- 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
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. Currently advised to manually install fixes and skip ThirteenAG's custom D3D8 wrapper.[2]
- 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[3] |
|---|
| Apply all default Manhunt Fixer's fixes manually[4] |
|---|
|
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, you are guaranteed to not run into any issues with Data Execution Prevention.

Issues fixed
DirectX 8.1 Error

|---|

|
|---|
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.[14]
| Apply the exe-patch automatically by using Manhunt Fixer[15] |
|---|
| Apply the exe-patch manually[16] |
|---|
|
- The manhunt fixer makes the game run through testapp.exe by renaming it to Manhunt.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. This was fixed on Windows when using the steam version of the game, however this issue may still be present in other versions of the game; (DEP is a part of windows anti-virus protection)[18]
| Use MHNoDRM, an alternate fix that makes use of the original executable and therefore you are guaranteed not to trigger Data Execution Prevention as result.[19] |
|---|
Game refuses to launch
- This may occur when using testapp.exe to launch the game 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.
| Use MHNoDRM, an alternate fix that makes use of the original executable and therefore you are guaranteed not to trigger Data Execution Prevention as result.[20] |
|---|
|
| Add Data Execution Prevention exception |
|---|
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 nvidia laptops, see below) |
|---|
|
| Use an alternative wrapper: d3d8to9[25] |
|---|
|
| Apply dgvoodoo2 |
|---|
Graphics card not recognized on laptops with Nvidia Optimus
- Given how old the game is, it 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.
| Use D8VK |
|---|
|
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]
| Apply Manhunt Audio fix automatically through Manhunt Fixer |
|---|
| Apply Manhunt Audio Fix manually[27] |

Mods
- MHP and Manhunt.PluginMH mods are fully compatible with each other.
Manhunt.PluginMH
- Also included Manhunt Fixer.
- Only main enhancement enabled by default is skipping the intro sequence. Also adds optional developer menu, togglable HUD, custom menu with cheats, console and screenshot mode. Setting certain values to true in
PluginMH.iniallows users to enable several other enhancements, like first-person mode.[28]
| Install Manhunt.PluginMH mod[29] |
|---|
|
MHP
- Also included in Manhunt Fixer.
- Re-implements many missing PlayStation 2 specific effects missing in the PC version. Many of these enhancements are enabled by default and can be toggled on and off through
MHP.ini. - Also implements MSAA support through changing the
nMSAAinMHP.inito a value from 0 to a maximum 16 (1 by default). On Nvidia-hardware only it is advised to then also setbRwMSAASupportto1to work around driver-related issues, black screen and graphical corruption.
