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[8] |
