NB! This fix uses Vulkan API wrappers, in order for it to work your GPU must have support for Vulkan API, this includes NVIDIA/AMD GPU's,Intel integrated older gens don't support Vulkan API,but if you have a dual GPU laptop,just force the NVIDIA/AMD as a main GPU for this game in their Control Panels.Enjoy the classic!

Drunken Ape You can try,the manhunt fix bat patch will work if executed under wine, but for 60 FPS limit you will need to use something like libstrangle.

[Drunken Ape]

will/ does it work on linux?

humam2105 The wrong model is ok as long as it plays,it is an opensource wine wrapper fix that just requires support of Vulkan API from your GPU RX 6800 XT should run it just fine Ermaccers fixer uses a Directx 9 API wrapper,but if it works for you then it is also a great option

Dora da explora' This fix only works with Steam version not with the pirated version of Manhunt.

skullcap2005 Thank you for the great feedback.

[Dora da explora']

I wanna buy the game but i know that it's pirate version, does it really help?

[skullcap2005]

thank you <3

[Electrix]

I'm having the same exact issue as @humam2105
This didn't happen before in my old laptop though, the patch worked just fine then

[humam2105]

I tried this fix but it doesn't really work. I tried the other patch from Manhunt fixer and it worked just fine. Maybe because I have an AMD 6800 XT GPU? I tried all the steps you mentioned but still couldn't fix the game, the game started with a black screen and when selecting the resolution it showed the wrong model of my GPU

emily_008 No need for cloning, although it is the dev way to do it, everything is showed in the video, just push the Green Button to get the zip file in the browser, it literally says Download Zip at the bottom.

And it works if your GPU supports Vulkan API this fix is based on Vulkan. If you are having trouble there is ermaccer's Manhunt fix for everything that is not based on Vulkan API and has a point and click installation.

Also you will need to enable 3.5 NET Framework Support and Direct Play on Windows 10/11 for it to work.

[emily_008]

Doesn't work at all. Game just starts with black screen.
@∩ (◣_◢) ∩: You habe to download the Git folder via a tool like Git Bash for windows.
You install it, then you simply type
git clone https://github.com/fkortsagin/Manhunt-fix-Windows-10/
