Holy crap, couple of weeks ago i wrote an email to Clutch via their official website if they could contact IO and fix this music licencing problem couse the game is practically getting forgotten and nowhere to be found digitally now and to my astonishment the game is sold once again digitally! Could there be a connection, did you guys at IO got contected by them or sumthing? :D

It wouldn't be the band's call. They don't own the rights to that song anymore. Immortal is from an album called Pure Rock Fury and it was distributed by Atlantic, who dropped them a year or two after the album came out.

I can't believe IO has bothered to rerelease this game, fix sound issues, even add widescreen support BUT THEN cannot be bothered to fix the aspect ratio.

Can someone explain that kind of thinking to me? I just don't get it. If Square Enix and IOI had just thrown it out on Steam as the retail version, no widescreen, no nothing, okay. Then I'd say they were just looking for a quick cash grab. But this way they actually got into the source code again, changed up some stuff, but then left out the most obvious part.

I really don't understand. They must have been stoned.

Where is the controller support? This game seems like its a stripped down console port where all the features like widescreen and controller support were removed. Will they be added back in to offer gamers the same experience as xbox 360 and ps3 owners?

It's not a console port. It's a PC game from 2004.

Still having problem with saves. Any hints?

Take a look at the community guide on this hub. Some of us have dug into the .exe and successful so far (fixed FoV, aspect ratio and so forth), but options are not visible when we do this. E.g. press E to....

Dont worry i had to do that as well to ensure i spelt it right :)

So no update on aspect ratio or save problems people have been having with this game??

[-3xA'Lu©κy the disappearing act]

Disappointed this game was never fixed.

Oh well - didn't expect much anyway.

I'm playing on Windows 7 64 bit and the game doesn't save. Anybody know any work arounds or fixes for the save issue?

[Baron Calamity]

it saves fine for me on windows 7 64 bit. Ceck and see if you have write permision to whatever directory it wants to save the game in?

Am I supposed to save manually or does this game feature auto-save like Hitman 2 and Blood Money? The directory I've saved Contracts to has write permission but everytime I quit I have to start a new game no matter what difficulty I'm playing on.

[Baron Calamity]

You have to manually save. At least I do. I haven't tried just letting it go.

[sen_no_rikyu]

Professional difficulty is completely broken because you can't save in between levels for whatever reason. Restarting the game makes you lose all progess. No point in playing this ♥♥♥♥ port because of it as the game is far too easy otherwise.

[-3xA'Lu©κy the disappearing act]

It's interesting that saving is broken for some and that IOI hasn't bothered to fix it yet.

Oh well: here's hoping a PC release of the Hitman HD Trilogy comes sometime to Steam.
