We just don't know right now. I hadn't unlocked much on Playstation, but my suits and other unlocks aren't showing up: just the various pre-order, Gold Edition and GOTY-based bonuses. It's a mess, tbh.

IIRC in H2 when you save scum, you're given the exp in the background and the final tally will only display the exp you gained in the "true run". As long as your challenges are completed, the exp should have been awarded with no obvious indication. Only that you might have noticed that you started the tally at the higher level than you should've been. I have to imagine the disconnections did the same.
Specifically that happened to you with the website saying you had 0 Mastery in some levels?
Hopefully them transferring the "error" one's manually fix it because like you said, if you did a ton of stuff in Hitman 2 like me.... your sorta fucked. No way I can unlock all that stuff again with the amount of Challenges left over. I tried redoing one of them and completing the intro Hitman 2 level, it didn't recheck those off.
No, the website reflected my correct Level (55) and various Mission Mastery levels (8 on Paris, etc.) And those appear correctly in-game as well. But my inventory is missing a lot of shit.
tfw you don't even want to launch the game you spent $80 on in fear that it'll sync your progression in some weird half-irreparable state.
Finally, everything has been imported and properly synced between the PS5/PS4VR version for me (I had the "Error" message).
Oh no, now my "carryover status: Error" disappeared completely and there's only a loading loop. Why do things have to be like this
It imports all of the Hitman and Hitman 2 stages into Hitman 3. So you don't just have the new seven(?) maps to play, you can also play all of the maps from the other games too. All within Hitman 3 with all of your unlocks and everything.
Basically you don't need Hitman and Hitman 2 installed anymore. Hitman 3 is a platform for all of the Hitman.
I mean it's all the same account and servers, ffs. It's like they went out of their way to complicate things.
Dunno if this is the issue but remember that it's only pulling in data from Hitman 2. So if you absolutely rinsed those stages in Hitman but didn't play much of them in Hitman 2 then your mastery may look lower than you'd think.
You probably know all of this, I'm just saying.
Seeing some of the carry-over imports missing mastery progress and unlocks like the ET suits is really worrying.
Inventory stuff is missing! Everything unlocked from mastery levels (starting locations, weapons, equipment...) is missing to some of us.
So I finally was able to kick off the carryover progress from Steam Hitman 2 -> EGS Hitman 3, but then after a spinning wheel was shown for a few minutes, now it's just a blank window. Anyone else have this? Should I definitely not refresh the page?
Can't even really connect to the website either on PS5 or desktop.
I'm just gonna hop in tonight. I refuse to believe there's no way to get my progress over without overwriting H3 progress, and even if it does, I'll be happy to replay whatever I've done in H3.
Server load aside, this is a really, really bad system they've set up.

That sounds familiar but in this case I counted the experience total in the challenges screen and it was 31k. In my career profile though it only totals 16k.
I am certain some of the challenges did not get a tick or pop up in the after mission report and only the ones that did counted towards my overall mastery.
Oh. Just realised my XP level and challenge progress migrated across but none of my unlocks did. All my guns, tools, suits, everything all gone.
The website still says error for the transfer so I'm hoping this can be resolved. And before I did the transfer I had stuff like an all red gun which I believe was a bonus for owning one of the previous games'. Those have disappeared too.
What a complete and utter mess.

Yeah... I've noticed that I'm missing a lot of stuff that the game "says" I have unlocked like all my poisons and a lot of my melee weapons. Fucking weird.
That might be it. Or I'm thinking of the mastery levels on the PS4 version because I doubled dipped the original on Xbox a year later.
Well finally got my account created, linked EGS & Steam, and done the export, sitting at pending now...
Your progress/mastery etc is tied to an IOI account, so it should just synch up
Exactly the same issue here on Series X.
My son bought, completed and raved about Hitman 1 & 2 on our old Xbox One.
I'm new to the series and thought I'd go all in with 3. Completed the prologue/training and can't continue into campaign 1 even though 2 is available.
Then the game dropped text spoilers to bring me up to speed for part 3.
Not off to the best of starts.......

Again people from IOI actually post here for people who want to try and get their shots in
also Square Enix has nothing to do with this game
I mean... it's clearly not?
The most simplistic way to look at it is that they might have different databases (or database tables at least) for the progress data. Maybe there's differences about how the 3 database is set up because it matters for 3, that they don't want to touch in the 2 database because it would break 2. Maybe they track different things about your progress. Maybe they've made each record take up less space.
(EDIT: It could be as simple as something so obvious I didn't think about it: having to track your progress in 3.)
For whatever reason, it's different. They'd be transferring your progress from the 2 database to the 3 database for this process. Something like that.
And they could do that transfer automatically, but it would mean:
1. Wasting a lot of time running this for every single person who owns Hitman 2, when not everyone is going to be buying 3 at launch and so doesn't actually need the transfer.
2. Arbitrarily locking everyone's progress in 2 to be transferred at this specific date, when not everyone is going to be buying 3 at launch and may play more of 2, then want to transfer that additional progress when they buy 3.
It is pretty easy to see why they'd have to do something like this. It certainly could have been handled better while still doing it this way, but this doesn't run on magic, there's technical reasons to do things like this overall.

I can't even begin the Carry Over process to get to the part where everyone is worrying about the transfer not going well. The site just shits itself after Step 0.
Yeah I had the spoilers too 😔 hitman 1 stuff will be there, just got try the campaign tab again until it shows if that makes sense?
So I refreshed the page, and it took me back to the page where you start the carryover process, and this time it said there were no H2 accounts eligible to transfer. Welp.
Edit: Huzzah! It says Finished!
If I understand it right, all the levels from 1 and 2 are built into the install size of 3 and you don't need to have everything installed individually, right? That's how it appears to be going on my ps5. If so, a pleasant surprise considering the hd limitations on Ps5
yep, I didn't download anything extra and was able to boot up a Hitman 2 level just fine. Total file size is just under 60 gigs, which is insane cause my Hitman 2 file size is 125 gigs. Well done, IO.
Cool, this has allieviated my fears that I've messed this up and won't get H2 carried over.
I was able to get the website to the Review Progress step but a bunch of the levels are showing 0 mastery.
was finally able to both login into H3 and transfer my progress on the carryover site. how in the actual fuck was IOI able to compress everything so much???? ill wait for them to solve the H2 situation, but 3 with 1 stages is already only 55gb. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
