The last patch finally fixed the “Dartmoor Drop” (as the October patch notes called it when it wasn’t actually fixed) outside Alexa’s office. The drop is also possible in the area outside Alexa’s bedroom.

If the alternative drop gets patched that last little bit of sanity I have for anything on Dartmoor’s upper floors will vanish, please let this one live!!!

Since the good one has already been patched I’d personally rather that one be patched too. It’d give me the push I need to actually learn how to get out of the mansion and past all the NPCs without cheesing. I should do it anyway really but it’s a little too hard to resist saving that time and effort. Feels like the existing ledge drop patches are a half measure that makes things more inconvenient without actually fixing the design flaw introduced by them.

Dartmoom map
Freelancer mode
As in the screen shot. The suspect marker is showing in this area but there is nobody
with a suspect marker over their head. All show “no suspects here” in the camera.
It’s only this once, but I’ll need to restart b/c I’ve killed all possible suspects and non were the target.
Either one was and it’s a glitch or the target-suspect on the map is the actual target and is somehow glitched. Either way this is a bug…
It’s after 4am and I’m too tired to fire up OBS for a video clip too.
I killed both guards and neither was a suspect nor a target and the purple X remains on the map.

Description:
Since the new Freelancer update the Sieker and Kalmer darts are no longer exchangeable with each other. At first I thought this was only in the Freelancer mode, but now it is in the regular game mode as well.
I’m not sure if this was intentional, but because this was ‘tolerated’ for years, this now ‘breaks’ custom contracts and I’m pretty sure it ‘breaks’ some featured contracts too.
The idea was that if you bring in a Kalmer next to a Sieker, you can have 3 Sieker darts (and if you bring two Kalmers you can even have 4 Sieker darts!).
So please consider to restore this, or else consider to make a second Sieker gun unlockable.
Maybe you could make it an unlockable with the “Top Dog” challenge, so that people really have to work hard to obtain it!

No
you’ve stated above that due to the bug/potential change for the worst that it’s necessary for some FCs so having it locked behind a long and grueling marathon of a challenge is not the smartest move

I agree. I also don’t see in general why there should be a need to have people work really hard for an unlock. We didn’t have to work really hard for the first Sieker or the two Kalmers.
I’m in favour of just implementing another challenge for it like they did with all the recently added unlocks.

Description:
After assassinating the target by overflowing the sink and throwing in a car battery,
I electrocuted myself because the electricity remained in the watering hole indefinitely.
Also, the graphic of the water field does not match the actual extent of the electric shock.
Since there is no way to visually confirm this, it is easy to get oneself caught in the middle.
Steps to reproduce:
1.Overflowing water in a sink somewhere.
2.Throw a car battery into a body of water.
3.Assassinate one target.
4.The water field remains charged.
Frequency:
Occasionally it happens.

Yeah that one sink is one of those bullshit type, they have a unrealistic electricity size and i have actually been (iirc) electrocuted on the stairs too!
I don’t know why the electricity stayed though, did he have a taser on him? (That’s the only thing i can think of)

Elusive Target Arcade
If you kill a non-target, the red “Non-Target Kill” XP text doesn’t appear on-screen in any Arcade contract. All others which appear in white (ie “Guard Headshot” or “Fresh Disguise”) still appear.
The objective was a remote explosion kill and I took the Intercepted Package from a suspect.
Description says it’s an explosive, evidently a remote explosive.
But killing a target with it doesn’t count as a screenshot says.
Overlook which should be rectified

yeah for whatever reason this challenge only seems to recognise remote explosives in the form of an item you can bring from the safe house or the occasional regular ‘remote explosive’ that can be found on some maps
definitely an oversight by IO - if you’re gonna implement this cool feature of suspects carrying potentially useful items then it’d make sense that these items should be coded in a way that the game recognises their use towards challenges and objectives

Freelancer, Haven Island.
Objective - Hide Target Bodies, done by dumping three into the ocean and one into the crate.
Objective failed. Apparently dumping bodies into the ocean doesn’t register as hidden.

Dartmoore map
Killed, non-target suspect remains on map with bright purple icon; body vanished.
I think I might have reported this type of bug before. Where a non-target suspect killed
and placed in a crate continues to show on the map. This one the body vanished too.
I killed a non-target suspect. I looked on the map for other suspects and the killed
character was still showing and when I looked for the body it was missing / vanished.

All locations (I assume - I observed this in Freelancer/Dubai)
While hiding in a closet/bin and holding a briefcase, if you go into your inventory and equip an item that 47 holds with both hands (ie the Golden Sawed-Off Bartoli 12G) this will cause the usual action of 47 to drop the briefcase. However he drops it INSIDE the closet/bin making it impossible to pick it up again.

Description: Crowbar falls through world and is lost forever
Steps to reproduce:
- Bring the ICA Crowbar (freelancer tool) on a mission
- Throw it at an AI to knock them out.
- Observe that sometimes, the crowbar will fall through the world and be lost forever (very frustrating in Freelancer!).
Frequency: Has happened to me 5-10 times.
I have video captures of this, but don’t have an easy way to upload them and don’t see where to attach them to a post.
