can somebody describe me how to instal patch so the game can work with DT4.03+cure rom combination. Thanx!


first, if you are using the crack, replace it by the original .exe, then install the patch normally after that curerom will stop working but you can still use ASR(secure rom loader v1.2) you can get it on daemons site, just place asr.exe on the same folder as BM then
you execute asr it will show a dialog for you to choose what to start, choose the hitman executable and thats it, you could also edit your hitman shortcut so it would be like this

on target: "E:\Program Files\Eidos\Hitman Blood Money\asr.exe" -r E:\Program Files\Eidos\Hitman Blood Money\HitmanBloodMoney.exe of course you need to change the driver letter for your own

if it still does not work do as werdercanuck said, move the file ENCVAG.DLL from your hitman folder, just move it don't delete it in case it end up giving you any problems.

I was having problems running it with ASR/Daemon tools 4.03 and it was the problem I thought it was all along. Open your Acohol 120%, unmount all your drives, and run hitman. (dont forget to mount in d-tools! Smile)

Worked for me, securom was detecting alcy.

Ok, so is this what I have to do:
1. Instal game with DT4.03
2. Instal the patch 1.1
3. Copy reloaded crack over BM in program files
4. then copy that asr file to program files where BM is.
5. then click on the .asr file inside BM folder and choose hitman.exe
6. game starts normaly with the patch aplied to it

Is that the correct way, or should I, instead of reloaded crack use cure-rom to mount in there too???

Please, describe me because I am going crazy with this!!!

Also, do I have to edit that hitman shortcut because I dont have idea how to do that?!?!?


I just found out that there is another way to do it and that is - instal the game, instal the patch, copy reloaded crack in the the BM folder in program files , and then game suposibly works ok...is that truth or no and where does it says whats the game version (1.0 or 1.1) when the game starts???

No, don't copy the 1.0 crack to the game dir... lemme edit your list directly:

1. Install game with DT4.03
2. Install the patch 1.1
3. Copy asr.exe to Blood Money directory
4. Click on asr.exe file inside BM folder and choose hitmanbloodmoney.exe
5. Game starts normally

If you want it so that you don't have to take that extra step of opening asr.exe and then selecting hitmanbloodmoney.exe you can make a shortcut to asr.exe, right click on it, hit Properties, then under the Target field, add the following to the end of whats already there

-r C:\Program Files\Eidos\Hitman Blood Money\HitmanBloodMoney.exe

Assuming thats where Hitman is located on your system.

thanks hamakazie, I'm no good at explaining stuff heh, anyway mikelebg that's pretty much what you'll have to do, also about editing/making the shortcut, that's not actually needed, it's only something that'll make starting the game easier.

and just to make this clear enough, the patched game will not work with the suplied crack, eventually a crack for version 1.1 will come out though.

Thank you everybody, I made it! The game with this patch on my configuration with almost everything on high in video settings works much better...Before this patch, with these settings I had about 30-40 fps, after I instaled the patch the frame rate is 60-70, huge difference. My advice to everybody is to instal this patch, its awesome!

my game is crashing during 'till death do us part'. i haven't had any problems with crashing until this mission. i can't finish this one because it does it every time.

i'm thinking my video card is overheating, as i've had that problem before. but only when i forget to turn up the fan. i have my fan running at 100% and it is still crashing.

i tried putting all gfx settings on low, and changed resolution to 800x600. did not help.
i have patched the game.

running an x850xt, pentium d, 2.8ghz, 1 gig ram.
write combining is enabled, and fastwrite is on.

tried latest omega drivers.
and tried latest catalyst drivers.

since this upgrade in drivers i seem to crash on all missions now, video card is resetting.
doesn't "look" like its overheating 'cause my temp is maxing at 78 degrees

any other advice?

78 degrees C or F?(I'm gessing F cuz 78ºC is a whole lot, actually it should be allmost melting heh.)

can't really give you any feedback on this since I haven't got to that mission meself

its only the game that crashs or your whole system freezes?

i'm not posative but probably c, i'm using ati tray tools to monitor temp. gpu and environmental temp seem to stay around 56. normally.

while playing cod2 with all settings on high temp runs at around 75.

and yes it's only the game that crashes, not the whole system.

75C on a video card under load is normal. My X1900XTX runs at around 48-50C idle and 70-75C under load.

And 78F = 25C... pretty damn impossible to reach on a GPU nowadays unless you run some really heavy cooling.

under full load, as in oblivion or condemned, My 7800gt only gets at the max, 58C. with no load it stays at 40C. This is with a 470/1100 from 400/1000 OC. My computer generally runs pretty cool Very Happy This is on air btw. Yeah 25C is LOW..... Just so you know, coolbits says that my GPU's temp threshold is 115C before it automaticly underclocks itself. So in comparison, 78C is nothing. thoguhg with a temp that high you could be risking your GPU's lifespan.

There is still no way to get rid of the frame-rate problem if I'm using Reloaded's version?
