The Simpsons: Hit & Run is a singleplayer third-person open world game in the The Simpsons series.
Key points
- It is recommended to use Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher to play the game on modern systems.
- Game lacks an FPS limiter and causes physics and enemy AI problems at frame rates higher and lower than 60 FPS. Use Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher to fix.
- Some of the visual effects are missing from the console versions of the game, such as lens flare effect in Level 1 and Level 3, hover car refraction and sphere map reflections. Possibly due to (at the time) limitations of D3D8. Use Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher to bring most of these missing effects back.
Availability
- This game is not available digitally.

Widescreen resolution
- The game supports six hardcoded resolutions out of the box. Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher extends this support to any resolution reported by your graphics card or manually specified in the game's configuration file.
- By default, the game's FOV will be adjusted in relation to your selected aspect ratio.

Frame rate (FPS)
- The game was designed to run at 60 FPS and has problems of varying severity at framerates higher or lower than 60. Below 60 the player may clip into cars, which can pose an issue in many destruction missions.
- Above 60 FPS both player and car physics are negatively affected, causing cars to fly off edges at uncontrollable speeds and the player character to be able to jump higher than originally intended. In some cases at excessively high frame rates, the game can blue screen playing loud static sounds.
