Issues fixed

Crashing on modern operating systems / Gate won't open

On Windows Vista, XP, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10, the game tends to crash unexpectedly and suffers from a glitch early on where a gate fails to open.

DirectX 8.1 Error

Install DirectPlay

Windows 8/8.1/10 removes important DirectX components, causing game to crash on startup. These components can be brought back by installing DirectPlay. More about DirectPlay here.

Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'.
Select 'Turn Windows features on and off'
Click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'.
Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer.

It is recommended to reinstall the game after installing DirectPlay.

High FPS / Glitched NPCs on Windows 10

Due to issues with D3D8, W10 has broken frame rate limiter which causes issues such as glitched AI

Cap the game to 60 FPS^[5]^[6]

Use a Direct3D 8 to Direct3D 9 wrapper^[7]

Certain sound effects and music loop

Use Manhunt Audio Fix
Download and extract Ultimate ASI Loader. Extract `dinput8.dl` to the installation folder. Download and extract Manhunt Audio Fix. Extract `AudioFix.asi` to the installation folder or scripts folder.
