Hitman 2 Help please

[non-fiction]

I didn't realise there was a crack that deactivated the sound!

But if you are having sound issues with hitman 2 there are a couple of things you can do

I had real hassle with this game on 1st installation ( with or without the no cd) but there are a few things you can do - Firstly upgrade with the official patch to v1.01, you should do this anyway cause it enables access to the console. Remember to restore the original distributed executable before you patch. You did make a copy before appling the nocd right? There is a nocd for 1.01 on GCW.

Soundblaster Live! cards are also a pain in the arse on this game, coz the drivers are crap, upgrade them if you can. For some variations of this card (i.e. mine!) this isn't as easy as it should be.

thirdly disable EAX - you can do this by command line argument or the hitman2.ini file if it is greyed out in the ingame menu. On my machine I found that enabling EAX gives me great environmental & 3d sound but I dont get ANY gunshot sounds at all - weird but true.

If that doesn't work then - I dunno, but thanks coz you've reminded me to go back & replay it - great game, lets have more!
