I’m starting to think the draw distance setting is bugged in general. I previously mentioned Whittleton Creek’s grass drawing in MUCH closer than it did in Hitman 2, even at the same “ultra” setting. Having played more Hitman 2 maps, it seems this is a common issue. In Hawke’s Bay the tall grass pops in at higher detail much closer, in fact I never even knew it popped in at all before and now it’s obvious. Trees seem 2D closer to the player as well, and become 3D noticeable as you get close.
Maybe this was intentional for some reason, making “ultra” a lot closer than Hitman 2’s “ultra,” but “high” seems roughly the same so I think maybe “ultra” just isn’t working correctly? I hope it is fixed if it’s a bug, or changed either way, because it’s very distracting when you sit close to a large PC monitor.
Description : New tree model is much too big and has branches that extend too far to the ground. It graphically obstructs walkways, and 47 can clip right through its branches.
Description: There is no mastery xp bar anymore, so I cannot progress the level further, because there is no mastery level (and no weapon upgrades by the way). My 27/27 unlocks are there though… So as of now I won´t ever be able to unlock the Druzhina 34 ICA Arctic for Hitman 3. I was 16/20 in Hantu and 13 or 14/20 on Siberia…
Also: All my mission storys for Hitman 1 and 2 are at zero by the way, don´t know if that is intended to not carry over.
Platform: PS4 Pro PSVR digital
Location: Paris - Showstopper - A Private Meeting
Description: Bug breaks VR mode in whole game to virtual flatscreen in first person view.
Steps to reproduce:
Start the Paris Showstopper story mission “A Private Meeting” in VR
At the end after the meeting with Decker Novikov is walking up to the railing at the river Seine. He will now be out of sight of anyone and you can take him out.
When you throw him over the railing the short cut scene will force the game to stay in virtual flatscreen mode. There is no way to get the game into VR mode again with the toggle in the main menu, you have to quit and restart the game. When you save your game after the point where the bug happens you can load the savegame after restarting the game but the game is broken: no action overlays for buttons show up anymore (open, hide, pull, etc.)
Bumping scat1620’s post because I have the same bug, and I’ve found others being unable to complete the challenge too.
Platform: PS4
Location: Mendoza
Description : “Estate Wines” challenge.
Steps to reproduce:
Whenever I did it the first time, I got 3/3, but the challenge never registered as completed.
It’s now stuck at 0/3, and picking up wine bottles doesn’t count towards the progress.
No matter if I pick them up in order, where I pick them up from, or if I use different starting locations, it’s always 0/3.
Frequency : Always.
Video
I’ll link scat1620’s video, since it would’ve been the same recording from my side.
Description : The director, while doing his rounds, doesn’t open a specific door. He walks right through it. This happens right after he eats the snack on the counter.
Yuki and her guards also walk right through the door after she talks with the director at the bridge.
Steps to reproduce:
Start the game
Start Hokkaido
Go to location and watch director walk through door after he has eaten the snack
Description : HDR Mode does not work properly. Blacks crushed and adjusting it in the menu does not make any difference at all. Turning HDR on and off does not make a difference either.
Description: Opening the elevator doors in Dubai is permanently ‘remembered’ by the game even without finishing the level first which is usually required with the persistent shortcuts for example. Opening the elevator doors doesn’t appear to be intended as a persistent shortcut anyway either. To show this I deleted all of my saves and disabled autosave first then started the level. As you can see upon first playing the level the elevator doors are closed, I then rush through the level and open them via the terminal and then restart the level and upon checking the elevator doors again they are now open
Steps to reproduce:
Delete Save games manually or play Dubai for the first time
Open the elevator doors using the terminal in Dubai
Thy will now permanently be open even without you having to finish the level first
Are you on Windows Count? If so I pressed Windows Key + R which should bring up the run panel. I then paste this into the run panel and ran it:-
%APPDATA%\IO Interactive\Epic
This should take you into a folder called Epic and in there should be a folder that is titled as a random string of letters and numbers. That is your save game folder. If you delete that it deletes your save games and then the game recreates this folder the next time you run the game.
This keeps your progress too. Although just to be sure you could simply cut and past the savegame folder elsewhere rather than delete it.
Description : Game crashes back to Epic Launcher after pressing Launch Hitman
Steps to reproduce: Load up Epic launcher. Press play on Hitman 3. Small Hitman 3 launcher loads. Press Launch Hitman 3. Starts to load but then screen goes black for a few seconds and then crashes back to the Epic Launcher. No error message.
Frequency :Every time I try and play
It is impossible for me to play. The game crashes and closes as soon as I start a game. My pilots are up to date and I can play other recent games. I reinstall the game and the problem persists.

Description: Despite finding all of the locations and completing the Surveillance Master challenge, the corresponding PlayStation trophy never unlocked and is now impossible to attain.
Steps to reproduce:
Start the game
Load the Chonqing mission
Uncover all 29 locations
Complete In-Game challenge, but do not unlock PSN trophy
Frequency : It happened once, but due to the nature of challenges it is impossible to repeat or resolve the issue
Platform : PC windows 10
Location : Launch
Description : Crashing at launch
Bought Hitman 3 recently from Epic, Here are the steps tried

Tried running the epic as administrator
Tried launching hitman3.exe from the folder
4.Set lower resolutions and even window mode in the launcher options still same error
My drivers are up to date only ( Last game i played is Cyberpunk 2077 in the same system )
Disabled antivirus and tried running
Steps to reproduce : launch the game from EPIC
Frequency : always
Posted a few days ago in the other technical support thread but not had any response so far, not seeing much love for Switch players with connection problems so hoping this is something the devs are at least aware of.
Platform : Switch
Description I’m able to log in and play online for approx. 10 seconds before getting the message Connecting to Cloud Server… and then my game restarts.
Plays perfectly offline so can’t see my internet being the issue
Description: If you go into the HUD menu you can set Mission Stories to Off however this disables Mission Stories completely rather than just the visual HUD of them during missions. This needs to be changed to ONLY remove the visual HUD of Mission Stories.
Also note that if you play missions with Mission Stories off and go through the motions of that Mission Story it still plays out as expected as it should but because it is now off we now won’t get any audio about what is happening. For example if you play the All Seeing Eyes mission story in Chongqing you won’t hear any audio from Olivia or Hush and Royce during their meeting.
Steps to reproduce:
Go into the HUD menu and change ‘Mission Stories’ from ‘Full’ to ‘Off’
Mission Stories will now be completely disabled rather than just having their HUD hidden
Play out a mission story as if it was turned on and you won’t hear any audio related to the events that are happening
I have the same problem. I would accept if certain parts of the carryover could be purged, so the sniper missions were reset and I could do them again.
