Issues fixed

Game won't start

This issue seems to be more prone for those trying to launch the game with the updated engine/executable instead of the original GameMaker version.
Install OpenAL[citation needed]
Disable statistics (FPS counters) software
Programs that report computer statistics such as frame rate, GPU usage, memory usage etc. can cause the game to not start correctly and is recommend to shut them down if you're having issues launching the game.
Programs that use RivaTuner Statistics Server such as MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision X allow you to exclude a game's executable file to prevent RivaTuner from attempting to look at the game if you wish to keep MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision X running for those that want to view their system's statistics.
  1. Open RivaTuner Statistics Server if installed.
  2. Click the "+" button to open a separate window that will ask you to select the executable.
  3. Locate HotlineMiami.exe in the installation folder.
  4. On the right, look for "Application Detection Level" and select "None".
  5. Minimize RivaTuner Statistics and try to launch the game.
  6. If you're still having issues, try excluding the OpenGL executable by repeating steps 2 through 4 but selecting HotlineGL.exe instead.
