Description : After the update to 3.30 (or maybe playing the free escalation contract in Dubai this morning, I am now quite sure), the last sniper challenge was resetted from 15/17 to 1/17. As you can see in the picture of the challenges of Miami, I already finished the 12/17 step and was up to 15/17. That are all sniper assasinations you can do - as far as I know - in H1 and H2 (I do not own H3 yet, just am using the Free Starter Pack). UPDATE: I now bought H3 and the problem remains. More specifically the counter is totally broken. I successfully finished the Sniper Assassin Mission in Dubai now, which would lead to 16 Sniper Assassinations in total, but the counter stayed at 1/17. I probably will never use the reward (who uses anything other than the Ghost? ), but I want to finish the challenge.
2nd Update: I do not know, if you changed something, but since yesterday or so the system is totally freaking out. As I said, I already bought H3 now, so I could do more Sniper Assinations. Actually I did four more (which now are 19 in total). I still did not get the “Sniper Assassin x 17” Challenge, but now the system keeps on counting, but does not reward me. I attatched a new photo, since I can only add one photo at a time as a new forum member.
Ok, so first of all, props to the lighting team for addressing the bloom and contrast issues in the legacy levels. From what I´ve seen so far, the blinding lights and darknesses seem to be finally gone and the contrast is not so strong anymore (though I´m wondering whether Sapienza also got a revert to the pre-February filter or not?). My eyes are certainly happier, though I haven´t checked out all the levels yet.
However, there are still some persisting issues with the lights/lighting. Namely:
In MUMBAI, the movie set lights during the filming sequence still don´t work, making the picture on the screen dark, while it should be illuminated and visible (as seen on the H2 screenshot below).
In SAPIENZA, while Caruso´s room is not pitch black now anymore after the patch (1st screenshot), I feel like there still should be sunlight coming in from the southern side. This was certainly the case in H1 and H2 (2nd screenshot), and other parts of the mansion facing that direction - such as on the ground floor (3rd screenshot) - actually have light coming in despite not being exposed to the sunlight nearly as much as Caruso´s room.
PERSISTING SOUND ISSUE WITH HELICOPTERS IN MARRAKESH
I will keep banging this drum, sorry. The two military helicopters making flyovers over Marrakesh still have their sound muted/bugged. This issue has been around since H2 and remains unfixed, whereas in H1 they had a nice clear proper “thumping” sound. The news chopper hovering over the consulate sounds properly (it feels a bit more quiet than it should, but I might just be remembering wrongly).
Description : Something wrong in Mission Story:A Private Meeting. After Decker meets with Viktor, the Mission Story got stuck on “Meet up with Decker”.
Steps to reproduce:
Start the level: Paris
Open the MISSION STORIES page, choose A Private Meeting and track it
Follow the guidance, listen to the phone call of Decker, get a guard’s uniform, talk to Decker, escort Decker to the pavilion
When Decker arrives the pavilion, he starts talking with his bodyguard then the Mission Story Guidance turns to “Meet up with Decker”.
Viktor arrived, and they had a conversation. Then both of them left the pavilion. But the Mission Story Guidance remained as “Meet up with Decker”, without the Mission Story Accomplishment UI tip.
Follow Decker back to the feast yard, he returned to normal behaviors such as talking, drinking, standing, and the Mission Story Guidance was still “Meet up with Decker”. Get close to him, there’s no any interaction options.
It seems like that the Mission Story script got stuck in some steps. It should be accomplished while the 2 person met as normal thinking.
Description:
When shooting Aaron Ford Jr with the Kalmer whilst he is sitting in his chair, the animation used causes him to hit the chair and get Knocked Out, cancelling the Kalmer shot and causing Silent Assassin to be lost and the guard to become hostile. If he stands up prior to being shot, he falls normally and SA is retained.
Edit: for clarity, I can reproduce this 9/10 times in Contracts mode (various contracts), but only 1/10 times in Campaign. Odd.
Description: Another case of NPCs being able to see you through walls. This one is in the server room area with the technician, cabinet, shovel, and gas valve (you enter here using the keycard-protected door next to the bar). If you commit any illegal action, someone (based on the 2nd screenshot I managed to take, it seems to be one of the guards on the upper floors; EDIT: apparently it´s Williams?) in the area will notice you, despite the room being completely isolated.
This is likely exacerbated by the level´s extended viewcones (yes, I would absolutely like those to be removed so that the level is consistent with the others in this regard).
Not sure if the issue exists elsewhere in the level. Will perhaps see upon future playthroughs.
Steps to reproduce:
Enter the room in question.
KO the technician and drag his body (or hide it, change clothes, etc… simply holding a gun would likely also work). If the guard (Williams?) is looking in your direction, you will get spotted.
It’s actually Tyson Williams with the all-seeing eyes. Once he spots you, he shares his all-seeing vision with the nearby NPCs and all goes to shit. 3 years later, this level is still broken af.
Ah ok, that would explain the instant target lockdown. I thought it might be him, but by the time I found out I got “spotted” from above, the guard with the exclamation mark looking somewhat in my direction seemed like the main culprit. I never had this issue in H2 though…
Seems you’ve replaced the minor bugs with a lot more major and unforgiving ones…
Today I was at 15/17 for the silent assassin suit only last challenge, upon completing 16/17 I was awarded with a challenge reset to 1/17. There isn’t even enough locations left to start again as I have already achieved SA/SO on over 80% of them.
This is a pretty shattering outcome, hopefully you can patch this and return our progress to what has been earned. I also hope this doesn’t occur to many others.
Trophy for completing all challenges in the Carpathian Mountains still wont unlock (before the latest patch it didnt and now with it it still wont unlock…) and yes i do have all challenges unlocked
I don´t have H2 installed anymore to check if it was a thing there as well, but I´m pretty sure I shouldn´t have to undergo a frisk when dressed as one of Cassidy´s men to enter his house? (PC)
The winery workers at the conveyor belt, being poisoned, walk to the urns through the glass wall, ignoring the door nearby. (used an emetic pistol for poisoning)
Location: Mostly in Chongqing’s Pride (Deadly Sins) contract, but in many others also.
Description: When trying to open the Pride Deadly Sin contract, immediately a message saying “An error occurred loading the menu. Try again and if the problem persist, please contact Hitman Support Center”, is posted, and I can put “try again” many times as possible, and the message continues to appear. This happens to me also with many other contracts.
Steps to reproduce:
Start the game
Load the Chongqing’s Pride (Deadly Sins) mission
Message shown
Frequency: Lots of times, since the last update was installed, agreed on May 10th, 2021.
Description: Elusive target “Iconoclast” wont drink the malbec after asking for a glass, you can serve her bodyguard but there is never an option to serve her, even though she asks for a glass
Steps to reproduce:
Start the Iconoclast Elusive Target
Find the malbec and bring it to the serving table dressed as the waiter
Place the malbec on the table and wait for the target to arrive
‘Body is too similar to another post’ OK, now that I’ve gotten past that filter;
Platform: PC
Description: Game hangs and crashes at random. It will freeze for about 4 seconds before closing itself. This is entirely to do with the new patch. I have over 2,000 hours across the WoA trilogy, 0 crashes. Now I get 3+ every day.
Steps to reproduce: Literally do nothing and it will crash. Any map, any season it happens. It can happen within 10 minutes, 1 hour, or maybe 2 hours. But sometimes I can just be standing around in game and it hangs.
), but I want to finish the challenge.
