Game crash completely after loading Save- or autosave Game???

[Fire_breath]

Best Dev. team,

since couple of days im playing hitman2 again and Im by the last mission The Last Ark Society. I saved my game with different saves and when i load my save game or even an auto save game then the game loads and when the world is loaded, the game shut itself immediately down to my desktop. I restarted the mission and again i have this same kind of problem over again.

Sometimes even when i just play the game, suddenly it crashes. Before i never had this kind of problem. I read in the discussions that it might have to do something with a hotfix?

To be honest, i dont know what it causes but i do know its very annoying. Please can you fix this issue asap?

Some one else have this problem as well or do you guys have a solution for me?

Comments or suggestions appreciated ;)

Regards Kuifie

Are you running a 2080Ti by any chance or any other new Nvidia card?

You're welcome. The thread I linked is just for further info, there are others too. We cannot fix this CTD issue, sadly isn't in our hands. NVIDIA and IOI must take care of all these reports and givae us a fix asap. Sadly, both are still silent on this.

I have the problem too, helped me, which unfortunately is not a real solution, but it helps, save only very rarely. This error occurs when saving frequently.

If I saved normally (about every 2 minutes) I could never play for more than 2 hours, now that I only save every 20min and autosave off, I no longer had crashes and no destroyed savegames.

Graphics settings or graphics drivers unfortunately does not change at all.

It might be a save problem, but also sometimes having too much interactions with NPCs (KOing/Subduing too much people) will make the game more instable and loding save will crash it :/

Epic47Sides, good point and can be the cause, but strange enough it happens to me only by the level of Ark Society, Isle of Sgaile. With all other levels I dont have this problem at all even with saves on regularly frequency. Seems the last level is buggy somehow :(

It happened to me on Mumbai, and i figured that was because of too much NPCs being taken down (somehow they limited their engine compared to 2016 where you could take down 50-200 people easily without any crash).

Another time it was because i've KOed a NPC with some dialog trigger, which he couldn't trigger anymore since he was KO (which made the game crash).

I think you should check what you did on your Sgail saves and see if it's NPC related or something else.

It could also be just a simple item (gun, object) that makes the whole save corrupted.
Could also be somehow related to the Constant...

Game is so unstable it's a real lottery to figure the issue ^^'

I know it sucks but we can't do anything but wait for a fix :/

Really annoying indeed and never thought of it that when you take down too much NPC's it causes this kind of game crashes.

Actually 4 days ago when i played Isle of Sgail, I took only a security gard disquise and then the elite guard. I think it has to do something with that Constant what you mentioned, cause i was playing for the feature or challenge that you must kill the twins AFTER Constant was escaped.
I subdued him and then a NPC found him and then a guard wake him up. That triggers the escape. Then you have 5 min to kill both targets. At that point 1 killed 1 of them and my game crashed. I couldn't load it anymore.
I did do multiple saves actually and the last one was just about before i subdued the bloody Constant :P

I will try it again to start the damn mission again with minimum saves as possible; max 3
Some people gave also advise that it could be how often you save. ( normally i save after some actions or every 5 min. ) I disabled autosave though since the bug/ error is active.
You're right it sucks very hard and better that IOI and NVIDIA fix this issue, 'till then we must wait :/

Did you report the issue to Nvidia?

It's not NVIDIA the problem ffs!

The game is completely unstable atm.
Go buy HITMAN 2016 GOTY, you'll encounter less problems.

Seems like its not nvidia problem, and yes there seems a connection between interactions & playtime & repeated CTD

And possibly with number of saves too, as savign more often after the first (even if loading an older save of same map), that seems to accellerate it

Happened on mulitple maps now, freedom fighters and columbia mission in particular, and is fustrating as hell

I cant play any map the way i want, where i spend the time really exploring and completing as many challenges in one playthrough (with savepoints before target kills) as possible

Its been months, i posted about this same issue when i just had legacy, tried all nvidia fixes and got nowhere, and see it come up here again in new maps too

Yeah, it seems a game bug. IOI must release a Hotfix.
