Additional Comments

Game plays great and smooth. now i can finally pick up where i left off with this game so long ago! on occasion, when watching NPCs walk around or stand still for a while, they would suddenly stick their arm out in what i assume to be the model's default position. not disruptive to gameplay at all, just an odd note. Also, it appears that pixel shaders now work properly, as i've been playing with pixel shaders enabled and i've run into no issues. finally, even though i could not set the anti-aliasing in game, by changing to force anti-aliasing in my graphics card's ATI control panel, anti-aliasing was used, and everything looked 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.
