Hitman 3 - July 2021 Patch (3.50)


I really hope this resolves the “unable to load requested menu” error I’ve been getting since April that has made the game unplayable :crossed_fingers:t3:

Yea before small update had locked 144 at 1440p in at end of an era now am getting stuttering with a 6800xt

Same, usually IO precompiles the shader cache after each update to avoid to have too many in-game stutters during the live shader compilation, might be because I use an old driver (because of the flickering issue since 471.11), but yeah the game stutter each time a new shader is compiled. The more I play the less I have these stutters, typical.

Already grabbed the Goldballer. Doesn’t look very gold in the pic. Imma try a mission with it in my load out…

Looks fine and nicely bling-y in missions, just the loadout pic reflections not doing its goldness justice - it looks right in-game where it matters.

WHELP that was a bust. Same issue as always, can’t finish anything that isn’t main game - click the Exit Mission prompt, get a disconnected message, choose RECONNECT, get the pictured error message (repeated each time I click RETRY), click GO TO MENU, and then I’m offline.

Will post in Technical Support and email iOi one more time, but otherwise RIP my Hitman days I guess, save for starting all over with a new account and grinding the hundreds of hours to unlock everything :man_shrugging:t2::sob:

They definitely need to add another spotlight to the inventory image.

I’m reminded of the time when the Silverballer looked black, because there wasn’t any light hitting it in the inventory.

Glad it looks like the fix has arrived for Hitman GOTY levels being missing for Xbox players :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks again to the brilliant team at IOI

I was really hoping they’d fix the briefcase throwing animation, that and the much needed shoulder swap. These are quality of gameplay issues that I believe are much more deserving than granting us the over requested golden baller.

Whats wrong with the throwing animation?

You have to switch hands when throwing it. Unlike in hitman 2 where it was an instant action.

But I like the new way better. It’s more realistic than that weird quick switch he does which always looked bad to me

I’m right handed and have no problem tossing something a short distance with my left hand. 47 should be ambidextrous anyway, isn’t he supposed to be like superhuman?

I’ve got to be honest realism and immersion are not something I care too much about. I’d prefer a more streamlined experience that we got from the previous 2 games.

But didnt he quickly swap it to the right before throwing. It looked weird to me personally

Is having to ready the briefcase before you throw it really a fun killer for you?

Having it look a little weird when he throws the briefcase doesn’t kill any fun for me. I do get frustrated when I’m trying to speedrun a contract and I have to juggle the briefcase before I throw it. He could just hold it in his right hand when he doesn’t have an item equipped.

You could bring in a KO item like the crystal ball
