The post Hitman 3 carry over website continues to have issues as IO works on fixes appeared first on VG247.
The developer later issued another statement to clarify that it’s working on a solution so that PC players don’t have to buy Hitman 2 again.Īll these problems aside, Hitman 3 is a pretty good game, hey. Though this isn’t a problem on consoles, IO’s decision to publish the game exclusively on the Epic Store meant that PC players may not be able to bring forward Hitman 2 levels without re-buying the game on the Epic Store.
This comes just a couple of days after confusing statements on the state of license transfers, specifically on PC. In the next few hours, our updates will be less frequent – thanks for your patience!” We want to get you (& your progress) in the game ASAP. The developer tweeted again a couple of hours later saying, “We hope many of you are enjoying the game & we’re continuing to make progress on fixing server issues. It’s a little confusing how this all plays out.
“We’re doing everything we can and reading all your comments while we work,” IO wrote on Twitter at the time. If you’ve unlocked Hitman 1 levels in Hitman 2 (and played them) then the progress you’ve made will carry-over into Hitman 3.
IO is also “escalating” the issue where some players can’t reset their password because the reset email never arrives. I already own this on Epic but rather continue the Game/Year 2 on Steam. The good news is that even if the transfer request fails, it will still be placed on a queue viewed by IO, so it will be approved sooner or later. The developer said that “thousands of players” are trying to jump in at the same time, causing a massive hit to servers. To its credit, IO Interactive has been active on Twitter, confirming early on that it’s aware of the problem and working on a fix.
That’s because old progress wipes new Hitman 3 progress, meaning players with a long history of unlocks, location mastery, challenge completion and profile XP are essentially locked out of playing the new game. Hitman 3 is the final chapter to conclude the World of Assassination trilogy where Agent 47 attempts to permanently take down a secret society known as Providence. This is particularly frustrating for Hitman 2 players with hours of progress, because transferring that to Hitman 3 is a process that needs to be done before playing Hitman 3. The two biggest problems experienced by players either prevent them from being able to log in at all, or cause the transfer process to fail at the very end. Though the game itself is fine, the website designed to help players bring forward their Hitman 2 progress has been having major issues.Įven at the time of this writing, the site is still not working as intended. Yesterday’s launch of Hitman 3 wasn’t as smooth as developer IO Interactive or players would have hoped. However, your progression in H2 and H3 will NOT be synchronised.New Hitman 3 owners looking to bring over their career progress from Hitman 2 are stumped. When you complete the carryover process, your existing HITMAN 2 progress will remain as it is (i.e it will not be removed/deleted). For example, if you play H2 on Xbox and PlayStation, you can carryover your H2 Xbox progression into H3 Xbox and independently carryover your H2 PlayStation progress into H3 PlayStation.” “If you have played HITMAN 2 on multiple platforms, you CAN perform a carryover for EACH of those profiles, but only within the same platform, as listed above. “Progression carryover is a one-time process, meaning once you have performed a carryover for a particular platform, you will not be able to do so again at a later time. It only matters that progression can only move forward and within the same console ‘family’. It’s not in my career inventory screen, nor is it in the pre-mission load-out. “Essentially, it doesn’t matter what specific console you have earned progression on. The joy over having finally been able to carry over my previous items has now subsided with the realisation that the Trinity Pack content was deleted from my profile. given the option to carry over unlocks and progression into HITMAN III.
