*CTD While running Xfire when loading a saved game, starting a mission from the mission screen, or
 
restarting a mission. Creds to 1r0nbunny here and MFive at XFire for the fix.
 
1. Make sure Xfire is not running.
 
2. In your Xfire root folder, open the xfire_games.ini file.
 
3. Ctrl+F to find 4821 - This is the entry for Hitman Blood Money.
 
4. Add this line at the bottom of that entry below InGameRenderer - InGameFlags=DISABLE_RELEASE
 
5. Save the ini file.
 
6. Run Xfire and Launch Hitman Blood Money.
 
You should no longer crash while loading. We will add this fix in our next game update - Xfire.

Widescreen resolution

Blood Money has a small configure.exe tool that can be run outside of the game to alter a limited set of graphics options. This presents a very limited range of resolution choices. The in-game menu presents you with a better range of choices including 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions.
