A BIG THANKS TO DarkStarSword!!!! for fixing the culling and Light Shafts/Ambient Lights
This fix is a big improvement over the last Hitman fix, now a dynamic crosshair is add, culling in lights, reflections are fixed and Light Shafts/Ambient Lights is also fixed/improved.
Also this fix works with the Hitman 2016 (Legacy)...so you can revisit all previous stages with a full fix.
Update 03-10:
- Fix update fue game update
Fix:
- Shadows
- Lights
- Culling in Lights/Reflections by DarkStarSword
- Lights Shafts/Ambient Lights by DarkStarSword

TB and SBS Mode (optional):
- The game support SBS/TB Mode using 3Dmigoto. Remove the ";" in the ";include = ShaderFixes\3dvision2sbs.ini" of the d3dx.ini. Default TB Mode. F11 to cycle. Also remember to use "HDMI Checkerboard" in the NVCP to remove the 720p limitation.
Presets:
- "F1" to see presets
Know issue:
- The HDR in this game, sometimes causes some minor issues...you will probably don't notice. I tweak the CS HDR to eliminate, but still some really minor issues happens.
Instructions:
- Extract where HITMAN2.exe (\HITMAN2\Retail)
- Start the game, when "Rundll32" prompt appear, press "Yes" (in Win10 this don't appear). This is for the Profile Override needed for this game. In Nvidia overlay you will see "3Dfix by DHR".

TOTALLY AWESOME, thanks alot DHR and DSS, and the 2016 bonus isn't less awesome :)
ReplyDeleteawesome!!!
ReplyDeletethanks!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. Waiting for battlefield 5 :-) and Still hope for mafia 3 ? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's not a very polite behavior, to ask for other fixes here!
Deleteright, sorry !
DeleteAmazing. Thanks a lot...
ReplyDeleteI'm getting an instant crash on launch running Windows 10 64. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Game launches without fix installed. Could it be because I'm running the demo and not the full game?
ReplyDeleteWhen you say demo, I assume you mean the Prologue? I get the same crash at launch. Win10 Driver 417.01. To get past this, set the game to windowed mode to start in the launcher, then after the game is loaded, do alt-enter to switch to exclusive full screen, and 3D will kick, and the fix works.
DeleteOh wow, thank you bo3b! I missed thinking of that, "set the game to windowed" mode to start. It was driving me nuts, but playing in Win7 anyway. Still, drove me nuts... Thanks!
DeleteHITMAN 2 (2018)
ReplyDeleteFinally playing this game and took time to update the blog to confirm it still works.
This game in its full package (Hitman 1+2 + Legacy Pack Upgrade) it’s one of the finest products of entertainment I’ve ever played. And with DHR’s awesome fix, the game is elevated to mandatory/eternal status. If you like it, you’ll be playing this a lot, especially since there are no more stealth/sandbox/immersive sims games around. Every level is perfectly crafted to capture the essence of a location/event. And there’s a boatload of them! The mechanics are very tight (subdue/drag/disguise/hide/shoot/thrown or manual melee etc), the interplay between its various systems mash perfectly (NPCs can suspect/detect/distract/alert/fear etc).
Thank you DHR for your great gift to this community!
About performance:
The game will perform well for most 1080p users. There are some issues like AA being forced, which will impact performance a lot.
The game likes to crash often. I’ve solved this by turning Vsync ON in-game, and disabling SLI.
For 4K users, performance is a big issue. Upscaling feature does not work, SBS/OU introduces the unbearable eye desync, and the game itself has no option for resolution scaling. What I found was that setting the game as « full screen » instead of « Exclusive Full Screen » makes it accept non-native resolutions, so I played in 1080p with ok performance (60fps locked indoors, outdoors is sometimes ok depending which way you look)
Hope this info will help whoever wants to play this marvel of a game.
Many thanks to all the shaderhakers for sharing their passion with us so generously!
Have fun assassinating your designated targets, y’all!
« I will leave you to prepare »
thanks and Merry Christmas .
DeleteThank you DHR and Merry Christmas !
ReplyDeleteexcellent 3d fix. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJust tested the demo on Win10 20H2, nV 452.06 - wow, looks amazing, when the scene loaded on the shore with the boat, I was truly amazed. Will play this for sure in the future, thank you for an amazing fix!

Amazing job! Thanks a lot DHR.
ReplyDeleteJust for your info DHR : I've noticed that mirrors and glass reflections are no more fixed : Left and right eyes are inverted ! There is a lot of mirrors in this game and that tears the eyes apart. (I've only played the Hitman 1 campaing (legacy pack))
