (I don’t remember specifically which) and affected Hokkaido foremost. Then it spread to all locations which have Hokkaido-style sliding doors. Now it can be experienced in Hokkaido and Chonqing at least. And no, this bug hasn’t been fixed in “non-Carpathian” locations. I didn’t check Carpathian ones, but I did check Hokkaido and Chonqing and even Isle of Sgail. Would you agree that those locations are more popular than tiny, linear and straightforward train? UPD: Haven Island could be added to the list as well ---

> [@Kevin\_Rudd](#): > > #### Urgent Call > > We’ve resolved an issue where some characters would ‘teleport’ to Agent 47’s location in certain circumstances. It’s now impossible to arrange a meeting in places that are inaccessible to AI characters. We’ve also fixed a related issue where the ‘Arrange Meeting’ Prestige Objective would not complete under certain circumstances. @Travis_IOI @Clemens_IOI ![Hitman 3 Screenshot 2023.05.14 - 14.51.08.45](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/0/6/0642433a47c6f471f856fcc65fe4ebb63e0d0913.jpeg) Unfortunately this is not visible on the screenshot, but the disposable phone is active and issuing some colorful circle around it indicating that meeting is arranged. But as you can see on the screenshot, even despite another suspect which came to a meeting is dead, the objective still uncompleted and will be failed on the exit. So, I can conclude that this bug is not fixed. Or it was a fix for another bug. Nevertheless, Arrange a Meeting prestige objective is still bugged UPD: I made it work by arranging a meeting of target’s group, but the objective description says that just a meeting needs to be arranged, it does not specify that a target’s group meeting needs to be arranged. So even if it works, it’s confusing. Will test more on this matter UPD 2: On a second occasion I arranged a meeting and it didn’t work again. Then I arranged target’s group meeting. And guess what? Right. Objective isn’t compelete and failed on exit. Seems like game randomly desides when to apply this objective. So the bug is still here, nothing changed in the mechanics of the objective registering, it was like this before ---

What I find really annyoing is that Silent Assassin still does not work if a target spots you. I lost SA challenges many times now because playing SA does not count as SA and this is highly frustrating -.- ---

Thank you for confirning. Though I made it work by arranging a meeting of target’s group. But the decription says that just a meeting needs to be arranged, it does not specify that target’s group meeting should be arranged. So even if it works, it’s confusing. Further investigation will be made to make sure ---

> [@Kevin\_Rudd](#): > > #### Train Exit > > We’ve removed the moving train exit in Mumbai (Freelancer mode only) to prevent an issue where the game would softlock following the cinematic and then consider the mission to have failed upon a forced restart. Literally just now exited through (or with or by) train in Mumbai. I’ve never experienced described issue, but maybe because I skip the cutscene everytime almost at once. Train exit still works. – Are you sure that this patch notes relevant and applied to the game at all? 🙂 ---

> [@FSMcas](#): > > Silent Assassin still does not work if a target spots you ??? Which specific SA objective? I just completed a SA/NF Prestige Obj the other day even after a Guard Target caught me trespassing and ‘escorted me’ out. I was very surprised since I expected the objectives would track SA differently than the SA tracker (which _does differentiate_ a target spotting you vs a normal NPC) ---

In this stage, you can assassinate Vanya Shah and Maelstrom at the same time and escape by train. When this assassination was performed in freelancer mode, the game would stop after the movie. This fix seems to be a response to that. > [@HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread](https://www.hitmanforum.com/t/hitman-3-bug-report-thread/2963/3684): > > Platform: [PS5 digital] Location: Mumbai（Freeluncer） Description: Mumbai train derailment EXIT was impossible to clear.
