Fix Hitman Absolution Launch Error on Windows 11 / Corrigir erro ao abrir Hitman Absolution no Windows 11.
By refresh
In this guide I will help solve a problem that occurred to me, where the game would not open when I pressed play, simply nothing happened. I believe this is a compatibility issue with Windows 11.

Neste guia, vou ajudar a resolver um problema que ocorreu comigo, onde o jogo não abria quando eu clicava em jogar, simplesmente nada acontecia. Acredito que seja um problema de compatibilidade com o Windows 11.

1. Right-click on Hitman Absolution in your Steam library and go to Manage > Browse local files.
2. Right-click on HMA.exe and choose the Copy option, then right-click again and select Paste.
3. A file called HMA - Copy.exe will be generated. Rename it to Hitman Absolution.exe.
4. Right-click on Hitman Absolution.exe and go to Show more options > Send to > Desktop (Create Shortcut).
5. Now, go to your desktop and rename "Hitman Absolution.exe - Shortcut" to "Hitman Absolution". After that, just run the game from your desktop, and it should open normally.

If the Step-by-Step Guide Doesn’t Work, Extra Comments on Other Possible Solutions

Comment 1:
"If this doesn’t work, delete the HMA.exe.####.steamstart file. Or, if you did what the guide suggested and made a copy, then tried to run it, the file will appear as Hitman Absolution.exe.######.steamstart. I believe this file is created after attempting to start it through Steam normally for the first time. After deleting all instances of this file, the game worked."

Comment 2:
"Same problem (game doesn't start), this guide didn’t work for me. I fixed it by disabling the 'Sniper Challenge Unlock' DLC: the game started fine after that."

If the game doesn't resolve with these steps but you find other solutions, feel free to leave them below, and I'll add them to the guide. Let's all help each other, and thanks for the feedback!

Versão em Português

1. Clique com o botão direito em Hitman Absolution na sua biblioteca Steam e vá em Gerenciar > Explorar arquivos locais.

Adicional
Caso o Passo a Passo Não Funcione, Comentários Extras de Outras Possíveis Soluções

Comentário 1:
"Se isso não funcionar, exclua o arquivo HMA.exe.####.steamstart. Ou, se você seguiu o que foi sugerido no guia e fez uma cópia, tentando executá-la, o arquivo aparecerá como Hitman Absolution.exe.######.steamstart. Acredito que esse arquivo seja criado após a tentativa de iniciar o jogo através do Steam normalmente pela primeira vez. Após excluir todas as instâncias desse arquivo, o jogo funcionou."

Comentário 2:
"Mesmo problema (o jogo não inicia), esse guia não funcionou para mim. Resolvi assim: desativei o DLC 'Sniper Challenge Unlock': o jogo começou a iniciar normalmente depois disso."

Se o jogo não for resolvido com esses passos, mas você encontrar outras soluções, fique à vontade para deixá-las nos comentários abaixo, e eu as adicionarei ao guia. Vamos todos ajudar uns aos outros, e agradeço pelo feedback!

Same problem (game doesn't start), this guide doesn't work for me.

Have a good day.

If this don't work, delete the "HMA.exe.####.steamstart" or if you did what he did and made a copy then tried to run it, it'll say, "Hitman Absolution.exe.######.steamstart" It's a file that I believe is created after attempting to start it through steam normally the first time. After I deleted all instances of this file, it worked.
