npc see through walls

[youssefj]

seriously it's very annoying , when enemies are chasing me , and i use instinct, i can see them aiming straight at me even though they aren't supposed to be able to see me , and sometimes i get compromised when i shoot someone with the silenced pistol and there is no one that can see me

[Thiago Dantas]

Maybe they were using instinct too. XD
It happens to me as well

Yeah, specificly in the Japan level this has happened when not in combat. Stranegly, it's only been happening recently after 60+ hours of play. A NPC will see through the floor above me and give me the "body spotted" prompt. There's no reasojn why they'd see a body. The only other bodies are two in the hospital 1st floor bathroom, which I'm pretty sure are not the ones they find since they go straight for me and there's no other NPCs who wander into that bathroom. Another NPC saw through a closed door a body on the ground in the loading bay.

it's kind of annoying because it breaks the game completely, especially when I'm trying to do missions with a single life without saving.

If it's happening on Hokkaido, are you sure it's not legitimate LOS?

A lot of the walls on Hokkaido, such as the public areas, are made of glass, and the NPCs above/below can spot you pretty easily. They like to stand near the walls and look out of them.

Yeah I know, I've been spotted a lot that way too.

I was in the loading bay, and the person was on the floor above me (I think in the spa), so there's no way they could see me (no windows in the ceiling/floor). And like I said, I'm almost certain the door in the hall to the laundry roiom was closed (and it has no windows, it's a paper wall), and I'm pretty sure those NPCs never wander out of that area (the only one who opens the door is the yoga instructor who I'm pretty sure I already took care of)

youssefj: For the chasing thing, I think the NPCs search in your general area as a game thing to make it more difficult, even though strictly it doesn't make sense, but makes it so you have to keep moving (otherwise if they just split off it'd be way to east ro avoid them, especially in larger areas like Italy)

This glitch still happens, perticularly though doors when I do silent takedowns if there's someone on the other side they will sometimes see it. This makes the professional difficulty practicly unplayable.

It feels like maybe the door state acts as if it's "open" for a few seconds maybe after closing, so you have to wait after the door closes to do silent attacks? I'm not sure, but it's realyl annoying.

yup same thing happens to me, yesterday a body got spotted just after i was finished putting it in a box, crime noticed popped up :/

This is still happening, making ellusive targets literally unplayable. Happened in the garage in Morocco for "gunrunners" I hit a guy around a corner and someone somehow sees it. IO I love this game, but please fix this, or I'm going to unfairly miss this elusive target!
