{{--}} This fix decreases the vertical FOV in widescreen.
 
−
{{--}} Running the game in windowed mode disables v-sync and anti-aliasing. This can result in extremely high framerates that affect gameplay and break the in-game cutscenes.
 
−
{{--}} Running the game in OpenGL instead of Direct3D will cap the frame rate at 60 frames per second, but may result in graphical glitches such as untextured character models in some levels.

Widescreen resolution

Widescreen fix (Hor+)
  1. Download Widescreen fix for Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, unzip it and copy the contents to <path-to-game>.
  2. (Optional) To change the resolution, go to <path-to-game>\scripts\, open h2.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 d3d8.ini, find RealDllPath, and change AUTO to scripts\d3d8.dll.
  3. Copy over dgVoodoo 2's d3d8.dll to scripts.

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 h2.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 unresolved

Error and/or crash after accessing the in-game graphics settings

After accessing the in-game graphics settings, attempting to play a mission will throw an error message and/or crash the game.[8]
Exit the game and launch it again.
Manually change the settings through Hitman2.ini.

Issues fixed

Vsync doesn't work on Windows 10

The built-in Vsync requires a wrapper to function on Windows 10 and later.
Apply the built-in wrapper of the Widescreen fix
  • Open dxwrapper.ini, find D3d8to9 and change 0 to 1.
  • Find EnableD3d9Wrapper and change 0 to 1.
Use the standalone d3d8to9
Redundant when using the Widescreen fix.
  1. Download d3d8to9.
  2. Copy d3d8.dll to <path-to-game>.
Use dgVoodoo 2 by itself, or combine it with the Widescreen Fix.

High frame rate issues

Frame rates above 60 will cause NPCs to be more sensitive than intended and may affect path finding. Game is still playable at 144 fps, but issues may arise if attempting to play through a level with perfect stealth.
Apply the Vsync fix[9]
  • Set the display's refresh rate to 60 Hz.
Cap the frame rate to 60 FPS or lower[10]
Both Nvidia and AMD control panels cannot cap the frame rate, unless a wrapper is applied.

Game is displayed in-between screens

The window is displayed in the middle of Windows workspace, which may end up being in-between screens.
Set window position[11]
