Issue: Everyone is turning black
http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/547557505836556712/20994B6539D33948AF57D6893A7CB981DC80B4E4/

It was working last night randomly but now every time I start up the game, everyone in the game turns black. My character and all the npc's. Does anyone know how to fix this?

you never go back

It's true, I stopped trying and uninstalled.
When I was trying to get the game working in widescreen resolutions using the OpenGL renderer instead of Direct3D I would get the same issue. Link 1 from this widescreen fix is what you're after (give it a try if you want):

All the best.

I'm getting that Direct 3D error again when I try that.

Hey there, had the same issue. I found that it works in window-mode and curiously it'll turn fullscreen nonetheless but still work.

Simply open the downloaded hitman2.ini within the game's directory and change

Window 0

to

Window 1

I hope this helps.

When I try to do that, I get an error stating it failed to find steam.

У меня такая же была проблема. Она появляется при игре на OpenGL, поэтому надо дополнить игру DLL-файлами по этому руководству и перевести игру в режим D3D.
