Hitman World of Assassination - 3.160 - August 2023 Patch Notes

I like the idea of playing the “Perfect Run”-challenge, so it’s sad that it just basically got scrapped. Could be a pretty satisfying PO to do on some combinations of objectives. Oh well.

…they didn’t say that. They said they were working on fixing it, but removing it was the best they could do for the time being.

Has anyone used gluttony’s sedative gum yet? I recommend you do, as something appears to have bugged with it :wink:
(Or at least it did 3 times in a row with a guard in colorado)

i dont have that dlc!!! What does it do?

Seemingly the gum clips into the npc when they are knocked out, as they drop the packet, so they get flung.

At this point they’ve just got me convinced it’s tied to an EE that no one’s figured out yet…

That used to happen with certain NPCs; are you saying it’s a universal thing now?!

So what was this patch, like, 4 gigs?

Yet despite having 70G free on my PS4, I had to free up 23G more to download and install this patch, meaning I had to delete one of those games I’ve installed and never played.

I’m not smart enough to understand technology but this just seems silly.

Whoops, didn’t realise that was around before the patch - tried it on another guy and it worked as normal. In that case, I should probably specify the guard is the guard on the right at the west bridge spawn (Adam May in contracts mode) so that anyone who wants to try it out knows who to target

It always worked like that on the left-hand frisk guard in NY in front of the vault area from the public-side, i.e. the guard that is immediately to your right when you spawn guard. I wonder if “springiness” has spread…

In these days, I have completed 5 Hardcore campaings and frankly, have been having a lot of fun this time around. Now the timed objectives get completed as soon as all targets are dead, it doesn’t feels unfair for me.

How that usually works on the PS4 is that it needs double the space of the game you’re updating for it to properly patch it.

Something to do with “Copying the entire X_GB file, adding on the new bits of Update code, then deleting the old size X_GB file…”

This is a great change that I’m super glad they implemented last patch. All timed objectives feel on a fair playing field now… :+1:

It’s also consistent with escalations that often feature timed objectives as those stopped when targets were killed.

I know that’s not exactly what they said. That’s why I said basically scrapped. I don’t have much hope for it to be fixed, at their current rate of releasing patches. I can’t see it being high on their priority list, and I won’t be holding my breath.

Again “basically got scrapped” is a far cry from “we’re removing it until we can fix it”. Very different sentences and interpretations.

Still restricted disguise in Romania :frowning:

Is this ever going to get a fix @Travis_IOI? Or was it never meant to be included in the original patch notes at all?

(May 2023)
Un-Patch: Carpathian Laboratory

In our Patch Preview post, we listed the removal of the disguise restriction on the Laboratory Starting Location in Carpathian Mountains. This was unfortunately innacurate and based off an unconfirmed fix. This change is therefore not included in the 3.150.1 patch.

I am not interpreting what IO is writing here. Again, I know what they wrote. What I stated was my personal, slightly cynical, take on PR-talk.

Based on past experience, given how long it took them to address other problematic bugs, if at all, I will consider this PO dead.

Thank you for posting this!

This is one of my most wanted suit unlocks, so I wonder if IOI fixing it would mean that they at the bare minimum are considering making it an unlock…

While I doubt that IOI will add it as a suit unlock because summer is nearly over (September I believe is when it officially ends, but for all intents and purposes for the Summer roadmap, it is over), IOI have been surprising us lately with things like the VIP Patient Suit, Summer Suit (starting suit from Haven Island), Sarejevo Six, The Trinity Pack, and The Drop celebrity Elusive Target, so who knows? Maybe it can go either way…

IOI have given me a pretty good amount of what I’ve wanted and asked for in the past, so I do feel listened to regardless.

I hope IOI eventually also remove the Disguise starting restriction from the Paris Auction starting location… for the sole reason that I want to start there with the Paris Tuxedo with Gloves. LOL

I’m still clinging onto hope we’ll get it eventually :grin:
