Hitman 3 crashing repeatedly on main menu (Launched via xbox app.)

Davian Campos 75

The game crashes without a popup after I press which profile I'm playing the game under and it says "authenticating" and "fetching profile." Here is the crash information obtained via Event Viewer. Faulting application name: hitman3.exe, version: 3.170.1.0, time stamp: 0x6540f979 Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.22621.2506, time stamp: 0xbced4b82 Exception code: 0xc0000374 Fault offset: 0x000000000010c7a9 Faulting process id: 0x0x68DC Faulting application start time: 0x0x1DA638222094AB1 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\IOInteractiveAS.PC-HITMAN3-BaseGame_1.0.37.0_x64__6h0y724g59e1w\Retail\hitman3.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll Report Id: dcb5a2a2-4a34-459e-9ecb-c518fed2290f Faulting package full name: IOInteractiveAS.PC-HITMAN3-BaseGame_1.0.37.0_x64__6h0y724g59e1w Faulting package-relative application ID: Game

Same here. Was about to post my own until I came across yours. I have done everything; supplied new dll files, reinstalled, and even resetting this PC and reinstalled windows, which allowed for 3 hours of game time yesterday. Today, back to the same error.

Same issue here. I tried updating nVidia and Chipset drivers, disabling all other running applications, and also wiping my computer and starting from scratch, and same error. I am running Windows 11 Pro with all updates. Here is the error in Event Viewer:

Mine too, weird thing is, it runs fine if I sign in with a different account, but my main account has yet to work, even after trying the countless fixes a billion times. Just gonna wait and hope I don't miss killing Sean Bean.

UPDATE:

Found a temporary fix that really only puts a bandaid on the issue, considering that it only allows me to play levels for a little bit before they crash.

Go to %localappdata%\Io Interactive\HITMAN3

Remove both PipelineCache.bin and PipelineLibrary.bin files.

Launch the game with NO adaptive supersampling. No FSR No DLSS no Intel NOTHING. Not a permanent fix but it might allow you a bit of gametime.

Make sure report this issue using the Feedback Hub app. Update Windows and the Game and Xbox app too.
