Issues fixed[edit]

No sound[edit]

Fix Disable surround sound[4]

Disable surround sound on audio drivers.

Cannot skip intro videos[edit]

Fix Videos cannot be skipped, and removing video files causes problems.

As of update 1.0.438.0, intro videos can now be skipped anytime after the first run of the game.

FPS Drop/Issues[edit]

Fix Disable MSAA in Display Options.

This should fix your issues with huge FPS drops that come from opening doors or cutscenes.

Game doesn't show up in Windows 8.1[edit]

Fix Disable exclusive Fullscreen.

In Windows 8.1, sometimes the game will appear to start minimized, and any attempts at restoring the game will not work. Disabling exclusive fullscreen mode in the Hitman options should fix it.

Issues unresolved[edit]

Crashing while playing cinematics[edit]

The game crashes while playing cinematics.[5]
