- Steam release includes left-overs of SecuROM DRM. Because the executable is not patched properly, the anti-piracy measures are triggered, which results in game-breaking bugs, including, but not limited to: gates and doors not opening, aggressive AI and memory leaks. See Essential improvements.
Essential improvements
Apply all the most up-to-date fixes
- Out of the box, the game is practically unplayable and incompletable on modern systems. Following the below comprehensive guide will make sure the best possible version of the game can be achieved.
Apply the best, most up to date and issue-proof fixes[citation needed] |

Notes
|
Manhunt Fixer
- Fixes several issues on modern systems such as crashes, gate not opening, audio loops, AI issues and script issues by downloading and applying the latest version of these fixes automatically.
- Includes optional enhancement mods, such as MHP and Manhunt.PluginMH.
- Proton: included D3D8 wrapper causes many environmental textures to appear pitch black. Please refer to this section for use with Linux.
- May result in the game having trouble launching due to Data Execution Prevention (DEP) being triggered on non-Steam versions of the game.
Use automated Manhunt Fixer installer[2] |
---|
Apply all default Manhunt Fixer's fixes manually[3] |
---|
Notes
|
MHNoDRM
- An alternative to ermaccer's exe-patch that removes broken anti-piracy measures by emulating correct SecuROM triggers behavior.
- Plugin does not fix other compatibility issues like broken FPS limiter or looped audio bug. Other fixes are needed to be installed manually.
- Since this fix uses the original game executable, it's guaranteed to not run into any issues with Data Execution Prevention.
- Does not affect non-Steam versions of the game.

Notes
|
Gate not opening and inability to pickup pickups
- Steam release is shipped with the original executable, which contains game breaking anti-piracy measures that also effect legitimate buyers of the game. Because this DRM layer was not patched properly, game-breaking bugs are introduced.[13]
Install MHNoDRM, a fix that fixes the game when using the original executable.[14] |
---|
Apply the exe-patch automatically by using Manhunt Fixer[15] |
---|
Apply the exe-patch manually[16] |
---|
|
- Manhunt Fixer makes the game run through
testapp.exe
by renaming it tomanhunt.exe
to fix these issues since it bypasses the anti-piracy measures.[17] However, the renamed executable may cause the game to refuse to launch due to Data Execution Prevention (DEP) being triggered since it's a literal crack of the game that rockstar put into the legitimate version of the game. This was reportedly fixed on Windows when using the steam version of the game, however this issue may still be present; (DEP is a part of Windows anti-virus protection). It is recommended to use the first fix, since with that one it's guaranteed not to trigger Data Execution Prevention (DEP) since it makes use of the original executable. The last 2 fixes are just noted here for completeness and objectivity's sake.[18]
Game refuses to launch
- This may occur when opening testapp.exe from the Steam version or attempting to run a non-Steam version with Manhunt Fixer since it triggers Data Execution Prevention (DEP), a part of Windows' security, which prevents the game from launching. Multiple fixes/patches, old and new, use testapp.exe or something that triggers DEP to launch the game, resulting in this issue.
Try MHNoDRM, a Steam fix that makes use of the original executable and therefore it's guaranteed not to trigger Data Execution Prevention as a result[19] |
---|
Notes
|
Add Data Execution Prevention exception[20] |
---|
Notes
|
Glitched NPC's and 60+ FPS
- On modern Windows, Vsync for pre-Vista Direct3D 8 games tends to be broken, which leads to a frame rate higher than 60. This can cause issues such as glitched AI where the AI just stands still or executes unexpected behavior. Make sure to only apply these fixes if suffering from this issue.
Cap the game to 60 FPS[21][22] |
---|
Use a D3D8 wrapper
- Linux/Proton: Only the D8VK fix is viable on Linux, otherwise issues like black textures and lighting issues may occur.
Use one of the following methods:
Apply ThirteenAG's custom D3D8 wrapper automatically by applying Manhunt Fixer[23] |
---|
|
Apply ThirteenAG's custom D3D8 wrapper manually[24] |
---|
|
Use D8VK (recommended on Linux systems and Windows laptops with NVIDIA GPUs, see below)[citation needed] |
---|
|
Use an alternative wrapper: d3d8to9[25] |
---|
Notes
|
Apply dgvoodoo2[citation needed] |
---|
Dedicated graphics card not recognized on laptops with Nvidia Optimus/Graphical issues on Linux
- Given how old the game is, the Nvidia Optimus issue is not a big issue as the game still runs at 200 FPS on integrated graphics, but it is an issue with the game nonetheless.
- Fixes graphical issues on Linux, since it translates DirectX 8 API calls to Vulkan.
Use D8VK[citation needed] |
---|
|
Certain sound effects and music loop
- Asynchronous file reading behavior has changed since Windows XP, which Manhunt depended on, causing a bug in this game where sound effects and music can loop. Manhunt Audio Fix fixes this issue this by simulating the old Windows XP asynchronous file reading behavior while keeping the audio intact.[26]
