This guide presumes that your operating system is Windows 7, if your operating system isn't then this guide might not work.

  • Open up the Windows start menu and type "hitman.ini" into the Search-bar.
    The ".ini" file we are searching for should now show up in the search result.

  • If the hitman.ini file doesn't show up in the search field, try finding the file in the steamfolder:
    Default path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hitman Codename 47\hitman.ini

  • Edit the "hitman.ini" file using a notepad and replace the text with following:

Include Setup\Locale.zip //DrawDll Render3DFX.dll DrawDll RenderOpenGL.dll //DrawDll RenderOpenGL.dll SoundDll Sound.dll ScriptDll GSC.dll LocaleDLL Locale.dll Resolution 1920x1080 ColorDepth 32 Anisotropy 2 AntiAlias DisableLight ShadowDetail 2 TextureResolution 0 DisableDXT DisablePAL Window StartUpperPos 0,0

  • Save the changes and close notepad.

  • Done! now start the game.

Note: The resolution of your screen may differ from in this guide (1920x1080).
If so change it to whatever size your screen supports.

What does DisableDXT and Disable PAL do, because I don't have those in the ini files

It is working 100%.
For those who are having problems with the controls you should set them yourself in the Options menu under Mouse & Keyboard. The Vanilla settings are terrible.:steamsad:

hey! This is the only guide that works for me.
Thanks A LOT!

Also, I would advie you to add something like "Do not change anything IN game options, cause this will ruin this guide's fix"
