HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

Platform: PS4, digital

Location: Sapienza

Description: On the Sapienza mission through Hitman 3, there is a room opposite the lab with the virus. In the room is a table where scientists and security guards alike come to drink. Trying to poison the cups on the table or tamper with them in any way results in the game instantly crashing on me. I’ve reloaded, reinstalled and it happens everytime.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Sapienza mission
  3. Head down to the lab and get to the room opposite it
  4. Interact with / poison the cups on the table
    The game will instantly crash

Frequency : Everytime

Platform - PS5 (probably all of them though)
Location - Sapienza (probably all the locations with a lot of npcs)
Problem - I’m doing a knock out everyone child while retaining silent assassin and when I have a lot of people knocked out (about 75%) of the map, whenever I save the game and reload in, I get a thing saying that a non target was killed. Sometimes it’s just a regular civilian, sometimes it says guard accident, but it’d always 1 person.
Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Knock out 75% of the map while retaining silent assassin I guess. I spent like 6 hours doing this and trying to reload saves where npcs wouldn’t get killed.

Location: Berlin - The Lust Assassination

Description : Climbing up on a vent from a box causes Agent 47 to go through the wall and get stucked.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Lust assassination mission
  3. Start the game and run next to the Hirschmuller’s office entrance. Next to the camera there is a box to jump on from which you can jump on the vent.
  4. Jump on the vent while running and with weapon equipped. I’m not sure if i was switching weapons when this happened. It happened multiple times.

Frequency : 25% for me.

Everytime I complete “The Golden Handshake”, I lose my Internet connection and have to return to menu and reconnect. It’s only for this mission, every time.

Location - Hokkaido (snow festival mission)
Description:

I attempted “the Groom” chalenge, but i did not get the achivement. I used “white katana” that I unlocked in the H3 deluxe escalation. It would be fair that it counts as katana, what other purpose do we have for it anyway.

It’s highly likely that you have to use the katana that’s near the ledge where you start as the Ninja. Unfortunately, the game is just that way. You’ll not unlock whichever challenge if you use a similar weapon, the only difference being a reskin.

This challenge was introduced in H1 (2016) when the White Katana wasn’t in the game yet.

Also, don’t bother with doing this on the Snow Festival mission. Find a Contract (in Contracts Mode, search) that will help you with this. The people you kill have to be targets and there aren’t enough targets on the normal missions.

The things to search for are:
Hokkaido: Situs Inversus
X number of targets (see the challenge for number)
Lethal Melee

Or use the term ‘Groom’ to help better narrow the search results.

It seems like with this ‘Challenge Pack’(?) I had to play more than one contract. These steps might not be exact, but it should be enough for you to find out what to do.

Yeah, the white katana is bugged in this regard and not considered a ‘katana’ by the game for challenge purposes. I had the same problem with the ninja challenge in Hawke’s Bay. You have to use either the regular katana or the unlockable Masamune.

Thanks for the tips! I stole the katana from Yuki’s room and it worked.

Not sure if i or anyone posted this before. In the Illusions of Grandeur Special Assignment, the chawl building is not a trespassing area, the guards wont let you in, but once you’re in they wont do anything if they see you.

Despite having them unlocked and available in inventory, these items are not available for selection in stashes for every missions in the game.

Hope that IOI has a look on it with their future patches. Basically, the idea of having items is to be able to use them in the game :innocent:

Do some of you have the same issue?

UPDATE: I launched yesterday the game a few moments after I reported the different unavailable items from stashes, and magically: some reappeared while other vanished.

Has reappeared: ICA19 Silverballer, Enram HV CM, ICA Woodsman Rifle Covert, Sedative poison vial and lethal pills.
Has vanished: Lethal poison vial, lethal syringe

Very frustrating as this bug is not consistent.

There might be others but I’ve only really spotted it with the unsilenced TAC-SMG MKII.

This should be called The Big One by the way.

It happens to me also, usually it’s the Sieger 300 which goes missing for a few days then it reappears but other things vanish… Very confusing.

Looks like IO´s way of preparing people for the Freelancer mode. Get ready for your shit which normally is available suddenly not being available… (on a serious note though, it´s an annoying bug and I hope for your guys´ sake it gets fixed asap)

So my game crashed in the middle of an elusive target arcade contract, locking me out. But the thing that really annoys me is that it has also locked me out of a different one that I haven’t even played yet as well. I cannot reproduce this yet for obvious reasons.
[UPDATE] Never mind, now they’re all available again. It’s all a bit buggy at the moment, isn’t it?
[UPDATE] I just completed the contract that crashed my game, and now it says I’ve failed again, along with the third elusive target contract that hadn’t failed which, again, I haven’t played yet. What is going on?
[UPDATE] Now the second contract is available again, the first contract’s still unavailable, and the third contract (which I played, but quit from before I completed any objectives) says I failed.

Installed latest patch, to try out the Elusive arcade, only to be greeted with 12h countdown on each contract, while it was practically impossible to fail beforehand.

I know I have to wait 12 hours, but still, it should be checked out…
