HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

I get it is frustrating if you are one of those who constantly have issues with the game. And yet that is not the proper way to report issues. If you post that in unrelated threads, it is more likely the report does not reach the bug tracker.

You can use their ticket system which is the most direct way to report issues:
https://ioisupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

I am also sure they are not ignoring issues related to the game being inaccessible. Try to give as many information as possible.

They know every issue that has been mentioned here. You are not telling them anything new by putting it in a new thread. If nothing had been done about it yet that’s because they haven’t been able to do anything about it yet, and maybe you need to exhibit patience of your own. The game is going nowhere. Go play something else and come back later when they’ve had a chance to fix it for you.

Smh. That’s just not an acceptable thing to say. Any of it.

I love when people say these things that you just said, implying I’m foaming at the mouth unable to wait minutes and seconds for a fix. Hate to break it to ya, but I’ve waited long enough, and I assure you, it has been quite a while of waiting to play a game I own.

Play something else? Lol. Like H3 is the only game I own and try to play. Stop with the silliness. And yes, I do, but guess what? Literal months have gone by since I’ve been able to actively play H3 without issue. The game was broken and wouldn’t load past the main login screen without hard crashing. That was happening to me since 2021. IOI put out an update to fix that. I was able to log in ONCE since the update, now it’s basically the same issue except the crashing. No connection to H3 servers, so no online features… which are: elusive targets, contracts, sniper mode, unlocks, progression/XP… and that’s just a few features I don’t have access to. This has been a continuous broken mess since 2021, but yea, exhibit patience. Great advice.

I guess It’s easy for someone like yourself to be negative towards someone like me who just wants to be able to play a game I own and haven’t been able to do anything in since last year, but maybe if you were capable of showing empathy and understanding and maybe if this was happening to you as well, you wouldn’t want to have someone come up to you to tell you to “be patient” or “play something else.”

Maybe understand I’m here because I’ve been waiting since last year for this mess of a game to get fixed, I’ve tried everything from posting in the bug thread/technical support pages, I’ve contacted zendesk and Im STILL patiently waiting. And if you consider trying to find help and posting in various places here since 2021 as impatient, lol, wow…. I wonder what doing anything else would be considered.

But yea, don’t have compassion for someone (and im not alone… read the threads) who wants to get access to something that’s not replayable (elusive targets) and wants to be able to enjoy. I hope you have a perfect time with every game you ever play and no one ever criticizes you for repeatedly seeking help to no avail.

Thanks for your warm input.

Squawk squawk squawk.

When you come in whining needlessly in the wrong place for the wrong reasons, you get called out for it. You just did it again, having learned nothing. Not impressed.

Ah yes, internet’s favorite way of solving problems: complaining.

Keep at it boy, whine as much as you can, tire those fingers up. Teach all this people with pesky lifes and responsibilities how it’s done, when IO finally put themselves together and release the “super ultimate patch that fixes everything ps: thanks that one guy who pointed this stuff out, you know who you are ;)”, they all gonna have to thank you and apologize.

Quit the drama people, it is perfectly fine to be a little upset for ongoing issues, that is the downside of forced online connections. Don’t provoke more answers please, especially if they are off topic.

Why was this flagged?

It says it was “spam,” which it wasn’t. I’m just trying to get some help with this annoying VR glitch I can’t get around. :’(

Platform: PC, Steam, Digital, Valve Index

Location: ICA Training Facility “Cuba” (VR Tutorial)

Description: In VR, certain objects, when held in the right hand, refuse to move and remain frozen in place. When attempting to complete the VR tutorial, I ran into this problem with the brick, the TAC-SMG Covert, and the Sieger 300 Ghost. This makes pacifying the guards with the brick and shooting the guards with the Sieger 300 Ghost extremely difficult. Shooting the vase with the TAC-SMG Covert was impossible. Something I noticed was that if I “primed” the brick, it then decided to follow my movements. Unpriming it made it freeze in place again.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the VR Tutorial mission
  3. Pick up either the brick, the TAC-SMG Covert, or the Sieger 300 Ghost
  4. Try to move the item while it is in your hand

Frequency: ALWAYS happens

Just want to confirm that this bug still occurs.

Platform: PC, Digital

Location: All

Description : Target Markers “Off” is not off. Strange behaviour with “minimal” setting.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set target markers in minimap settings to “off”.
  2. Start a new mission and look at the full map (back button).
  3. The targets are visible on the map.
  4. While still in the mission, set target markers to “minimal”.
  5. Look at the map again, the targets are still visible.
  6. Start a new mission or load a save with the minimal setting still applied
  7. The target markers are now hidden on the map, unless within a close distance.

Frequency : Always

I would expect a consistent behaviour for the minimap settings. Either targets are always visible regardless of minimap setting, or the target visibility on the map is the same as the minimap setting. (either fully on or off) I would also expect this change to apply immediately, and not just on reloading the game.

Currently to fully hide targets from the map you have to perform an exploit, first loading the mission with “minimal” setting, then once ingame switching it to “off”, as “minimal” targets still show up as blips even if other npcs are disabled. (another bug perhaps?). This is a pain with “master” difficulty as you might imagine due to the save limitation, simply forgetting to set it back to minimal before loading means you have to load again if you don’t want to know the target location from the map.

It is also a pain for escalations, as there often is no way to identify an escalation or contract target without the marker. So you have to reload in order to get it back.

Other objectives are also not hidden like targets are. (third bug or intended?)

Platform: PC, Digital

Location: Santa Fortuna

Description : Invisible Faucet

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Load Santa Fortuna
  2. Infiltrate the mansion
  3. Go to the gardens to the south of the main gate
  4. Search the walls near the ladder, there is an invisible faucet you can turn on

Frequency : Once

Platform: [PC]
Digital : Epic Store ?

Location: Chongqing.

Description : In armory taking the mine on desktop,
cause crash,
two time.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Chongqing mission
  3. Go to armory in ICA subbase.
  4. Try to take the mine on desktop.

Frequency : First time playing. Taking it caused first crash.
I thought because the graphic cards si to hot.
Second time, I retry to take the mine, again crash !

Platform: PC Digital.
Location: All places with water.
Description: The water does not load.
Steps to Reproduce: Open any map with water e.g. Sapienza then look at the water.
Frequency: Always happens.

You better provide your PC specs, because personally in my game everything is okay with the water in both, Epic and Steam versions.
Also did you update your graphics card driver? If I was you I would’ve tried to reinstall the video driver completely. Try to delete shader cache also

Yeah, it’s most likely that. My graphics card is quite old.

I also don’t have water. Although everything worked fine before. And after the update 3.100.0 I had problems with water.

There appears to be a save/load glitch where I saved a few moments BEFORE I was spotted by an enforcer and when I loaded I was at the point I had just gotten got by said enforcer. Retrying the load doesn’t change the results.

There’s a glitch in Chongqing where the datacore hack sequence occasionally fails to complete forcing me to load or restart. It effects mission, contracts mode, and elusive targets alike. For this reason if you’re wanting to hack the datacore in the last one DO NOT eliminate any elusive targets beforehand.
