hitman 2 silent assassin can't play on windows 10

Under the game capture menus simply tell it to limit the FPS and uncheck the 'only when recording' option. but I used Bandicam as it seemed more 'legit' and isn't tied to specific HW / graphics cards. There are probably multiple Free options for doing this. if you use a 3rd party software to limit your frame rate to 60fps, then the D3D rendering will not be slow - which makes the videos and the game play work. It turns out this is because the application is not limiting the frame rate when rendering using D3D - but does when using OpenGL. Switching the 3d rendering back to D3D and escaping past the opening stuff, when I entered the 1st mission the character and NPCs rendered correctly - but the character himself seemed to move in slow motion. but when I got to the first mission, the main character and most of the NPC characters rendered simply as black silhouettes.

In fact the first 'tutorial' portion of the game rendered great and everything seemed to be working. ini file for the game, the opening videos and cut scene worked fine. The suggested fix under 'support' for the game is to change the 3d graphics driver from D3D to OpenGL if I hit ESC enough times and waited I eventually got the game menu, but when I would start a new game the screen would go black and although there was 'music' playing it never showed anything or did anything. When first installed the 'logo' videos and first 'cut scene' didn't play - no sound no video, just a white box on the screen. but think I found a working solution reading both Steam and GOG forums
