So its been a long time since we got any updates. Which is a good thing I guess considering how each update introduced new bugs and essentially broke the game more. But this is a serious issue. The game has really bad optimization and IOI has not revealed any plans on improving the optimization. Areas with lots of npc's have huge framerate drops, especially the riot area in marrakesh or some of the mansion interiors in sapienza. I have a gtx 760 2gb, which in no way is a weak graphic card considering I can play the latest games like witcher 3 or gta 5 or rise of the tomb raider on very high graphic settings. My benchmark results with hitman on all possible highest settings with memory guard on at 1080p is an average 30fps +. But that is because some areas are have decent optimization which balance the bad optimized areas or areas with lots of npc's to give me an average 30+. These unoptimized areas tend to take away the immersion from the game for me everytime. I have to lower all the graphic settings at 1080p to get playable framerate in those areas. I don't know how some people are using dx12 because for me its completely broken. Benchmark shows sub 20 average lol. Maybe thats because my graphic card was not made for dx12 but hell, dx12 is compatible with mine so it should work. Either way I really hope that there are gonna be more updates in the future to improve the optimization. Why do I have to have a 970 or a 980 in order to get playable framerates in this game. I mean Absolution was one of the best optimized games of 2012 and this does not have waaaayyyy better graphics than absolution. They are pretty much the same. So I believe IO should be able to optimize the hell outta this game. Really looking forward to IO addressing the optimization issues.

I've noticed a lot of debate between people about what makes the escalations fun or not, so I figured why not start a more detailed conversation about it. I'd like to discuss both complications we have already seen, and/or ideas for new ones that could be fun.

I call one of my complication ideas "Empty Handed"

As you might be able to guess, you go into the level with nothing but a suit (no starting with a disguise), no weapons or gadgets. You must complete the level with only what you can find inside. Kind of sounds like a level 5 complication.

How about some of your thoughts or suggestions? Favorite Escalations? We can also describe or discuss what we think makes an escalation good or bad, or compare one escalation to another.

Have fun!

This week in HITMAN, we've released the fifth Elusive Target.

After a rush of information post-E3, this week has been more steady, but still with new content added to the game. That brings us to 16 consecutive weeks of adding live content, since we launched HITMAN on March 11. Don't expect that to stop any time soon, as we roll on into July with more content and a focus on Marrakesh.

Live Content this week

New Escalation Contract in Marrakesh - The Lupei Sensitivity

Two targets, a laptop to hack and some new complications; One of the targets doesn't appear on the map or in instinct and the 'Wild Card' complication will move, remove or add some things to the mission. All of that happens within 5 stages.

New Elusive Target in Marrakesh - The Gunrunner

The Gunrunner will be in Marrakesh for 72 hours, giving you the entire weekend (in almost all regions) to take on the contract, track him down and add another ET to your collection. If you've managed to complete all four previous Elusive Targets, you'll unlock the signature Hitman Absolution suit with tie pin and gloves when you complete ET #5.

Elusive Target Notifications

We want to make sure that you don't miss out on hearing about Elusive Targets if you haven't seen our latest blog posts. If you want to increase your chances of not missing an Elusive Target, you can sign up for email notifications through a Square Enix Members acount. You can sign up for an account in-game from the Featured Hub, and to make absolutely sure you get these notifications, follow these steps:

• Log in to your Square Enix Members account.
• Go to 'My Profile' and then 'Settings'.
• Near the bottom of the page, look for 'Manage your email subscriptions'. This link will open a new page.
• Check that the 'receive emails' and 'HITMAN' toggles are active/blue.

You’ll also occasionally receive emails about new Episode releases and other big news about HITMAN. In the meantime, we’re looking at other ways to keep you informed about new Elusive Targets when you’re on the go. Stay tuned for more details of exactly we’ve got in mind.

By doing that, you're also giving yourself a chance to be contacted about player surveys and other news about HITMAN.

Featured Contract Submissions

Now that we're in July, we're looking at our next refresh of the Featured Contracts in-game and we're primarily looking for Contracts in Marrakesh to add to the list.
If you've created something worthwhile, you can submit it in this forum thread and we'll pick the best ones to be included in the game.

Hey everyone, me again... (sadly)

Anyway, quite recently, I've made a thread about pissing off this forum. And I was wondering what kind of thread I could make now... and then I got this idea while watching my friend finishing ET #5. Well, I hope no one has made this thread before me, but whatever.

As you might or might not've guessed, this thread is about gear ideas for Agent 47. But not just any ideas - funny ideas, non-serious ideas. I thought this might be fun thread to try to make, so...

Examples:

ICA Deep Undercover Hair Gel
Standard Issue Hair Gel used for deep undercover missions within enemy territory where agents need every detail of the deep undercover disguise to be on point. Also often used during deep undercover sexual intercourse as a lube, among other deep undercover uses.

ICA Toaster 9000
Used not only as a killing weapon in water-rid areas, but also as a food maker, ICA's Toaster 9000 is a gear to every situation agent might be in during his ̶m̶i̶s̶s̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ deep undercover missions.

Its the first elusive I fail and I am so fucking frustrated. I was really hyped about getting the absolution suit and I died as soon as I got to the garage just because some stupid soldier saw me from a really far distance dragging a body. So I forgot I was playing an elusive target and I got into a gunfight, and just when I realised I only had one chance I died. I wanna cry, I need some love

Why doesn't IO just make this mechanic available to do with all doors? I miss looking through the keyholes as a way to scope out the next room. I know they probably didn't program it in due to Instinct working the way it does (why look through a keyhole when you can see through the entire wall), but I prefer to play without Instinct, and looking through keyholes is a legacy feature from past games. It seems the mechanic is already in the game in some form so go ahead and bring keyhole peeping back.

Either that or make one of the future unlocks a Splinter Cell-esque spy camera to slip underneath the door.

There should be a different alert level if a guard finds an npc killed vs unconcious. Killed should have a longer search and higher alert . Currently its the same. Would gove you a reason to subdue vs kill other than just points

Guards should notice blood pools. Its in every game but this one.

Customizable weapons. Silencers etc vs just adding a whole new weapon.

Swat team gets called in if you go on a rampage. Like in absolutions king of chinatown level.

More brutal and varied melee kill animations with various weapons.

Running around/ sneaking should be more suspicious than walking while in disguise. Yes they look at you and comment but don't do anything. And running in front of an enforcer in disguise should raise his alert faster than walking. Currently its the same.

While in disguise in front of an enforcer turning your back to him should reduce suspicion distance by 25-30%.

Tell me what you guys think about this. I'm personally somewhat upset io said they would listen to feedback but core gameplay hasn't changed hardly at all imo

I bought Hitman yesterday (finally!) and just finished the whole prologue. I thought I'd make a little writeup on my first impressions of the game.

Firstly about myself: I haven't been gaming long, around 4-5 years. I'm a huge stealth fan: not just Hitman but also Splinter Cell, Dishonored, Thief and Assassins' Creed (the older games). My introduction to the series was Absolution, which I didn't really like. Out of curiosity, I looked it up and found that my reaction was mirrored by other fans of the series, which interested me enough that I then played Blood Money, and then went on to Silent Assassin and Contracts. I gave C47 a try too, but found it too dated. I like to mess around with all the options available in nonlinear games like Hitman, and explore all my paths. If I mess up, I'll go all out and commit suicide in-game, and then give it a shot again. My preferred playstyle with Hitman aims for no casualties except targets, minimal knockouts, full use of disguises, and fast-paced sneaking.

So here's what I thought of Hitman:

• The optimisation is ... weird as hell. I get 55-60 FPS at all medium settings on the Final Test but in Freeform Training, I get 35-40 fps on the boat and 50-60 fps in the lower decks and random rooms. I'm assuming it's the crowd that's stressing my CPU and causing the framerate to drop, but a drop of 10-20 frames seems like overkill to me. Really hope this improves.
• The key bindings. There are way too many keys to interact with stuff. One key for 'pick up', one key for 'use', one key for 'interact', one key for 'movement actions' ... Goddamn. It seems that opening doors has its own dedicated key. Why, FFS? Just do what Blood Money did: have a menu of items that you can interact with and put them all on the same key.
• This game is beautiful. It may be badly optimised but damn if it doesn't look good even on low settings. I wish I had a stronger GPU just so that I could truly appreciate it. Oh well, I guess it's my own damn fault for buying a laptop.
• Inventory system is aesthetically pleasing but not very functional. It doesn't show me everything I'm carrying; instead I have to rotate through my list. How hard would it be to just add a full list of everything I have on me to the side of the icon?
• I've accidentally punched so many people instead of subduing them neatly, even if I'm behind their back. I understand this may just be me having to get used to the controls. Right now I start tapping Q repeatedly as I approach my target from behind, and sometimes I subdue them, sometimes I CQC them. I'm sure there's an easier way to tell me what's going to happen when I press the melee button, because the 'subdue' prompt only turns up about half the time.
• Neck snapping doesn't sound that lethal. Maybe this is a bit nitpicky but when I snap a neck, I feel like I should hear an ASMR-y CRRRACK rather than the unsatisfying ... whatever it is ... noise we have right now.
• The openness of the tutorials itself is a great sign for what comes next. I spent about 3 hours to get all the challenges on the Final Test, and it just kept me coming back for more. And from the gameplay I've seen of Paris, Sapienza and Marrakesh, those maps are massive in comparison. Especially Sapienza, which I've heard is an 'instant Hitman classic'.
• The lack of difficulty options is pretty annoying. I find the game is a fair challenge - not too easy, not too hard - as is, but I'd like real difficulty options, not just the gameplay options we have right now. Limit my saves! Make guards more perceptive! Change NPC placements, numbers and paths!
• On the topic of saves, the implementation of saves is awful. The list scrolls sideways in two rows, and saves can't be deleted. What? Why? Just make it a tabbed scrolling menu. And I REALLY want the ability to delete my saves.
• I really like the ability to replay a cutscene. I know I'm going to be rewatching the 'Call Me 47' cutscene a lot. It's slick and elegant and sums up the series beautifully. And the introduction of the bad guy is smooth and mysterious and well done. I have high hopes for the story of Hitman!

That concludes my rant/writeup. I hope IO reads this and takes this into consideration. Thanks for reading!

Hey there. I'm at level 14 mastery level and I have 2 challenges left (101/103). Those 2 are to start at Sapienza Ruins and start at the Tower. Both of which I don't have the levels for. So I went back and checked the achievements and found that there were a lot of achievements I didn't do, but they were marked as completed - such as .45 Therapy, killing Caruso with the cannon, etc etc etc. I went and did .45 Therapy and nothing was registered.

Alternatively, in Marukesh, I did the challenge where you have to take out the protester. I did it twice. And nothing was registering.

Am I the only one seeing this issue? I looked around but couldn't find any topics describing issues like this.

Thanks.

Peronally? I'm a stripes man. Always preferred the extra pizazz it adds to the suit. Solid colors are just so boring.
