LOL. Stay calm and proceed in an orderly fashion! Hope your mileage is better than mine...
My experience has not been too stellar to be honest. Launched last night, ran through the 1st training mission fine (the 2 training missions are identical to what we saw in the Beta). Wanted to have a quick look at the Paris environment before I shut down only to discover that I do not own it?!
Figured that there was maybe an update that still needed to apply but nothing on Steam downloads at all. I have Hitman - Paris listed in my DLCs on Steam page, but it's marked as "Not Installed".
Tried again this morning. Tried loading my save from last night only for it to reach 75% and freeze. Entire PC froze so forced a hard reset. Now verifying local files to see if it'll pick up the missing content.

Wow dude that sucks sorry man! PS4 is fantastic! That's one thing I love about console, it just works...

Yeah, I hear you. As much as I love my PC and gaming on it, the frequency that we get issues with new releases is really frustrating.
Verifying my files found my missing content. A 2GB download running now. Glancing through the Steam reviews while waiting for it to finish I see mine is not a unique experience. Lots of neg reviews mentioning loading issues, freezes, poor frame rates, etc. Which is all a bit weird considering there was very little evidence of them during the beta weekend.
Think I'm going to wait until they release a patch to sort out the issues a little more. Going back to The Division in the meantime.

That's a real pity... I must say they do seem to have focused particularly on the PS4, there are even extra missions on the PS4 like the Sarajevo six, but the over all experience is nothing but flawless... Im absolutely loving this game...

I will be picking this up when the retail version launches next year.

The poor frame rates thing is utter shit, the game is beautifully optimized, it runs maxed out @1440P at around 80fps avg.
I did have 2 crashes that were Nvidia driver issues (Yes these twats still can't release a proper driver). Overall I think the game is brilliant. Steam is full of players with onboard graphics or GT720's and they somehow expect to get decent framerates from that.

Thanks for sparking the thought Joker. I think that may be the source of my problem.
Like I said, the Hitman beta ran beautifully for me and the only thing that's changed since then is I installed the nVidia driver released with The Division launch. I didn't experience any of the reported issues that others had with it in the Division, so didn't give it a second thought. Will try some lower settings and see if that makes a diff, else maybe rollback the driver.

Yip there is a huge problem with the last beta and last 2 certified drivers. Just run 362.

Had the EXACT same problem...found I dont "own" the paris DLC, even though I have the full experience. Also had to verify game files before it downloaded (paris "dlc" was ticked but not installed according to steam). Fine now, and having a total blast with it!

This game is absolutely mind blowing! Im probably over 10 hours into it already, and still not done with everything! If each new content release is like the Paris map, this is going to be HOURS of game play...
[MENTION=4071]BeoTeK[/MENTION] the lighting is fantastic, and the water physics are amazing! The only thing i have seen in game thats not fantastic, is alcohol in a bottle... otherwise the textures and the attention to detail is incredible...

Depends on the disguise at the time, if he is dressed as himself or just a civ(chef/waiter ect) it'll immediately make him suspicious and have him arrested or chased down by guards.
I've replayed the Paris mission twice, and I plan on doing it a 3rd time. There are so many possible scenarios that I can see myself doing the mission 4 or 5 times.

Do you not think or feel the environment will get repetitive? Although you're doing different things, you're still in the same world, again and again...

If you're disguised as a guy that could or should have a gun on his back then you wont get picked up, but it also happens with a few other things, anything thats to big to conceal naturally the AI will pick up on if you shouldnt be "moving" or carrying it...
PS4 is perfect... I have not had one issue... No drop in frame rates, no manu glitches, nothing...
Iv completed the Paris mission about 4 times now i think... Then i went back to the beginning and started going through the challenges and assassinations and feats... Iv played the first map (it has 13 challenges) probably 7 or 8 times including the BETA, and the second training mission iv also played plenty times... The replay value is insane... You need to experience it to see what its like... Even though its the same map, when you do the different "opportunities" it turns it into a completely different experience because it takes you to places on the map you couldn't otherwise go...

Yes they can wake up, But i think its mainly from an unauthorized kill point of view, If you snap their neck you kill them and get penalized when going for top scores etc for every unauthorized kill...
