And IO has jumped into the early lead of dev mistakes for the year 2021...
https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-3-pre-launch-guide/
So even though your items that you unlocked in Hitman 2 will carry over, you have to buy the levels again.
Batten down the hatchs! Thar be a shitstorm brewing!
Fortunately, Epic allows you to refund preorders. They just lost a direct sale here (because I'll be honest, I'm still buying the damn game); I'm moving my purchase to GMG where I get a discount, and they lose a cut of the sale.
Not really out of their control, they chose to be epic exclusive. Surely they knew this could cause some issues...
Looks like my guess was right. Something to do with Epic/Valve? I can't see either of them owning the rights to Hitman 2 though. I would've assumed it would be between IOI's previous publisher.
It has nothing to do with 'rights' to the previous games. its similar if you played 1 and 2 on xbox and buy hitman 3 on playstation, its not gunna work.
But seems like they could validate with your IOI account? of course all of this coulda all been easily avoided
The difficulty appears to stem from the process Hitman 3 uses to determine who is eligible for free Access Passes, which involves detecting what Hitman 2 content you have installed and then making the corresponding pass available for free. The absence of the game on the Epic Store means that process isn't possible, so Hitman 3 players who want access to Hitman 2 content will have to buy the Access Pass separately.
Same here, I already cancelled my Epic pre-order, but did end up buying again on GMG with the sale and promotion, might cancel that though and wait for Steam release. Slightly irritated you only get to transfer once per platform and I was willing to buy the game twice.The IOI account idea is simple and should be implemented post haste.
I must say this is not a level of fuckery I'm used to seeing from IOI. The Epic exclusive fad chills my ass in general but this nonsense too is just enough that even I am starting to consider bailing and as big of a Hitman fanboy as I am... that sucks. If I have to wait a year to get this done the way it should have been done in the first place I guess I'll have to consider it.
Can this be fixed at all even post release? It's obvious IOI is not living in a bubble and is well aware of the discontent on these issues.

On PC, we are continuing to work on a solution with our partners to allow PC players who own HITMAN 1 or HITMAN 2 to import locations from those games into HITMAN 3 at no
additional cost.
We can guarantee that players will NOT need to repurchase the games.
Until we roll that out in the coming weeks, the HITMAN 1 GOTY Access Pass will be free to own for all PC players who pre-purchase or purchase HITMAN 3 in the first 10 days after release.
Looks like this is going to get made right:

ACG Hitman 3 Review
What resolution, though?The carryover site has been swamped for the last 2.5 hours I been trying to connect my accounts. No luck so far.
Decided to run the benchmark while I wait for the site to work... on Darthmoor I got 95.5 FPS with max settings on a 3090. Using an old driver and my GPU with a slight undervolt/underclock, about .5% below stock in most scenarios, looks like they made the world completely destructable including pillars, shelves, maybe walls. Did have some stutter in the heavy physics sections but it could be because I'm on an old driver.
4K, can't believe I didn't mention that lolWhat resolution, though?
Raytracing isn't in the game yet, it should be added later this year. Hopefully they add DLSS as well because otherwise I don't see raytracing as viable with this generation of cards at 4K.So does the Mr. CLEAN BALD HEAD sorry caps use raytracing reflections?
Yea I think it is pretty stupid, it is more of a confirmation you want to import your data from Hitman 2... this could have been done a better way with a save file or something. But for whatever reason they like to make everything online.I'm not sure I understand what the carryover is even for? Your account on IOI should have all of your player data, and you are essentially logging into Hitman 3 with that same account?
I think I was wrong earlier, I think it only partially transfers initially. If I check the status it still says pending on the website. This is waht it looks like, so I believe I will eventually get everything, it's just not completed yet.That sucks
I had a feeling this whole transfer your progress and unlocks system was going to be a shitshow but I hope they get it fixed ASAP

Late response but here is what I did. If I remember correctly.I was confused with something. You log in with your steam account first... it recognizes all that, shows you what's coming... then you get to a screen where it wants you to log in to where it's going (Epic.) it says you need to log out...then refresh the screen, and then log in. Does that sound right or is there some "trick" to this? I think I was doing it right on my end but not 100 percent sure.
