Additional Comments

Installed in WinXP mode, with disabled pixel shaders. could not launch the 'autorun.exe' on the cd, but launching the setup.exe file directly worked perfectly. install goes fine, and game launches with no probs. cutscenes work fine and look great, no abnormal lag or gameplay-killers characteristics noticed. playing the game with pixel shaders enabled works (i.e. it doesnt generate any crashes) but if pixel shaders are enabled, then the characers in game render as solid colors in the 'diagram of man' position. other than that, worked great!

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO: Change Direct3D to OpenGL rendering

1. Go to Hitman 2's directory, which is likely ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Eidos Interactive/Hitman 2 Silent Assassin
2. Then type this: wine notepad Hitman2.ini
3. On the line "DrawDll RenderD3D.dll", Change it to "DrawDll RenderOpenGL.dll"
4. Save the file

PS. Do NOT use editors like nano or pico. They'll save the "new line" as \n instead of \n\r which the game does not understand.

Note:

Make sure that you have your video drivers and xorg configured correctly. Download and run Envy to do this. http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html

Note:

During gameplay in certain lighting, the character models may turn completely black. If anyone has a fix, please let me know.

Mac OSX sound issues

The following has been extracted from an old user comment; it may or may not be relevant to current Wine.

If you have issues with sound latency (or weird sound glitches) on Mac OSX go to winetricks and install dsound.
