Hitman 2
  1 / 6    
In case anyone's thinking of picking it up, I can confirm it crashes on launch with 3D enabled on my system. Latest Win10 build, driver 416.16 It does have stereo setting flags in the registry, but I don't think they do anything. Basically the same engine as Hitman 2016, so if someone wants to take DHR's fix for that I imagine it might be workable to update it for Hitman 2.

The last update for Hitman 1 (2016), i made all fixes with Regex....so if is the same engine, should fix this game also (Not HUD and Sun/Moon). I will probably get this game next week.....so if someone can sort out that crash....maybe is a win10 issue only? maybe in win10 you need to disable the "Optimize full screen" (or something like that).

I've tried all graphics options, updating to driver 416.81, installed the 2016 fix, disabled full screen optimisations for the exe, compatibility mode (win7), run as admin, enabled the stereo flag in the game's registry settings, and nothing has worked so far. The profile works as I see the green text with Hitman DHR before it crashes. It crashes in 2D with the fix installed too, but upgrading toe fix to the latest 3dmigoto allows it to run with the fix in 2D. If you want to try it, I'm happy to set up Steam family sharing so you can try it before buying. Either way though, it's a fun evolution of the forumula and I'll enjoy it in as many dimensions as possible.

I can play the game but no 3D so I just deleted it then I come here and see this thread, for a second I thought I deleted it too fast.

3D Vision must live! NVIDIA, don't let us down!

As an aside, since IO have gone independent it's likely this is their last shot before they run out of money, so I'd recommend anyone interested in seeing the series/studio continue to pick this one up at full price, as they've done a great job.

There is a free demo on Steam if anybody wants to look into a fix. it also crashes for me on boot, 3D enabled or not, unless I disable exclusive fullscreen (anybody know how to fix this?). Playing in 'fullscreen' mode (which I assume is windowed fullscreen) it works fine and 3D is enabled with a rating of good. It looks like crap though, is this compatibility mode? I just got my RTX back from RMA so haven't got the chance to use 3D Vision much yet.

I don't have problems running the game in "exclusive fullscreen" in 3D (win7 and single GPU here)....all is broken like in vanilla Hitman (2016). Don't have crashes in running in 3D (with or without 3Dmigoto)... BUT...when i try to mark the CS responsable for shadows/lights/reflections the game now crashes... also all shaders have the DEVS comments....LOL....all shaders have // comment lines and all strange stuff....WTF with DEVS this days. I will install the new driver if avoid the driver crash!...and report back

Reflections definitely seem to render at the wrong depth and there barely is any depth at all in my experience.
