Essential improvements

Skip launcher

Use the -skip_launcher command line argument[6]

Force Vulkan under Linux

Through launcher[7]
  1. Open Feral Launcher.
  2. Go to Advanced Options.
  3. add -showdebugpanel -showtestpanel.
By editing configuration files[8]
  1. Edit $XDG_DATA_HOME/feral-interactive/HITMAN/preferences.
  2. 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[9] or decreased performance and possible visual glitches, e.g no water.[8]

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[13]

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[14]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Double-click on the Refreshrate entry.
  3. 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.
