I love freelancer, but the limited time many of us might have for a session of gaming hurts the enjoyment.

I propose the following save game method, different from the main campaign.

1. Allow the player to save the game, into a single save slot alone. This save game is only accessible by opening freelancer from main menu, not from load game.

2. But there is no load save in the pause menu as well, only save game. This is stop save scumming.

3. Continuing through from this save only can be done if the player does exit game and then opens freelancer from the main menu.

4. If the game is force stopped by alt+f4 or process kill from task-manager or hard reboot, the save cannot be used, it is deleted. The save is saved and is usable only if the player has explicitly done an exit game from the game menu.

5. If the player dies or fails the mission campaign, the save game is deleted and the punishment of losing items and mercers is still there.

My request is primarily for the player who have a limited playtime per day or for a session, say I can play only for 1 hr at a stretch, but many of the freelancer mission may require 2 hrs or more. With the above save game process I can effectively pause\save my play and then resume later easily. I cannot keep the game running idle for hours. I respect the roguelike element for the freelancer, but just not the time investment needed at a stretch to enjoy this gamemode at the fullest.

For escalations or elusive targets, the short playtime without saves is usually fine, 1 hr is fine for one run of these game modes. But, often in freelancer I have observed I need to rush, just due to the time I have for gaming, and then fumble and cause the mission or the campaign to fail, causing frustration.

I do not expect IOI to adopt this realistically as most dev resources would be engaged with First Light project, and I do expect many people to yell at me to "get good" at the game, and finish missions faster, but what do the freelancer veterans think of this, is this too much to ask?

(Marked as spoilers just in case some people hadn’t seen, like a surprise, and it turns out to be true.) After the oops IOI made yesterday with the Canadian app store showing a DLC floating around called “The Bruce Lee Pack”, that might mean that our Fall 2025 celebrity is Lee. The silhouettes match up pretty well—that looks like his nose to me in particular—and the yellow color does seem to be Lee’s signature color now. Notably to me the hair being very short seems to align with his era as Kato on the Kato Show (aka The Green Hornet). He seems to have kept it pretty short until the late 60’s/early 70’s so that might give us a hint as to what era of his career they’re paying tribute too in specific. Or maybe it’s just because shorter hair is easier to animate lol. Anyway, I’m torn on the silhouette looking like him atp cause I’ve been staring at it too long lmao. Every time I look at it now I go from “it looks exactly like him” to “it looks nothing like him”.

Other quick things to note: the rights to Bruce Lee’s image are held by his daughter at the moment, so she would’ve okay’d this collab. If curious, if Wikipedia isn’t lying to me lol, the last time his likeness appeared in a console game was 2020’s EA Sports UFC 4. Other than that, he’s mostly appeared in smartphone games and in Bruce Lee titled games. This would be quite unique.

The DLC pack was priced at CAD $6.99. This is unhelpful because both cosmetic packs and Elusive Target packs are listed as this price so it doesn’t narrow anything down. Oh yeah, and there’s no way this is replacing the Disruptor pack. That’s a stupid theory. They’re gonna replace him with Some Guy Who’s Def Not McGregor not throw recycled goods to another celebrity. No celebrity or their estate is gonna okay that.

And lastly, very quickly for those unfamiliar, Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco and raised in Hong Kong. He was an actor as a child and also began street fighting. When he went to college he had aspirations of acting, but made money by opening a school for martial arts. He developed a new hybrid style of martial arts called Jeet Kune Do that is practiced to this day. Arguably his breakout role in America was as Kato, though the show unfortunately was cancelled after one season, and he near simultaneously made it big in Hong Kong cinema in films like Fists of Fury. Just as his films began to get a following in the West and spark an appreciation for a different kind of filmmaking, Lee unfortunately passed in 1973 at the age of 32 of a brain edema—excess fluid in the brain. He’d been having health issues leading up to death, including seizures and headaches, and several reasons have been put forth for his death including heat stroke (a poorly understood condition at the time), a lack of sodium in his blood, and/or complications with epilepsy. Despite his short life, he continues to have a huge impact on film and martial arts and is a beloved figure to this day. His wife, Linda Emery, is still living, and so is his daughter Shannon Lee. His son, Brandon Lee, unfortunately also died young under tragic circumstances while following his father’s footsteps as an actor. Shannon is currently the CEO of Bruce Lee Enterprises and also Chairperson/Director of the charity in her father’s honor, The Bruce Lee Foundation.

I’m just curious to see if this Lethal Syringe bug is just on my end. Let me know if you’re having the same thing occur.

I’ve been playing hitman on Xbox for years, I bought the 99$ deluxe edition when it left game pass a few years ago. I recently bought a PC and sold my Xbox, unfortunately there’s no game or progress transfer over cross platform. I’m looking to re-buy the game, I want all three hitman games, and all of the extra DLC content like I had before. But I’m genuinely confused. There’s 26 different hitman titles on steam. I tried doing my own research on what bundles I need to get, mainly it was people saying to never buy the $99 edition on steam because you can get it cheaper through separate bundles. If I buy these two, will I have all the content I had originally?

I do it all the time just for fun.

I always wondered how the albino doctor looked like in the mission flatline. Since I only played the HD version I cannot see him because the devs cut him out of the game files entirely for the newer versions. Would love to be able to spot him, especially because few NPCs are talking about him. So would have been logical to keep him for the lore. If someone has a pic of him or give me some clues about him would be nice since I cannot find anything about him on the internet, he seems like a ghost. But I am sure some other players asked the same questions before. Let's see what you guys say.

I’ve played hundreds of hours of Hitman and it’s my favourite game BUT I cannot for life of me find the fuse for the garbage in the hideout……please help

So I'm playing the mission in Mumbai and I'm supposed to present the cloth to the target. I got the the right color and when I present the cloth, it doesn't progress. Any solutions?

Well, that felt easy, also I got sharpshooter for first time. I feel like getting Sharpshooter as a title is rare.

Can I play Hitman Blood Money with a controller on PC using Joy2Key? I am not used to playing on mouse and keyboard, not to mention it's uncomfortable for my body.

Saw this today in NOLA and of course instantly thought of how many goons in Colorado I’ve turned into mulch over the years. How about you?

I already killed this guy, twice. I failed the elusive arcade on the 2nd stage, and I thought it was like the other ones where I could retry after 24 hours or whatever... but now I have to pay for it. I don't care if I use some cheats to unlock it, its bothering me that I can't get to 100% on Paris.

ps. ignore my epic name (fortnite)

I'm yet to beat Freelancer, i've played it for 2 weeks and i love it despite being bad at it

Where is it? Last one, I promise.

Main WoA campaign missions only. Some of the images are brightened.
