It's a little confusing, as the previous times they gave away episodes like this you got to keep them, but going by their wording that's not true this time around:

If you can’t get enough heat – join us in Marrakesh, Morroco, a city of contrasts where old meets new. Where the sun always shines and agents always… well, do what agents do best. Download the HITMAN: Summer Pack and experience everything from Episode 3, including the campaign mission, Escalation Contracts, 20 levels of location mastery and 120+ challenges! All this without any additional cost, but for a limited time only, starting on the 17th of July.

Note: Game access lasts for the Summer Pack period, but your saved progress will transfer to the full game when purchased.

Easily one of my favourite Linux games, the episodes are all greatly varied with some really interesting (and tricky) level design making you be creative. I've spent so many hours playing it that it's a little ridiculous really. There was that time I spent a few hours on a livestream on a single level, mainly because I'm stupid and kept being found out and shot—funny though.

Find it on Steam. You've got 13 days to try it and see what you think.

No word from Feral Interactive yet on porting the next HITMAN game, I do hope sales were good enough for another as it really is entertaining.

Quoting: mylkadoes this game use vulkan? in the preferences file is this line
<value name="UseVulkan" type="integer">1</value>

It requires knowing the command for activating tester permissions. I wouldn't bother though, as it's quite unstable when it's active.

do you have this command? i would like to try vulkan in this game

Here.

thx. i have weird graphic bugs in this game

I was confused because i thought this Summer Pack was something new. But apparently its just Episode 3 which i had for a long time already.

So it's not Vulkan, specific. Ok then, that's curious. I had the same problem when in Sapienza. It must be due to something in the recent dev releases of Mesa 18.2

i have this bug with opengl, thats why i wanted to try vulkan. it is not the API
also i have the problem since i tried the game the first time, so it is not mesa 18.2
maybe it is a bug with the amd r9 series

It hasn't been a bug for Hitman before. That and it's likely the MESA Amdgpu driver that's causing the issues, not the game.

per default i have the radeon driver and hitman has the bug
for RotTR i had to do this because Vulkan doesnt work with radeon

but the bug is still there
