Hello i'm looking for other people who might have somehow managed to make this game work, i've spent a bit of time looking on the net to fix the issues that i'm experiecing with this.

Basically if i use the RenderD3D, the game intro screen will be grey and you can only hear the sounds till it blocks or if you press esc you end up having a black screen.

Looking around gog also brought up the option to switch to Opengel render instead which makes the game intro work and even let me access the main menu to start playing the game, but the issue is that the infamous black glitch starts as soon as the training mission to disappear quickly and return immediately in the anathema mission.

Has anybody found a way to properly run the game? I'm still looking around but can't find much and it's mostly messing with the ini file of the game

For anyone reading you can fix the issue by switching the render option from hitman silent assassin txt files in the game folder to RenderD3D and then proceed to download the dx 8 to dx9 converter file

the site is enbdev.com/convertor_dx8_dx9_v0036.htm enjoy

I just want to bump this and confirm it. You don't need to do the OpenGL thing mentioned in the more viisble thread, the method above of follow dibici24's link and changing the .ini render option to RenderD3D is the way to go. You download the zip file, open it and paste the non-.txt files into the root folder for the game, paste 'RenderD3D' into the Hitman2.ini file, save it, and that's that.

(my issue started in Anathema, Agent47 and all of the NPCs was a taxtureless black silhouette using OpenGL, now he's got textures no matter where the camera points, etc)
