HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

Reposting this one, since IOI doesn’t seem to care about immersion breaking bugs.
It’s been MONTHS at this point.

Platform: PC

Maps: All of them.

Description: Disguises and suits from HITMAN 1 use a different, older version of 47s head and face.

This doesn’t happen with HITMAN 2s and 3s disguises and suits including the Signature Suit.

PLEASE fix this annoying bug, it’s only a model swap at best, I know you can do it, IOI.

Follow up. No flickering menus for me on a Series S. Did the ET during lunch and did not notice any visual glitches with the menus or HUDs.

Downloading update to my Xbox One X version right now. I can check on that system later.

Not saying it isn’t a bug, but have you tried deleting and reinstalling the game to see if it persists? I am wondering if it is possible your game got corrupted with the update.

i have been having the same issue, the furthest ive made it without a crash was a mission planning screen

Platform: PC Epic

Location: Loading Screen

Description : Freezing when start game

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Game show loading screen (press enter to start)
  3. Freezing. I try update drivers, change resolution, reboot desktop but game didn’t work

Frequency : ALWAYS. I just started game in first time.

Platform: PC / Digital

Location: Dartmoor

Description : NPC gets stuck in a loop saying things such as “I am awesome, tada!, perfect!” etc. Nothing seems to break the loop. A guard will be stuck in the loop at first, kill the guard, leave to avoid being compromised and come back and Gregory Carlie is stood in the same spot as the guard you killed doing the exact same thing in his voice. I thought this was a one off the first time but I fudged up what I planned on doing the first time, started the mission again and the exact thing happened the second time. Issue persists through saves.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Dartmoor mission
  3. Throw down a ICA Flash Phone and activate it unseen in the sitting room, at the main doors where the two guards stand
  4. Leave and come back after guards stop searching
  5. Observe the annoying NPC repeating the same thing over and over (likely one of the two guards)
  6. Kill guard stuck in loop
  7. Hide until searching has stopped
  8. Come back to find Gregory Carlie doing the same thing in the same spot

Frequency : Every time.

I also have that same issue now do you know of any fix has IOI done anything? To help the players?

sniper assassin challenge for mendoza in french doesn’t says that you need to use a sniper

I found a way to fix freezing starting screen error by disable Epic Social Panel. You can disable it by a way from https://www.reddit.com/r/EpicGamesPC/comments/huwjm0/psa_epic_overlay_bug_with_death_stranding/
“Disable the overlay by moving all EOS*.* in the folder {install drive&directory}\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Extras\Overlay to a subfolder (such as _disabled.”
I just tried it and it seems to work.
edit/ seems like one has to put the folder back every time you close the epic launcher and want to restart it, else you get an error.

Platform: Xbox Series X, digital

The Swimwear outfit (found in the shark hut) is still bugged after all this time. It’s clipping horrendously against 47’s back while running, to the point i never wear it.

Platform: Xbox Series X, digital

Location: Miami

Description: Sierra Knox is wandering aimlessly under the map, unreachable and thus unkillable, after the podium ceremony

Steps to reproduce: i ended the race by making Sierra lose prematurely, disqualifying her as a Race Marshall. I then subdued a journalist and wore his disguise. Entered the place where the ceremony takes place, then, after the ceremony, i subdued Moses Lee on his way outside, took his clothes and dumped his body in a box. As i was looking for Sierra to challenge her to the drinking game, i noticed she was now trapped under the map, roaming the beautiful prairies of Nowhereland, where no man (or hitman, for that matter) can harm her.

Platform: [ PC]

Level: End of an Era

Description : Hello, I have such a problem. I don’t know if I have it, but it’s still there. At the end-of-era level, there is an error in the absolution claim. It doesn’t get wet, but it’s serious. I don’t know much about the Blood Money suit, as they are similar, this problem is probably with her. I think these two suits need to be fixed, the physics is strange, the absolution tie is somehow not sewn. Although the tie looks appropriate on Terminus.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load End of an Era

Frequency : * ALWAYS*

Update from my previous post: [url]https://www.hitmanforum.com/t/hitman-3-bug-report-thread/2963/2331[/url]. As per the suggestion of @Canucklehead I have uninstalled and reinstalled Hitman 3, but the problem persists. I’ve already posted one short video, but I have included another short video showing the problem with this post.

Platform: Xbox Series X (and S?)
Location: Menus
Description: The tiles on the menu screen flicker like crazy when you move between them. Some of them flicker at an alarming rate constantly. I’ve performed full power recycles of Xbox and I’ve even uninstalled and reinstalled Hitman 3, but the problem remains.

FYI: I’m running my Xbox in 1080p with HDR disabled. It was also reported by at least three others in the June patch thread who are also using Xbox Series X. But @ColdDayInHell has reported no such issue on his Series X. Similarly, @Canucklehead had no problems on his Series S.

Description When shooting a shotgun while hugging a wall to the right, 47’s left arm clips / looks word
Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game.
  2. Load Any Mission and equip a shotgun.
  3. Go to cover (Press Space) on the right side.
  4. Try shooting without aiming down sight.
    Frequency : Always Happens

Platform: Xbox Series X, digital

Location: Berlin

Problem: whenever i shoot with Agent Tremaine’s Bartoli Hunting Rifle, 47 instantly dies.

Steps to reproduce: i triggered the alarm at the base of the radio tower, alerting the guards, which ran to find me. I reached the top of the tower, where Tremaine spotted me and started sniping at me. I kept on the move, so he always missed. I killed the first agent that came looking for me at the tower, then i made my way to Tremaine, killed him, took his Bartoli Rifle, and to my surprise, the Bartoli killed me the moment i tried to shoot with it. Tried again, this time i took the rifle without killing or incapacitating Tremaine, but the result was the same: insta game-over every time i pull the trigger on the Bartoli Hunting Rifle. Quite a big glitch, if you ask me.

I feel like the reason why it happens is that when Tremaine notices you at the top of the tower, I don’t believe he “shoots” you, I believe that there is a counter on which “bullet” will hit you (I’m saying it like that because I don’t think actual bullets are flying towards you).

I’m guessing the game got bugged for some reason and still believed that Agent Tremaine was using the rifle, essentially meaning that you got shot.

Yeah, i too think it’s a case of a script not working properly.

Quoting just to acknowledge and say I am experiencing the same problem on the Xbox Series X after the most recent update.

The flickering is quite an eyesore. In my case, I am running the game in 4K with HDR enabled so I suppose we can rule out the bug being resolution based.

Although the my progression was interrupted, and thus, the “flow” of the game as well, I did manage to get all the trohpies for PS4 (Pro) in the end. I’m not sure what I will be doing in regards to DLC, as I’m a bit weary of buying into Hitman 3 at this point. I want to, but I want to avoid potrntial, hassle, frustration, stress as well.

Overall, things weren’t THAT bad for me. Not when weighting the experience against others I have had the were truly awful. Like Fallout 3, or Borderlands 2. Nor was it that bad when compared to the issues some other Hitman 3 players are experiencing. It’s definitely anecdotal, but going by the posts here, it seems PS4 may be the most stable platform to play Hitman 3 on.

Good luck to all the players, and IO.

Things are still flickering in my game too. Thank god i’m not epileptic. Series X, 4k HDR. Hope IOI fixes this soon, since a lot of Series X players are having the same problem.

Description: I don’t know if it’s an oversight or it’s intended, but i find it strange that 47 can change from one Biker disguise to another in Berlin (for example, from Biker with cap to Biker without cap), when everywhere else you can’t change from one disguise to another of the same type, even if it looks different.

For example, Caruso’s guards in Sapienza look very different one from each other, but you cannot change directly from one guard disguise to another. Why it should be different for the bikers, i fail to understand.

EDIT: Just found out it doesn’t work with all bikers disguises, only with a few, so it’s probably an oversight. Nothing major of course, but still.
