Manhunt Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 Fix Guide (Gate, AI, and Looping Fixes)

This guide will show you how to patch the Steam version of the game to fix the infamous gate bug, along with the looping of certain sound effects.

The Newer Fix

ermaccer's Manhunt Fixer is the better way to go with Manhunt, as it automatically fixes the gate issue, AI issues, and sound issues. This guide will still be up for the time being, but I recommend you go down that route.

Gate Fix Download

Go here, [community.pcgamingwiki.com] download the ZIP and drag the contents called "link.exe, Manhunt Fix.bat, mspdb80.dll, patchrun.bat" into your Manhunt folder in your Steam game files.

Gate Fix Install

Once the "link.exe, Manhunt Fix.bat, mspdb80.dll, patchrun.bat" files are in the Manhunt folder, run Manhunt Fix.bat and another command prompt will show up, press enter.

Credit for the original patch goes out to AJ Collins, the original patch creator.

For Windows 7+

First, to get Manhunt to launch without a DirectX 8.1 error, you need to go to Windows search and search "Turn Windows features on or off" and scroll down to Legacy Components and click the plus next to it. Then, go ahead and check DirectPlay and click okay. This will install it and let the game work.

The game is supposed to use v-sync to cap the framerate to prevent the AI from having issues, but due to the game being DirectX 8, this is broken on anything higher than Windows 7. So, we need to get a wrapper to wrap the calls of the game from DX8 to DX9.

I have opted to include a link to a widescreen fix made by the excellent ThirteenAG[github.com] to serve this purpose. Simply download Manhunt.WidescreenFix.zip and Manhunt.WidescreenFrontend.zip and drag both files into your game's main directory.

Another issue with recent operating systems is certain sounds (such as the crapper one) looping over and over again, "Manhunt.AudioFix" by ermaccer fixes this issue. First, go here[github.com] and download the latest release and extract it into the scripts folder made by the widescreen fix.

Now, try to run Manhunt, and go ahead comment and tell me if this works for you. If it does, make sure rate the guide five stars. If not, leave a comment with the steps you took to install the fixes.
