Hitman 3 is a more than satisfying conclusion to IO Interactive’s World of Assassin trilogy, if our Shacknews review is any indication. Until then, you may want to consider holding off on starting your adventure in Hitman 3. IO Interactive is encouraging players to stay tuned to its Twitter account for more information on the situation, rather than constantly refreshing the website itself. Until then, you won’t be able to send your progress from the first two games over to Hitman 3. It seems as though this traffic may have led to the site crashing, which the developer is working to get up and running as soon as possible. With such a high volume of players jumping into Hitman 3 as it became available today, many flocked to IOI’s website looking to activate progression carryover for their accounts. We want it back up and running just as much as you do. Please press F5 on Twitter instead of our site. We'll tell you when it's fully operational again. We're hard at work on getting IOI Account back online to enable progression carryover.

“We're hard at work on getting IOI Account back online to enable progression carryover. This news comes directly from the developers, as IO Interactive tweeted about the matter this morning. However, IOI’s website is currently down, stopping players from carrying their progress over to the new game. Allowing players to bring over their progress and items from the previous two games, Hitman 3 delivers more ways to play than ever before. The third installment in the rebooted Hitman series, Hitman 3 is the most ambitious yet. The developer has promised to let players know via their Twitter account when the site is fully operational again.Hitman 3 has launched worldwide, bringing about the conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy. Although IO hasn’t acknowledged this issue, this is also likely to be due to excessive demand.

It might not be for sale yet, or it might no longer be for sale”. Instead, I’m getting an error message stating “the item you’re looking for is unavailable.

I’ve also been unable to import any content from Hitman 2 Gold Edition as the Access Passes seem to be missing. Some players have been able to import content from the standard edition of Hitman 2, but cannot import Hitman. Importing missions from Hitman and Hitman 2 is also not working properly. Thanks for sticking with us and we get everything running smooth.”
#Hitman 3 carry over update#
They finished their update with a message to players that they’re “doing everything we can and reading all your comments while we work. IO has said they’re escalating the issue where players are not receiving those e-mails. People trying to sign up for an IOI account are also being met with the failed notification, as are those trying to reset their passwords. The developer will then process the request themselves, but this means being placed in a queue with no idea of how long it will take. Some players are able to complete the process but are then told it has failed. The latest update from IO Interactive states they’re “ processing thousands of players and getting more of you playing“.

This has left many unable to even start the game because the IOI account sign in process is overwhelmed and won’t work. Progression carryover will then overwrite any progress already made in Hitman 3. They need to sign in to their IOI account, or set one up, on the progression carryover website to start the process. Transferring previous progress from Hitman 2 allows players to carry over their player profile, XP rank, location mastery levels, location mastery unlocks, challenge progress, challenge unlocks, Elusive Target suits/unlocks, and trophy progress. The good news is the developer is hard at work on a fix. Access Passes are also not working properly. This means they can’t transfer their progress from Hitman 2. Because of excessive demand, players are unable to log in to their IOI accounts, or sign up for a new one. The problem is developer IO Interactive seems to have underestimated just how popular it was going to be. As the first AAA release of the year, there’s no doubt Hitman 3 was going to be popular.
