Having trouble getting your Hitman progress to carry over? You’re not alone – this has been a frustrating issue for many players trying to transfer their hard-earned progress to Hitman 3. Let’s break down what’s happening and what you can do about it.
Understanding the Hitman 3 Carryover Issue
The carryover website (profile.hitman.com) was specifically created to let players transfer their progress from previous Hitman games into Hitman 3. However, since launch, many players have encountered various errors and connection issues when trying to use this service.
Common Problems Players Are Facing
– Website timing out or showing blank pages
– “Connection failed” error messages
– Progress transfer getting stuck at various percentages
– Website crashing mid-transfer
– Authentication errors when trying to log in
Why This Is Happening
The main culprit here is server load. When Hitman 3 launched, countless players tried accessing the carryover site simultaneously, effectively creating a digital traffic jam. While IO Interactive has worked to improve the situation, these issues can still pop up during peak times or after game updates.
What You Can Do About It
Here are some tried-and-true solutions that have worked for many players:
1. Try during off-peak hours – early morning or late night tends to have better success rates
2. Clear your browser cache and cookies before attempting the transfer
3. Use a different browser (Chrome tends to work best)
4. Make sure you’re logged into the correct IO account that contains your progress
5. Double-check that all your accounts (Steam, Epic, PlayStation, etc.) are properly linked
Important Tips to Remember
Before you start the transfer process, keep in mind that this is a one-time deal – you can’t redo it once it’s complete. Also, if you’ve already started playing Hitman 3, the transfer will wipe any progress you’ve made, so it’s best to do this before diving into the new game.
When All Else Fails
If you’re still having trouble, reaching out to IO Interactive’s support team might be your best bet. They’ve been pretty responsive to these issues and can often help resolve account-specific problems that might be blocking your transfer.
Remember, while this is frustrating, it’s better to be patient and get your transfer done right than to rush and potentially lose your progress. The good news is that once the transfer is complete, you’ll have all your previous unlocks and achievements ready to go in Hitman 3.
