i still know that i didnt get suspicious either if it does. there was only about 2 or 3 points that could happen to me (knocking out the guys that are training downstairs, luring a guard sitting outside that room inside to knock him out, and poisoning the wine itself which i definitely didnt get seen either) theres a guard next to the bus stop too thats an enforced, but he never saw me.
Wow I was about to kill Marv and Harry after 20 minutes of figuring out these challenegs and right when I'm about to take a shot at the propane they get dizzy for some reason and step far enough away for the propane to not kill. Fuck this

I always go full autism mode scoping the preview screenshot weeks in advance to figure out where the spot they're standing is and practice infiltrating it, memorizing the layout and guard patterns, roaming the map for tool and escape locations etc. https://media.giphy.com/media/BmmfETghGOPrW/giphy.gif It's worked rather well for both ETs, especially the Sean Bean one because they released FOOTAGE of the target (briefing) early as a trailer, but with this guy all I had was a spot. His footage wasn't put on youtube until he was already available.
Any of you chaps have any tips to boost H2's performance? I have what appears to be a memory leak but the game is still playable enough on medium settings, and I'd like to improve it in any way I can. I had some performance issues with 2016 and spent a long time fiddling with Nvidia settings until I had a maxed out, butter smooth experience as nature intended, but I've had no luck doing the same with HITMAN 2. Disabling the Ansel + Steam overlays hasn't made much of a difference either.
They've came out and said that this is entirely unintentional. It was thought that they did it on purpose where being spotted doesn't count unless it goes to compromised/witness (orange NPC contour) but it turns out the patch that made it so targets spotting you don't count had some side effects. ALL spotting is supposed to discount SA.
Anyone else get random crashes? No error or anything, the game will just completely close.
I guess that's fair. It seemed too easy to sneak into a place, kill the target, and then have a guard escort you out just because you were trespassing.
the funny part is that's a critical point in blood money speedruns
yeah i'm also getting some sort of memory leak or something, one of my auto saves in Another Life gets progressively worse load times until 'Hitman 2 has stopped working'
I did the 6 Marrakesh escalation but didnt' get the sniper rifle. Did they remove it?
cheveyo calibration? not unless they removed it in an update, that was one of the first things i played when i got hitman 2 so i could get a sniper rifle early
I think the escalation you need is part of the GOTY pack.
I'm glad it's not just me but I've been searching high or low for solutions. Hopefully IOI patch the game in the near future but until that time some levels are basically unplayable for me, which is annoying because I'm missing out on time-limited content until it's resolved.
Are you getting random crashes with no errors? Shits happening to me and I have no clue why
Nope, never had the game crash but it runs like shit. The Legacy levels are tolerable (even though I can run them beautifully in 2016), but Miami stutters to the point it's no longer enjoyable so I'd rather wait until it's fixed, if ever. The January roadmap will be out in several days so hopefully there'll be mention of what fixes are in the pipeline.
I had one unconscious witness during an escalation mission. I didn't really care. Who would believe him when he gave a testimony? "Yeah Santa Claus threw a homing briefcase at me!" The police would lock him up for insanity.
I mean, it's not far from a possibility if Blood Money is to be believed.. https://youtu.be/tE1p1JRE2e0?t=14m29s
I miss those headlines. Hitman 3 (2020) should have them.
Sorry for self-promo, really proud of this run tho. Can prob cut the time down a few seconds with some more practice. https://youtu.be/i6L78tSTadc
Started playing Columbia again because I didn't have any mastery in it because fuck me that map is daunting. Every time I've played a level in this game I've found like, entirely new areas that I have no genuine idea what they are for but clearly it's for something.
The new escalation was lame and easy. I wish we had more escalations like Paris or Hokkaido with real difficulty and fun.
The real difficulty of the latest escalation was trying to figure out where the boat or car keys were. Never used those exit options.
This Elusive target is balls. The random spawns are... fine? But even if he's in the right spot the game can just fuck you and not spawn things like... the wine he's drinking, or anything that makes SA possible.
i was really confused when i saw him take a drink from the wine, went away to go set shit up so nobody would see me poison it, and the wine had just...disappeared. when he went to the position to drink it, he just stared into space for a few seconds and went outside without doing anything.

Also I didn't get Silent Assassin for basically no reason in that ET so fuck it
i was discovered when i killed this ET and quickly Alt-F4'd and my god it actually worked, let me replay the mission again despite having killed the target infront of a guard who witnesssed it. and then i did it properly and got my SA rank
So I finally got to play a bit of H2. I loved season 1 and so far I'm pretty excited. The first level didn't allow many options but at least it looked gorgeous and that 47's sneaking suit looked sharp. So far I did one run of Miami and Colombia. I'm doing the story first before I start replaying the levels. I did get SA on all three but in Miami I had to improvise. If you play a lot of the season 1 you learn some tricks how to separate the target. Those kills are usually boring though. I'm looking forward to doing all those "prepared" options because they are pretty funny. Miami and Colombia were huge though, looking forward to exploring them more.
maybe i'm in the minority on this but i wish Contracts functioned more like a straight-up map maker. like you could replace guards with ones from different missions, place down items and disguises, change which areas are considered trespassing, let the player start with any disguise you want them to, stuff like that. like it's already a super cool mode and i get that they don't want people to just scum out the game, but the potential is just so huge for that kind of player-driven community.
