This account has already been the target of a HITMAN 2 to HITMAN 3 profile carry-over or Stadia migration.
Uh, okay, I’m concerned.
I bought Hitman 3 on Steam in order to have an account to migrate my Stadia progress to.
I also bought Hitman 1 and 2 because they were on sale, in order to get the H3 access passes. (Before the WOA announcement.) I guess I migrated my (empty) Hitman 2 account into Hitman 3 when I was trying to get the entitlements over, which I realize was probably unnecessary, but…
what. Does this mean I can’t migrate?! I only played Hitman 2 and 3 on Steam for like ten minutes to make sure it was working. I was expecting to overwrite it with my Stadia profile. But now I can’t?!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat
so I’m going to lose my progress?! I know the Stadia transfer is one-time-only, and that makes sense to prevent people from duplicating their progress into multiple profiles on different services, but there doesn’t seem to be any reason that I shouldn’t be allowed to overwrite my Steam account with my Stadia account
is there any way to delete my steam profile so I can overwrite it?
That really sucks. I’m not entirely sure, but I think if you can delete your Steam data, you then might be able to migrate your Stadia progress over to it.
They’ve got a website to do that, I’ve never used it, but it looks to me like it’s platform specific, so you should still have Stadia data to use after it… don’t quote me on this though
Wow, thanks for sharing. I never saw that before. I’ll look into it tomorrow. Maybe it will work and maybe it won’t, but it’s much more promising than any idea I had. I appreciate the pointer.
Sorry, I wanted to double check with the team before posting here
Yes all items will be transferred, except for the Stadia specific items as stated in the post.
Items that were present on the target (overwritten) account will be lost, with the exception of items granted through DLC ownership.
If you currently have your ICA Performance Coins and alu briefcase on your stadia account, you will still have them after.
I haven’t checked specifically the PC suits, but platform-exclusives are DLC/ownership driven and should unlock automatically on connection.
Sorry, this is a misunderstanding: The performance coin and the alu briefcase are and have always been unobtainable on Stadia because they were given to you in H2 (and H3 after carryover) based on your account for having bought H1 and doing ETs in H1.
So the question is: I have them on PC, they will be overwritten. Or will I keep them because I did not “earn them” in the recent game but instead got them account-based?
So, are they treated as H3 unlocks that we will lose or are they treated as DLC content that are bound to our accounts and wll therefore stay unlocked?
I gave this a shot – the personal data export is very cool – but the deletion says it will take 30 days, which may be too late. Hopefully it actually happens faster.
I’ve looked up other people’s experiences with this, and they say it only took them about 5-10 minutes until they saw all their progress reset.
I doubt your “10-minutes” of Steam data would take that long – unless there’s some backlog of requests, or it needs a human to verify it.
Best of luck.
You’re right, it looks like it’s already worked! I still have to log in and check the outcome, but it’s letting me migrate to Steam now, and my Stadia profile is still intact. Thanks so much for the pointer!
edit: It seemed to be running correctly, showing my Steam profile as the destination, but I reloaded a couple of minutes later and I now see this (I do not on Hitman own Epic, I haven’t ever played it there, but I did link my account):
huh, I guess we’ll see what happens . at this point if it breaks it’s probably my fault for constantly pushing buttons without waiting for things to finish and I’ll live with that.
Oh wow! Make absolutely sure it’ll go to steam if you want it there… But that’s very cool that it worked!
Totally deleted any record of a previous data carryover, cool!!
