You’re playing on PC right? In PS4, he’s instantly there if you skip the cutscene. https://youtu.be/zfSVK2jPUxA?si=2fmzpT-rTENRnMcB
I think the platform has something to do with the issue too.
If I’m not mistaken, this guard spawns across the creek when this bug happens, so if you wait there at that bench for long enough he eventually arrives on his own. Not a fix, but it would allow you to still get the clue.

Yes, I read your original post thoroughly and I understand that for you (PS4), he appears if you skip the cutscene while starting as the garbage man whereas when I tested on PC with keyboard / Steam, skipping or not skipping the cutscene while starting as the garbage man had no effect: he was not present until ~1:35 per in-game clock when he would appear from inside the creek, walk up the bank, and to the bench.
With the added oddity of the clue status, it’s definitely a bug regardless of platform.
Best regards.
Platform: Xbox One
Digital
Location: All, Freelancer mode
Description: XP gained at the score screen counts both the mission, and the preceding one. Doubling the xp gained. Same doubling occurs for challenge (one campaign completed counts for two).
The challenge double tick can be observed on the safehouse return.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start the game
- Start Freelancer
- Play one mission (takedown, showdown)
- Scored action are seemingly counted twice, once before the original score screen, a second time after
- The original score screen only show the first instance of it.
- As a first consequence, scored actions under a challenge see this challenge moving by two ticks. Observable at the return to the safehouse.
- As a second consequence, the XP gained on the mission will be appear on the next mission completed score screen in addition to this mission score. In essence doubling it.
Frequency: Always.
Note:
- Game crashed on a mission exit before the bug was first observed.
- Only xp is doubled. Merces gained are not affected
- The Player Profile level visible under career and in the main menu is affected by the double xp gained before the next completion screen. In a parallel to the challenge double tick.

Description: The Club Boom DJ suit (or however it is spelled) doesn’t apply: if chosen in mission loadout, the base suit is applied (or previous one, haven’t checked properly). While in Freelancer choice menu, the suit just doesn’t change: the previous one stays.
Frequency: always.
Note: other items from Drop pack appear in missions properly.

Likely a mod conflict.
I’m surprised no one has pointed this out yet:
Platform: Steam
Safehouse (freelancer):
Description: The new suit that came with the purchasable Drop pack has the incorrect name tag when you put it on in the mirror. It’s labeled [‘Char_Reward_Tomorrowland_Hero_DJSuit_M_Name’]
Steps to Reproduce:
Load up Freelancer, go to a mirror and select the suit.
Frequency: Always

I assume your game is modded and hasn’t been redeployed since the update yet?

I have like 2, but only 1 suit mod. Is that the issue?

Sliding doors become impossible to open if you attach a taser device or similar to them (doesn’t happen with micro audio for some reason - I guess it sticks through the door less). This can allow you to get yourself softlocked in New York pretty quickly…
A shame because I wanted to rig a door with a taser and propane so when it slides open the taser will go close enough to the propane to set it off, but NPCs will just phase through any doors that are blocked this way…

Saw this mentioned on Discord the other day by someone.
The name of the challenge is misspelt for completing The Ostentatious Arcade contract. There is an extra ‘t’ in there.

New patch, same bugs.
Platform: PS5
Digital + disc
Location: All Hitman 3 Locations
Description: “SAVING” is stuck on the screen on every Hitman 3 map. This is a PS5 exclusive bug that has been in the game for 3,5 years now and never been acknowledged. Never been mentioned in the known issues
Steps to reproduce:
- Start the game on PS5
- Load up any Hitman 3 mission
- Saving forever
Frequency: Always. Every time. Saving.
Why do you refuse to fix this bug? If you are incapable of fixing it, it would be far easier to just publicly come out and say it. Game development is difficult, communication is not.

I dont think the latter is a bug and the former has been noted by combat glue
I know, i was hoping maybe i can convince the devs to try to make it able to melee people on stairs as a little parting gift before support ends
