Ah,okay. I've been playing MGO3, Nidhogg and Bloodborne in the interim without any issues. My internet is pretty good (as far as I'm aware).
I think its the former. Could be wrong.

From what i've seen, PS4 seems to be the version with the most connectivity issues for whatever reason. I'm on PC and for me it has been pretty smooth apart from the launch hours. Never got disconnected since. I know of a few people on PC that have issue from time to time, but it's not "each 10 minutes" frequent.

Ah, that's interesting. Cheers.
yeah and the load times seem to be worse for ps4-ers. Like, significantly so. Paris takes a while for me to load and that's... what, 10-12 seconds?
of course, I can't framerate lock on PC... I'd like to, because it hangs every once in a while and I'd like to see if that does anything. At least I don't think I can.

I have it on PS4 and it's been ages since I got a disconnect. I had problems on the first couple of days but since then I have no server issues. I live in Brazil though, I don't know if it makes a difference.
Yeh you're completely right, I was going to be like "I've not had any issues for the past few days anyway" but then proceeded to get disconnected and can't reconnect anymore!

Yeah, PS4 takes an age. To be honest, that doesn't really bother me.
Are "hangs" where its catching up with itself by going 'Benny Hill'? That happens offline on PS4 too.
To be fair, that "ten minutes" is a shit load better than pre-patch. That was more like every three!
I'm in the UK. Anyone else on PS4 and in Europe that are still being regularly booted?
yeah it's very irritating but thankfully i don't play action orientated or it'd be more of a problem. Hopefully it doesn't happen too much when the elusives show up.
So I was trying to download Until Dawn and AAC whilst trying to go online on Hitman, paused both and can get online completely fine now. I've never had this issue with other games, crazy that Hitman requires so much data that downloading games messes up the connection, very poor.

Regarding that last one make sure you don't reload a save it wont check off if you do.

Not even that's guaranteed to work. I've tried it at least 3 times now without saving at all in the level and it hasn't unlocked.

Start in the attic, and look at the map. See how the top floor is like a square with two prongs jutting out from it, and you're in one of them? The outfit is in the other one.

Does this mean we're going to get a Dark Zone? :3c

holy cow dude... i would've thought they had this sorted out by now.
Server issues aren't the only problem. In-game accomplishments don't seem to properly work, still. Imagine doing an Elusive Target and getting no credit for it.
In many ways, everything they've linked to this online infrastructure has become a case of Murphy's Law.
Holy cow.. is this just bound to console? So far i've had no issues on PC. But i have not done an elusive target, and i have been getting achievements from what i can tell. Been doing escalation missions.
So will you be able to do these kind of online components offline?
LOL NO. The game is a fucking paperweight without an internet connection.
If there any updates on the condition of the servers then for people having issues?
"We're working on it" is the answer of the week. They're even working on bringing back the preorder items, which were removed from players as on Monday..

This is so strange. Hopefully they take the feedback and change the online stuff soon. Why couldn't it just all save locally then upload to the servers whenever the game is able to connect? I wonder if this is a IO problem or a Square Enix problem.

At the pace that things are going, I would guess approval needs to come down directly from Square Enix before anything can be changed regarding online requirements.
There will probably be days or weeks of collecting data and reports and holding meetings before work can even start on taking game modes offline.
Unfortunately I think some users need to be the "sacrifices" to provide the proof that the disruptions are big enough to warrant changes. They need to justify the value in diverting manpower away from creating content.

Playing over 20 hours and have not been booted once on pc.
It really just appears to be a matter of luck. I played for 3 hours yesterday on Xbox One and didn't have a single problem. A day before I got booted every 5 min. The days before I was only booted once or twice overall.
Probably Square-Enix. They have wanted Hitman to be a persistent online IP since 2013.
oh yea.. i saw that. Has this been plaguing a lot of people so far? It would be terrible to see the game not do well because of their shitty DRM practices. Its a fantastic game.

you know how to talk to me.
Dude.. i really hope they fix this shit for you. I need more people to talk to about this game.
same here. tho i have way less time. 7 hrs. But i am chipping away at it. Super excited for the next chapter in that amazing looking Villa. Sapiensa.

Yeah, man. I'd like to be able to play it! This is one of my personal Holy Trinity of game series, so I'm bitterly disappointed.

If it doesn't unlock in one try, just do level 5 again and it should show up.

My brother is having a similar issue. My connection seems fine but his (like 5 miles away from where I live) is awful. He can't play more than 5 minutes before getting disconnected from Hitman. No other issues with any other games, I've gone over and debugged everything. So random.

maybe is a provider specific issue?it happens sometimes,although i don't know if it can be software specific other than hardware specific

it's just the good old "challenges are not recognized" bug, I did the first one twice and it worked, the second one (the annoying one with the palace stuff outfit) did not.
funny thing is, I even got it checked in the menu when I looked it up on the score screen, but I did not get the mission mastery xp, then I left the menu, checked again and it's no longer checked, great
I hope they fix that at least with the second episode
You are missing out.
So any time you log in its booting you out? could it be your router? is it a problem from the servers on console? are there other people with this same issue?
What if you get kicked from shitty servers? Does that count as a fail?
Same issue here. No other game gives me issue. Can never finish Paris. Kicked randomly sometimes 2 minutes in others 10 minutes or more it sucks. Pretty much done with game at this point. Sad because it's so good.
I mean, it doesn't have to be clean. It just has to be done. I had bodies found or crimes noticed for pretty much every level of the escalation.
I've also never been disconnected, 15 hours in here.

I'll get up to about ten minutes and get disconnected. I've managed to complete three different runs on the freeform mission (online) in about 13 hours of playtime. In the meantime, I've played MGO3, Nidhogg and Bloodborne without any notable problems.
I believe my internet is pretty good and I rarely suffer from any kind of disconnects (unless it's server side), let alone multiple ones in the space of half an hour.
Check out their Twitter and forums to see how extensive this is. Hell, these all popped up in the last page or so:
Here's the rub:
I've been waiting for this 'return to form' for years and, now it's finally here, I can't enjoy it properly. Every time I try going online I'm spending more time worrying about getting disconnected than enjoying the level. It's really tainted my experience.

Unbelieveably, I'm more interested in Salt and Sanctuary at the moment. If you said that to me a couple of weeks ago I would've laughed in your face and stomped on your tenders.
Plus you can just take their outfit when you're done which makes the escape part easy.

I must be lucky almost never getting booted on PS4 after 20 hours. Square need to get their shit together so Meat can play.
