How To Make Hotline Miami 2: The Wrong Number Actually Start Up

If you have issues with starting up Hotline Miami 2: The Wrong Number. Then there is one quick and easy solution you can do in about a couple of seconds that can actually start up your game in no time.

Step One: Right Click On Hotline Miami 2: The Wrong Number and Click On Properties

In the first step in this guide, all you have to do is to right click on Hotline Miami 2: The Wrong Number and click on the properties.

And also, please don't ask me why I have OBS Studio on Steam, because that isn't really important at all. The important thing here is that we're trying to make your copy of Hotline Miami 2 to actually start up and play.

Step Two: Type Something In The Launch Options

When you have done the first step in the guide and the properties screen shows up.

You have to type this, "-gl" (without the quotes) in the launch options.

After this, start Hotline Miami 2: The Wrong Number, if you actually want to or not.

Step Three or THE FINAL STEP: Have Fun!

Well, you have actually launched the game finally, after maybe a lot of hours or minutes.

And now, you could start up a new game, and experience the final chapter of the Hotline Miami Duology (there would not be a third one) or play some funny levels that came from the workshop like that Garfield campaign or Shrek campaign.

Here I will share you the links to those campaigns.

Garfield Campaign: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1195921106
Shrek Campaign: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1519375781

You should play these campaigns, because they're really funny and all. But I recommend you to play the main game here before doing the campaigns from the Steam Workshop.

Also, when you exit the game and see a black screen, press the esc key and that will get rid of the boring black screen and let you go back to your typical screen.

[TheLeoGabe]

Well, I've tried, but I feel like you should try to discuss this in the discussions of Hotline Miami 2, since there is maybe moderators that can actually help you and make your copy start up.

[TheLeoGabe]
