I wonder if one or the other attends church after one of the targets dies?
Just to confirm, I tried reloading a save. In game it looks like you've lost all your challenges. In the debriefing it won't acknowledge them (I received no exp). But in the main menu all challenges and opportunities are accounted for and you receive the exp. So yes you can reload and get them.

Alright so I got around the 24hz issue by creating a custom resolution. I'm now playing in glorious 1920x1079 resolution. Watch out PS4K!
Please fix this stupid issue. I finally remembered what game also had this issue: Crysis. Except Crytek never fixed it

This is strange. You on PS4? I reloaded on Sapienza a bunch of times earlier today and all my challenges showed up in the debriefing and I was awarded exp for them.
Man, it's gonna take some precision fuckery and coin throwing to get SA,SO for Sapienza. Especially having to get down into the
. Either method seems to rely on a lot of careful timing and luck to avoid being seen in the suit. I just finished my suit only run and it was pretty sloppy.

Just finished Silent Assassin, Suit Only. I left so many unnecessary people lying unconscious all over the place but I now know how to finish up almost all the other challenges. Had a dumb moment where I made a sink overflow to attract Francesca and then having a parade of guards come in after her. Came unstuck after the third guard and finally realised I should have just let one finish cleaning up before subduing him.
I think the laptop dongle route is the only realistic way of doing it suit only.

So it would seem, yeah. Even that is tricky though because you have to fucking book it at soon as you activate the laptop. I watched a video where he did the
plane escape
I'm starting to fear that there won't be a sniper briefcase in this game. And if that's the case, I'll be really fucking bummed out.

There's another, very safe way out when you just need to get to the laptop and get out.
Just running out of the cave?
Mastery 17 so far, 6 hours in Sapienza. Still feel like I haven't seen half of the level, haven't even found the prompts for several opportunities.

Yeah, I got out the same way, it was surprisingly easy. Thinking back, the only challenging bit was getting to Francesca since there are so many people between you and her and the guard doesn't leave her side. Best entrance for the lab is probably
the one beneath the pool. Guard regularly walks away and it leads to a point with only one guard and easy access to the laptop.

There is one way to get directly to the laptop with basically as close to zero risk of being seen as you can get, even in your suit.
It's easier to spot from inside the cave than outside, though.
Yes this is on PS4. The challenges and opportunities menus seem very bugged, but are still tracked and give EXP in the end which is what matters.
So far I've killed them
I STILL have so much of the level that I haven't done anything with. This level feels so much more complex than Paris.
with the exploding golf ball, the cannonball, meeting as the therapist, the golf teacher guy(though I flubbed my way into this) and a really cool kill with the VHS tape in the room using the plague doctor outfit

so is the mastery level tied into each location? I was at mastery level 15 in Paris but I ranked to level 7 on Sapienza.

Speaking of this, does anyone bother completing more challenges once they hit Level 20? I got Level 20 in Paris and still have some objectives but I'm kinda more into Sapienza right now.

I might be doing that if there weren't escalations to do every week. Plus you really need to be in the right mindset to sit down and do those vampire magician challenges.
Sapienza's might be more interesting to pursue in the long run, though. I spotted the chance to
drop a propane tank down a shaft
There's a third way to destroy the virus that is much easier and less effort than the other ones.
To the right of the virus containment chamber, halfway to the sea plane, there's a slightly elevated area with some crates. From there you can snipe a stalactite that is directly above the containment chamber, which will destroy the virus.
Generally the virus objective seems to just slow down otherwise nice playthroughs. I had a perfect sniper spot where I could kill both targets, but of course I then have to do a huge detour to the lab to actually finish the mission. Fun fact:
You can ring the dinner bell with a sniper bullet.

Yup. I wouldn't call it snappy but it's MUCH improved.

Destroying the Virus does put a damper on what could be some solid Silent Assassin runs and other whimsical ideals but I mean it is part of the storyline but tedious to say the least.

Adding extra objectives like the virus make the first playthrough a bit more interesting but man, it's boring to do over and over again on replays.
This level should've been the first level come the release.
More variety in areas, and just feels like you've got more room to move.
Now i'm starting to feel Hitman, and i'm liking it alot.
Felt so badass.

And there's only a Part 1,
for some reason my Ps4 capturing is wigging out, sometimes it'll record 20sec and others 15min.

Bingo.
Guess I need to post this again since there are some people who seem to have already forgotten after 2 page. Wow, how the mind slips!

Opening admitting to sexually assaulting someone(then banning anyone who called him out for it)
Posting revenge porn with their real full names then another admin(a now jailed pedophile) printed the photos and jacked off over them and sent it to the boyfriend.
You're right, how can we even know if he's guilty or not? HMMMM
Also:
I don't believe you do.
Skipping Paris means you skip what Paris unlocks through Mastery. 47's trademark gun is unlocked that way.

With the new patch I switched back to Direct3D 12 and its running like a dream on a 970, getting pretty consistent 60 fps (gSync) whereas before I was pretty much always in the 30-40 fps and dipping to mid 20s frequently. No crashes or audio issues, and so far I am able to choke people out without them mysteriously dying in the middle of a choke.
So patch is great success! Done about 80% of the challenges now, you can do a suit only no extra targets run in under 10 minutes and its actually pretty easy, just need to
but yeah in 5-10 hours I'll be 100% done with sapienza and now probably 2 month wait for the next level?

get the laptop dongle from the corpse in the morgue so you can destroy the virus with the laptop. caruso is easy to kill in the observatory using the tape, and you can climb up to the roof and walk across to the villa where francesa will be by herself 15-20 secs by the laptop.

The patch really did wonders for my 660. Can finally maintain a solid 60 on Sapienza when it ran terribly yesterday.

Probably wouldn't have figured that one out - thanks.
I mean, I feel like my current route is "fast enough" for now (
start at safehouse with breaching explosive, breach the walled-up passage, run to the mortuary and slip through the side door as the priest leaves, knock out the scientist for the laptop dongle, run back and use the dongle
Starting in the
coffin
sigh. I tried to load my savefiles twice this morning, but it just crashed about a second after loading both times. And loading into Hitman is fucking glacially slow between the unskippable intro vids and the fucking connecting to bullshit servers thing. ugh. not happy.
I mean, I know how to get my targets and shit now so I can probably do it so much faster, but I was having a lot of fun just exploring on my 'canon' run... meh.

Also, just spent 15 minutes sneaking around the back lawn trying to execute the perfect plan to
place the explosive golf ball without a disguise
And then, the trap wasn't triggered because he
didn't actually tee off
That said, did anyone notice the lights set in the ground around the lawn? If you're a game developer making a level only meant to be played in the daytime, you don't put in light fixtures that never turn on in the day.

we had pictures from the second sapienza mission a few pages ago, it takes place at night
that sounds so easy that it's a bit lame, is there any catch? will certainly try it
I still have fps issues in certain rooms, mostly in the villa.
no matter how much I turn down the settings I have serious fps drops there. from 120 to around 30. with the 980ti no idea what I could try next. maybe d12 instead of d11?

Is anyone else still having trouble setting the resolution since the latest patch? I'm trying to bump the game up to 1440p, which I was running at until their (second) most recent patch broke everything, but now I'm locked to 1080p. I can select it from the menu but the resolution doesn't actually change.
Having more FPS issues in Paris, too. Was locked at 60 throughout before that patch but now I'm getting little hitches here and there taking it down to the 40s/50s.
EDIT: Seems there's a bug causing the game to lock to 24hz if you have VSync on and run the game in 'Exclusive Fullscreen' (which is the actual fullscreen mode). Changing to 'Fullscreen' (which is actually windowed borderless) is the only way to keep Vsync & get up to 60fps, but this disables any DSR resolutions you have- which is why I'm unable to go higher than 1080p.

Is that actually coming out? I thought the second missions were scrapped when they decided to go episodic.
Finished the storymissions yesterday, took med about +2h, had a blast, the visuals are impressive, and the possibilities (almost) endless.
I think this is one of the best leves in the series, will play this alot and looking forward to the rest of the game.
I was not happy with the episodic format before the release, but i actually start thinking that it fits the game well!
Love it.
Sorry for my bad english =/

I really like this sensation where it kinda feels like the movie is actually about this villain dude and you're just playing the stuff that happens off-screen while he's going around doing shit
Anyway, the thing where the challenges are obscured is great! Minimal has just enough hints where I can try and piece stuff together to see how to do things. Fuck man Sapienza is the bomb, haven't even explored the fort yet. That biolab is going to be really irritating to do over and over again though.

i feel like sapienza, while great, has revealed the big issue with the episodic release strategy for me. while i walk around and see the depth of the world, and the options available to us, i feel distant doing so...almost disinterested. and i can only put it down to the fact we've had to wait over a month to get the new location.
it was a worry i had before but i started to warm to the idea and felt it made sense for hitman to be episodic, far more-so then cutting up a story into chunks like telltale games do, but now we have episode 2 i'm struggling to care enough to get invested again. if i could have played this immediately after Paris, i'd have been loving it. but that long wait, and playing other titles in between has killed my enthusiasm. my mind was in ratchet and clank mode and now it's prepping for uncharted and i'm not sure i have desire to play more of hitman.
basically what i'm saying, is for me, the game now feels like old news...even though the episode is new. maybe i should stop playing the episodes and wait for them all to be released so i can get into it as a full game? it seems like my only real option atm.
