Hitman 2 Demo

Be sure to try this demo, it's great...too bad it's so short

Btw, there seems to be some compatibility issues with NVIDIA video cards & Creative Audigy sound cards:

* If you have a NVIDIA card and get corrupted graphics, you should use drivers older than the 30-series Detonator drivers (e.g., version 28.32).
* If you have a Creative Audigy sound card and are experiencing audio 'glitches', you should be able to fix this by turning down hardware acceleration.

Those 'tips' were sent to us by Eidos Interactive Producer Neil Donnell, so I guess you can trust him

I am getting a MS C++ RunTime error message box, the message is simply: "Abnormal program termination."

I am using a SB Audigy and an ATI VIVO 64MB DDR vid Card.

Any suggestions?

FYI, I have downloaded and installed the demo 2x, same results.

There are several problems with gfx cards with this demo - not only for NVIDIA. Apparently Eidos is aware of this and they will release an updated demo in early september. Of course, u can count on us to bring it to you as soon as it's available

I'm probably just stupid but I've been having a problem with selecting an action when there are multiple choices in the box. If I just press the key I have bound, then the first action is done. If I press and hold, the box just flickers really fast and the first action is repeated in quick succession(ie: opening and closing doors). I have the same problem with almost all of my binds. When I push my key for stealth, he crouches and stands up over and over really fast. Does anyone know what might cause this?
