Actually it would be like building an entire new backend service for the game, that's a huge task

And for what? It's a mode meant to share contracts from other people, how exactly are you going to get contracts from other people while offline?

What you are asking would be a massive amount of work to accomplish precisely nothing

And it's far more work to even attempt what you are asking compared to actually fixing the servers since they are only down due to the GDPR law changes, they litterally just need to add a privacy opt out feature and a new EULA splash screen

If Square isn't willing to do the minimal work involved to get the servers up to the legal requirements so they can be turned back on, you actually think they will go through the huge effort of building an entire new service that won't even function for it's intended purpose?

I don't think you understand what contracts mode was, nor the amount of work you are asking to be done just to get a mode working offline that was never designed to be used offline

I doubt you've thoguht this through to any valid degree

Care, don't care, you are yellling at the wrong person.

I'm simply tellimg you what's going on. You are asking a company to do a very large amount of work when the reason you can't play is they are avoiding a very small amount of work.

Which do you think is more likely?

1. They do the large amount of work required to create an offline mode

2. They do the tiny amount of work required to update their privacy policy and fix the servers

3. They do no work and leave things as it is

If you even want them to hear you I suggest contacting Square, they haven't made a post in these forums in 6 years.

If they had added in Steam Workshop support to begin with instead of the way they did it we wouldn't be having this thread. Hindsight is always there for those times forward thinking wasn't employed.

they dont work in offline because, the contracts themselves, need to be downloaded. just use the new alternate servers if its not working properly, or has errors. worked for me.
can you give a link where i can download them?

He's a troll, absolutions servers are still shut down

The only Hitman contracts modes available are in the two newer games

again, because i have found a way around some issues with servers, i am a troll? how interesting. run along kid.
so can you give link to solve this issue?

There is no solution, the servers are down, you can't "find a way around" this issue.
With the servers down, contracts are not hosted and thus not downloadable.

The guy saying he figured out a workaround is trolling.

There was a rumor that WB is preparing re-release Hitman Absolution and Blood Money for the new consoles. Its possible that the Absolution contracts mode will work on the new servers from WB, but most likely without Adam Jensen because the rights for DeusEx belong to SE.
