CONNECTING

[Aetherius]

Connecting to the HITMAN server. Please wait.

Yep, about every 10 minutes, interrupts everything

[Klauth]

Me too, never had that before in H1/H2, surely not as many times in 500+ hours as I've had in a couple of days !

[ᚺᛟᚾᛊᛁᛖᚷ]

Yes, that is annoying... So far for me it has always recovered without crashing the mission but it breaks immersion, can interrupt fine tuned actions where timing matters and also it is a constant reminder of the always online nonsense and all the trouble it could cause in the future.

It is actually the only thing I dislike about H3 - other than that, new locations are IMO great and the optimized trilogy taking less than 70GB on disk is nice too.

Its IOI and the punishment of players.
I got no problem in the prevouse games but in H3 I have forced pause in every mission several times.
I realy want to play the game more but this is so annoying that I play other games and hope this problem get fixed.
Why is a permanent internet connection needed? isn't it enough to submit the profile and mastery after a mission?

It is realy the punishment for legaly buy the game

I think the strict "each minute on" internet connectivity was mostly here for anti-cheat purposes, but if we have just glance of the leaderboards, we all know how effective this is ...
They should indeed relax this a lot or increase the numbers of cloud systems to handle those , in order to avoid constant timeouts.

It is a singleplayer game if someone needs to cheat than go for it.
Most players don't want to loose there experience of playing the game, I mean why should I cheat if this mean no more reason to play?
I think it's more because of pirating, but this also don't work. In consequence, we the not cheating legal buyers of the game get punished for being honest.

Your mentioning something people mentioned with the original 2016. They haven’t changed there stance since, funny they claim their servers are fine meanwhile we have threads like this.

[lucifertdark]

It's about time they scrapped the always online nonsense & allowed the game to work completely offline.

It depends on Server connection, it is possible to start the game "online", but in the missions you got a lot of "connecting" masseges while the game stops and all you can do is wait, mostly a few seconds sometimes a few minutes. So the Servers are online but it don't run smooth cause of the permanent connection.

Basically an sp game that needs a constant connection to complete challenges needed for progression.

right you need the permanent connection for progression
it would be enough to submit the progress after a mission in the debriefing
there is no meaningful explanation for the permanent connection

[Bankai9212]

Yup, but other then is no one calls them out for it. Just like gog situation with 2016.

[Demian DeVile]

In the past it was not nice but it works
in H1 and H2 you don't had any disruptions in the mission this is a problem I just have in H3

[YellowJello]

I'm seeing lots of complaints about this, and I do get that pop up periodically, but it's literally only up for a second and then I can continue. Is it happening for a longer period of time for you guys? I've hardly noticed it.

[Bankai9212]

The complaint is that and why it’s even there at this point. The of progression wasn’t gated behind online it wouldn’t be an issue. Heck maybe contracts could work better overall.
