What works

Intro movies, Inputs, Sound, Graphics (at least high-end and low-end settings), Load/Save, cutscenes. Basically, everything. Very high FPS, even with the (default) Direct3D renderer and anisotropic filtering enabled.

What does not

Nothing

Additional Comments

Works flawlessly. No invisible NPCs, no config file editing required. If you want to change the resolution, you'll have to edit it, though, just as in Windows. Just make a clean 32-bit wine prefix, install and run. No crack or CDemu required, no DLL overrides or winetricks. As requested in other versions: OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 460/PCIe/SSE2 -> running with proprietary graphics driver, version 304.88.

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.
