Issues fixed
Game won't start
|
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, so it's recommended 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.
- Open RivaTuner Statistics Server if installed.
- Click the "+" button to open a separate window that will ask you to select the executable.
- Locate
HotlineMiami2.exe in the installation folder.
- On the right, look for "Application Detection Level" and select "None".
- Minimize RivaTuner Statistics and try to launch the game.
|
|
Add "-gl" to launch options[citation needed]
|
- Forcing the game to run in OpenGL can fix the issue.
Use the -gl command line argument.
