Fixing Crash After Cut Scene in Hitman Absolution

Dec 2, 2012 by     2 Comments    Posted under: Gaming, Software

While playing through Hitman: Absolution I ran into a bug which was occurring at the start of the Birdie’s Gift chapter, in which the game would crash and return to the desktop after the first of two cut scenes.

To fix this try running the game in windowed mode instead of full screen mode until the cut scenes has finished and then switch back to full screen mode to continue playing as normal.

If this doesn’t work for you some people have suggested the following (though this did not work for me):

  1. Exit the game
  2. Right click Hitman: Absolution in Steam and click properties.
  3. In the window that appears click the Local Files tab
  4. In the Local Files tab click on the third button down, labelled “Verify Integirty of Game Cache…” (see below).

  • what if i get the game not from steam?
    so i do not found local files tab in my steam,,then hows that?

    • If you don’t have it on Steam then the second method will not be possible for you to do. The best you can do is to backup your save game data and reinstall.

      Give the first method a try though, it was the only thing that worked for me!

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
