Not to be confused with Hitman: Contracts.
Hitman 3 (stylized as HITMAN III) is the eighth main game in the Hitman series, and the third game in the "World of Assassination trilogy." Levels from the two previous games can be played within Hitman 3 by using "Access Passes" (previously called the "Legacy Pack" in Hitman 2) with upgrades to lighting, reflections, physics, etc.
Importing levels from Hitman 2 and its 2016 Legacy Pack from Steam to EGS can be done here. See the Player Guide by IO Interactive for more information.

Issues fixed
Can't connect servers
- Anti-virus' web security may block a secure connection to the Hitman's servers.
Disable your anti-virus' "Web Security" feature
|
- Otherwise, a real-time health status of HITMAN™ services is available here : https://hitmanstat.us/
Can't launch the game after a BSOD/hardware failure
- When your computer encounters a BSOD (for whatever reason), there is a small chance that the shader cache of the game will become corrupted. When that happens, it is no longer possible to start the game. An easy solution is to clear the shader cache.
Clear game's shader cache pipeline[4]
|
- Go to
%LOCALAPPDATA%\IO Interactive\HITMAN3
- Remove both
PipelineCache.bin and PipelineLibrary.bin files.
- Start the game.
- These files will reappear after a shader compilation.

Mods
- NPC "Refaced" mods: Adds additional faces (some unused) for NPC background characters for Dartmoor, Dubai and Mendoza, which lessens the duplicate faces seen in those levels' crowds.
- Lighting Ultimate changes bloom levels and disables most post processing effects used in the levels. Also changes lighting of Marrakesh to its pre-Hitman GOTY edition lighting.
