GOG version of Hitman Absolution has multiplayer content (Contracts) or it cut in here?

Doesn't really matter since IOI shut down the servers and haven't made any effort to bring them back since they went "independent" and signed with Warner Bros.

Anyway, to answer your question: no, the GOG release has had all the online functions and UI removed from it.


I like how I answered it and two people parroted me and the last response gets marked as the answer. Absolutely ridiculous.

Well basically what said.
With some additions thou so let me explain it further.
General multiplayer related servers were "temporarily" closed due to IOInteractive "issues" with square enix.
That was done bofore game got released here. That also made it impossible to use already owned (owned before server were closed) multiplayer related dlc at all on steam (you can also no longer buy them now).
While IOInteractive stated it was made "temporarily" it doesn't seem like they are working on this at all. You know absolution is older than Hitman 2016 and IO doesn't seem to be able to be bothered with patching the always online challanges progress and unlocks as well as scoring in Hitman 2016 so how would you think they would fix even older absolution? You know at this point their new game was left and basically abandoned by now and THIS game is completely forgotten by them.
When it was released here all online related content was cut. Not only that but also the release here was missing two major things:
1.Achievements - while some could argue they are unneccesary or whatever it is STILL downgrade compared to original version. Essentially a lazy release.
2.Entire sniper challange mode - yes, it was highly aimed at competetive scoring and online leaderboards but it would be a lie to say that it would not function without online connectivity. Essentially it was cut unneccesarily and it is another hint at lazy release.
You know they didn't even patch the known major bug with certain somebody's eyes in one mission that is a nussaince and a major obstacle in playing suit only. And that is while they knew about this bug for ages now (I find it highly unlikely that they didn't realise it exists given it regularly comes up once in a while on various forums such as reddit).
So if they ever fix this, well, online content that is, then maybe there will be an update here but generally you shouldn't count on it to be same time as on steam (if they even fix it on steam) or even at all as developers don't seem to have even posted once on gog forum from the very start they published their games on gog so it doesn't seem they even check anything here.
