HITMAN 2 - Update 2.12 & Maintenance

Update 2.12 will arrive on December 18 and we expect it to be approximately 1GB – 1.2GB on all platforms.

We’ll be taking the HITMAN 2 servers offline for maintenance starting at 11am UTC on December 18, to prepare for the release of the game update. We’re expecting to have the servers back online again at 2pm UTC.

PC Specific Improvements *

Go to Map Press the M key to go directly to map, do not pass Challenges, do not collect $200. You can also choose to bind it to another key in the Options menu.

Screenspace Shadows We've added a new Graphics Option; Screenspace Shadows. Toggle on to give high quality shadow detail.

Reflection Quality We've added a new Graphics Option; Reflection Quality. Toggle off, low, default or high to control the resolution of the rendered reflections in mirrors and floors.

Motion Blur We've added a new Graphics Option; Motion Blur. Toggle off, low, default or high to give a smoother look.

Dynamic Sharpening We've added a new Graphics Option; Dynamic Sharpening. This option counters effects caused by temporal anti-aliasing.

**SLI Performance ** We've fixed an issue that could cause performance drops for players using NVIDIA cards with SLI enabled.

Simulation Separation In the release notes for our previous update, we included a new option called "Simulation Quality." In this update, we've split this option into two; Graphical Simulation and Audio Simulation, allowing players to take advantage of the audio improvements but without affecting their GFX performance.

Steam Trading Cards We've added support for Steam Trading Cards, including badges, profile backgrounds and emoticons.
