'''Notes'''
 
'''Notes'''
−
With the Hitman series, Steam always seems to consider your *.ini files "corrupt" if you've ever changed resolutions (presumably since doing so modifies the *.ini files). Accordingly, users who have managed to get Hitman working and changed the resolution will always get a single file reported as corrupt and about 250 bytes downloaded (i.e. this is to be expected).
+
{{++}} Correct widescreen aspect ratio while maintaining the original vertical field of view (FOV).
 +
{{ii}} It is recommended not to change the in-game resolution setting to avoid conflicts.

Field of view (FOV)
Windowed
To manually adjust window position edit hitman.ini with text editor and add StartUpperPos 0,0 to the end of a file (first number is how many pixels from the left the window is displayed, second (separated by comma) is how many pixels from the top).
Borderless fullscreen windowed
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
Anti-aliasing (AA)
The option may be grayed out or has no effect on modern systems.
Choose an OpenGL renderer and see Forcing anti-aliasing.[6]
Vertical sync (Vsync)
Enabled by default with no option to turn it off.
60 FPS and 120+ FPS
The game should capped at maximum of 283 fps (or preferably lower as FPS also affects camera sway).[7]
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the glossary page for potential alternatives.

Widescreen resolution

The game HUD does not scale and may be too small to read at high resolutions.
Widescreen fix (Hor+)
  1. Download Widescreen fix for Hitman: Codename 47, unzip it and copy the contents to <path-to-game>.
  2. (Optional) To change the resolution, go to <path-to-game>\scripts\, open h47.ini and change the Width and Height values.
  3. (Optional) If you set the resolution to lower than your display's resolution, open the video driver control panel and set the scaling to fullscreen or maintain aspect ratio.

Notes

Correct widescreen aspect ratio while maintaining the original vertical field of view (FOV).
It is recommended not to change the in-game resolution setting to avoid conflicts.

Combining the Widescreen fix with dgVoodoo 2

Specify the path to the dgVoodoo 2 dll
  1. Apply the Widescreen fix.
  2. Open ddraw.ini, find RealDllPath, and change AUTO to scripts\ddraw.dll.
  3. Copy over dgVoodoo 2's ddraw.dll to scripts, and d3dimm.dll to <path-to-game>.

Note:

dgVoodoo.conf and dgVoodooCpl.exe can be in either folder.

Too small UI elements at higher resolutions

Set a lower game resolution and force a higher one with dgVoodoo 2
  1. A. If using the widescreen fix, go to <path-to-game>\scripts, open h47.ini and change the resolution to 1280x720.
    B. If not, pick a resolution in the game's configurator that offers a UI size you like, e.g. 1024x768.
  2. A. If using the widescreen fix, use this method to apply dgVoodoo 2.
    B. If not, simply apply dgVoodoo 2.
  3. Run dgVoodooCpl.exe, go to the DirectX tab, and in the Resolution box select your desired high resolution.

Issues fixed

Game window displayed in-between screens

If running windowed mode, the game will place the window across screens (in some cases, half off-screen).
Set window position[citation needed]
  1. Go to <path-to-game> and open hitman.ini.
  2. Add StartUpperPos 0,0 to the file.

Game runs too fast

Keep CPU power usage settings stable[citation needed]
  1. Open Control Panel and then Power Options. Click on the "Change plan settings" of whatever plan is currently active. (By default this should be "Balanced.")
  2. On the next screen click "Change advanced power settings"; a window should open containing a list of the individual components affected by power management.
  3. Scroll down to "Processor power management" and expand everything so that both "Minimum processor state" and "Maximum processor state" are visible. By default under the "Balanced" plan these should be set at 5% and 100% respectively.
  4. In order to fix the speed problem in Codename 47 "Minimum processor state" should be changed to 100%. (Alternatively one may select the default "High Performance" plan a few screens back.)

Notes

This will prevent your computer from automatically slowing down your processor's clock-rate in times of low demand. Older software may be explicitly relying on the processor having a constant clock speed for in-game timing.

Low frame rate on Windows 8/8.1

To use the following in conjunction with the Widescreen fix, see here.
Use dgVoodoo 2
Use DDRAW FPS Fix

High frame rate issues

High Frame rate will cause various issues such gravity stops working (guns start to float in air). High FPS also affects how much the camera sways and how far ragdolls fly.
Limit the frame rate to 60 FPS

Increase draw distance

The draw distance on some levels is extremely short, making it difficult to see enemies.
Game is balanced towards the default draw distance. Adjusting it can cause major performance issues engine wise regardless of PC configuration.[9]
Use Widescreen fix for Hitman: Codename 47
  1. Apply the Widescreen fix.
  2. Go to <path-to-game>\scripts\, open h47.ini and edit Draw_Distance value as desired.

Notes

Causes a significant decrease in performance.
Use draw distance unlocker[10]
  1. Download Hitman Unlocker and extract to <path-to-game>.
  2. Start the game, go to options and configure keys to increase and decrease draw distance.

Notes

Only works on the Steam version.
Can interfere with some DirectSound3D restoration methods due to using a dummy dsound.dll to patch the game.
In the jungle levels or in Rotterdam, both locations with large open spaces, it can tank your FPS considerably if you don't have a high-end computer.
