HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

PS4 I seem to be unable to open doors on Untouchable, at least before being detected. I was just getting excited about H3 again and then IOI “happened”.

Edit: looks like this might have been a server problem, seems to be ok now.

The surgeon who retrieved the poisoned stem cells still freezes upon doing so, meaning that this assassination method is impossible to complete.

Minor bug but annoying on loadout menu after the new patch sometimes (happen to me 3 times already) when u choose to add/replace item it’s go back to loadout screen without changing adding the item only after 2nd force same thing its working. The ETA mode with the fail bug restrictions before even starting the mode is a big bug bummer. I really think IOI to consider to stop these clocks restrictions for the long run why not make it 10 min penalty or so why wait almost a day?

Platform: Xbox One

Description: Game crashes to menu on startup without an error message.

Platform: PC Digital, PCVR (Varjo, Index, RiftS and Quest 2 all attempted on SteamVR)

Location: Any, I used dubai.

Description : There are two foveated rendering like circles that appear when playing on PCVR. Outside these circles godrays and other things do not render correctly.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Enable VR Mode
  3. Load into any mission (I loaded into dubai)
  4. Notice the two large overlapping white circles in the middle of both eyes in the VR headset

Frequency : Only happens in missions, happens every time. The menu and cutscenes are excluded.

Attach or link to any videos or images that will help explain the issue.

Same on Xbox one x. Ten on ten tries…

Platform: PC Steam
Digital

Location:* Dubai

Description : I dumped the pilot’s body off the walkway next to the helipad.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Dubai mission
  3. knock out guards and pilot around helipad
  4. drag all to scaffolding near ladder.
  5. kick pilot off, glitch under helipad

Frequency : It happen once so far. Feet just glitched through scaffolding when dumping guard on reload.

We’ve resolved an issue where NPCs that were attacked and thrown down an elevator shaft in Dubai would be pacified rather than killed. Now, only death awaits.

Pulling them down pacifies them immediately and still doesn’t kill them when they hit rock bottom.

Video evidence recorded on PC after yesterday’s patch.

Hi all.

I noticed these bugs in the VR version from Epic. Apologies if these are known (I checked but they weren’t listed). I hope IOI can patch up the VR version cos it is fun overall.

Issue: items freaking out
Platform: PC VR - WMR
Location: everywhere
Description: picking up certain items, your arms and the item completely freak out and throw things randomly when you let go. Perhaps related to body position, when facing certain directions it doesn’t happen as much.
Steps to reproduce: pick up lots of things when facing different directions
Frequency: regular.

Issue: people flying off when subdueing
Platform: PC VR - WMR
Location: everywhere
Description: Perhaps related to above bug, when subduing people they also seem to go crazy and perhaps fly in random directions. Perhaps related to body position, when facing certain directions it doesn’t happen as much.
Steps to reproduce: subdue someone
Frequency: regular.

Issue: Running jitters after a short while
Headset: PC VR - WMR
Location: everywhere
Description: When running, after a while the viewpoint starts to shake, and stops when you stop running.
Steps to reproduce: Run a while and change direction
Frequency: regular.

Issue: Cinematics are in the floor
Headset: PC VR - WMR
Location: all cinematics and the sniper scope
Description: The viewport for the cinematics is way too low, then in game it returns to normal. Makes looking down at the cinematics pretty uncomfortable.
Steps to reproduce: watch a cinematic
Frequency: everytime.

Platform: Xbox SeriesX

Description: Game crashes at login

Frequency: Always: if I try to login with my gamertag, the game always crashes; if I create a new profile, it works

How to reproduce: Just try to start up the game.

Failed Troubleshooting: Deleted save, uninstall/reinstall game, clear cache memory, unplugged console for 60 seconds. I loaded the game on 3 different consoles, but it doesn’t work

I know that IOI is aware of that issue, but I try to give as much informations as I can to help IOI to find a fix:

The missing items are very inconsistent: The HMK21 Covert is now available, but the ICA19 Silverballer was available one day before “disappearing” the next day. However, some seems to be consistently absent: for several days, items like the big one, the proximity C-10 or the tanto are still unavailable.

This issue is only for the big stashes. Moreover, the missing items are the same when you select a briefcase in the default loadout (e.g. the silverballer isn’t available in a briefcase)

The small stashes (for small items) hasn’t got that problem. Likewise, there are no missing items (pistols or small items) when you select them for one of the default starting slots.

UPDATE: The missing items seem to change between the days, not after disconnecting or switching off the console and switching on after.

UPDATE 2: The missing items seem to “stabilize”. Currently, the missing items are the same (only the HMK21 Covert reappears and disappears).

Got the same issue on PC. It’s really annoying. And different items missing on different maps.

PLATFORM(S): Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, Xbox cloud gaming

DESCRIPTION: At the main start screen (where it says press “A” to log in as your selected gamertag), the game freezes then hard crashes to the Xbox dashboard (or it just gives the error screen and “disconnected” if attempted with cloud gaming) once the “connecting” icon starts moving, indicating the save data is being accessed/loaded. No error messages, nothing… freeze then hard crash to dashboard.

FREQUENCY: EVERY TIME, AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT OF LOADING THE GAME WHEN IT SAYS “CONNECTING”.

HOW TO REPRODUCE: Just press A to attempt to login to the main menu and it occurs. Very easy to reproduce since that’s all it does every time.

FAILED TROUBLESHOOTING: 1.) Deleted save data from multiple xboxes. Redownloaded that data but same result every time (I refuse to delete both my console save data AND cloud save data because it’ll wipe all my progress that’s carried over since 2016, which are rewards [coins, clothing, etc] for doing elusive targets in H1 & H2. 2.) Uninstalled/reinstalled all owned Hitman content multiple times on multiple xbox consoles (all dlc, the main game itself). 3). Cleared cache many times. Even unplugged my series x and let it sit for a bit after a cache wipe, but it doesn’t matter or make a difference. 4.) Tried to launch and play the game from 3 different locations (Xbox series x, Xbox cloud gaming and Xbox one x) but it’s the same freeze/crash at the same time, every time! 5.) Tried to launch the game with a new profile. Game launches fine on new profile. While doing that, I attempted to switch profiles while sitting at the main “press A to login” screen. Once I switched to my main profile and pressed A, the game froze and crashed a few seconds after the “connecting” icon is moving in the bottom right corner.

Long story short, something with the 20th update ruined everything. I have the deluxe digital edition of H3. I have “H3 deluxe pack” add-on. I have “H3 access pass hitman 2 standard” add-on. I have “H3 access pass hitman 2 expansion” add-on. I have “H3 access pass hitman 1 GOTY upgrade” add-on. I have “H3 access pass hitman 1 complete first season” add-on. I have the “seven deadly sins 1-7” add-ons.

Besides actual DLCs and installed H3 stuff, I have content that’s been unlocked and transferred into H3 from as far back as Hitman 1, which gave me exclusive unlocks in the form of unique coins to use in missions along with unlocked outfit(s) that were in recognition for completing elusive targets from H1 and H2. I don’t know if that is relevant, but it’s worth noting that I have save data that’s been handed down and transferred thru each hitman game since 2016 (that I DO NOT want to lose).

I am in the same condition as NeckPUNCHattack:
all challenge, all elusive target, all dlc, all gears and all suits unlocked. My account is the same as always, it worked before yesterday’s update and and I’ve carried over the progress to every Hitman game since 2016

They’ll probably fix it for the Xbox X Series eventually. Xbox One however don’t be surprised if it never gets fixed.

This one is small and has existed since Hitman 2. Diana will say dialogue even though it’s no longer necessary

Platform: PS4, Digital

Location: New Zealand

Description : Diana will tell you to check the pool area to jimmy open the garage door even after you already infiltrated Alma’s beach house

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Nightcall mission
  3. Infiltrate the house any way (other than using the screwdriver method.) I infiltrated it by climbing up the pipe and climbing into the open window in the bathroom.
  4. Activate the cutscene where Alma arrives
  5. Loiter near the garage area
  6. Diana will tell you to check the pool area so you can jimmy open the garage even after you already completed that objective

Frequency : Often. Every time I walk near the garage area, Diana will say it

Location: Dubai

Description: If you place a banana in front of the elevator, the target dies but doesn’t fall down and their body doesn’t get hidden

Still after able to complete all 3 new sets of the released ET Arcade they still sometime appear failed (very random and annoying workaround is go back in menu and click arcade again rinse and repeat till you somehow able to see the right status of each ETA…

Red suit from trinity pack looks bad on the back it’s like a real UI/render graphics issue that need to be addressed.

In Bangkok another minor rendering issue the background sea with ships are jumps crazy near exit (but not reproduce since I see it on one of the escalation so very minor I guess.

Good luck IOI to solve all issues keep us up to date about new map maybe just maybe before go 007 and disappear give us more DLC maps of new challenges, stories and fun. That would make 2022 much more happier… Long live Hitman. :wink:

Platform: PC (Epic)
Location: Isle of Sgail (but it happens in other 300 NPC maps like Bangkok).
Description: Game crashes when eliminating almost all NPC’s when trying to spawn the Knights.
How to reproduce Just eliminate all the NPC’s and don’t hide bodies. It doesn’t matter how you eliminate them.

If there are too many NPC’s eliminated in large maps with 300+ NPC’s, the game crashes with:

Faulting application name: hitman3.exe, version: 3.100.0.0, time stamp: 0x61e96e3f
Faulting module name: hitman3.exe, version: 3.100.0.0, time stamp: 0x61e96e3f
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00000000001d95e2

I had 25 NPC’s left in the map, I took out the next one and then the game freezes for about 10 seconds, then crashes to Desktop. I restarted the game and loaded the last save game, but as soon as the game loaded the save, it instantly crashes to Desktop. Seems like the problem is preserved within the save game. I restarted the game again and loaded the 2nd last save game - that loaded fine, but after I eliminated a few NPC’s the game crashed again.
I tried punching, shooting, exploding, suffocating the remaining NPC’s, but nothing can get around the problem, the game crashed every time.

My guess:
Maybe there are too many body bags stacked up and the physics engine reaches a limit or overflow of some sort. Just before this limit … as soon as an NPC starts to fall to the ground, the game crashes. The game literally crashes as soon as the bullet hits them, or as soon as your fist impacts the face of the NPC.
This has always been a problem in Hitman 1,2 and 3.
I believe that if you hide lots of bodies to avoid stacked up body bags, it makes it less likely for the game to crash, so it seems like the physics engine cannot handle such situations.

Platform: PC (Epic)
Location: Isle of Sgail (seen it happen on other maps, such as Haven)
Description: You instantly go into combat when an enforcer guard protecting a Target compromises you in a non-trespassing area.
How to reproduce Panic a target, let them run to their panic location, while wearing a disguise that allows you to be in that panic area, walk up to one of the guards who are protecting the target (who are also an enforcer). Let yourself be completely seen by that enforcer, where the indicator fills up to 100%, and you will be instantly in Combat and then 20 surrounding guards will turn orange and then chaos happens.

This never used to happen before game version 2.70 and 3.10.
They used to just make a weird clicking sound when they see you and pretty much ignore you.

There was another similar situation in Sgail where I was not compromised, I was in the black and white cocktail waiter outfit with that outrageous hairstyle, I was not trespassing, and there was no target nearby. As soon as I entered the castle tower from the area where the coffin is with that blindfolded lady playing music, I went into instant combat for absolutely no apparent reason.
I’ve never seen this happen before, before patch 3.10 (Jan 2022). I did take out about 100 NPC’s before it happened and I was compromised (in a different outfit), so it seems that guards remember who you are or what you did are despite being in a completely new/different outfit.
