Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM was removed from the Windows version on June 21, 2017.

A demo is available (progress carries over to the full game).^[6]

The game requires a constant Internet connection for some features to work properly (Elusive targets, Contracts mode, level progression, weapon unlocking, and challenge progression).^[7] Unlocks made online do sync to the offline profile, however.

All players receive the Hitman 2016 soundtrack and the "Making of" documentary, regardless of purchase history.

By editing configuration files^[10]
Edit `$XDG_DATA_HOME/feral-interactive/HITMAN/preferences`. Add `<value name="UseVulkan" type="integer">1</value>` below `HKEY_CURRENT_USER`, `Software`, `IndirectX`, `Direct3D` and `Config` keys.

This forces simple D3D11 to Vulkan translation which could result with increased^[11] or decreased performance and possible visual glitches, e.g. no water.^[10]

Issues fixed

Flickering with AMD Crossfire

Game flickers when run on multiple AMD GPUs in Crossfire.

Change the resolution and then change back to the original resolution^[15]

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.

Set screen refresh rate^[16]

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Double-click on the Refreshrate entry.
Select Decimal and change the value to your screen refresh rate.

Notes

On Windows, there used to be a GFXSettings.HITMAN.xml file that had graphics settings, but the game has since been updated. As a result, the file was removed and the settings were moved to the Registry. On Linux, the XML file exists but is set up in the same coding language as a Registry entry.

Game crashes to desktop

Performance-monitoring software, like Logitech Gaming Software, can cause the game to crash. Close it before starting the game.
