How do I use the benchmark test?
The benchmark test helps you determine Hitman: Absolution's performance on your Mac under the game's current graphics settings.
To start the benchmark test, select Start Benchmark from the Options menu (Main Menu → Options).
Once the test has finished, a dialog will appear displaying the minimum, maximum and average FPS (frames per second) that the game ran at during the test. The higher the FPS, the better the game's performance.
To end the benchmark test and return to the Main Menu, select OK.
To increase the FPS, adjust your graphical options via the Video tab in the pre-game Options window or within the game under Options → Display and Options → Graphics, accessible from the Main Menu.
Lowering the graphics settings is likely to increase the FPS at which the game runs, but reduce the visual quality. Use the settings to find a balance between performance and appearance.

Turn the switch on the pad to “D”.
Plug the pad or wireless receiver back in.
Restart the Hitman: Absolution application.
You will now be able to play Hitman: Absolution with the gamepad.
My short keyboard does not have certain keys. How can I use the game commands that are mapped to them?
Short Apple keyboards do not have Home (↖), End (↘), Page Up (⇞), Page Down (⇟) or Delete (⌦) keys.
In order to use game commands that are mapped to these keys, you will need to use the Function (fn) key as follows:
Home (↖) = Function (fn) key + Left Arrow (◀) key
End (↘) = Function (fn) key + Right Arrow (▶) key
Page Up (⇞) = Function (fn) key + Up Arrow (▲) key
Page Down (⇟) = Function (fn) key + Down Arrow (▼) key
Delete (⌦) = Function (fn) key + Backspace (←) key
How do I stop the dock, notifications and the desktop cursor from appearing while I'm playing Hitman: Absolution?
The dock or notifications may occasionally appear while you are playing Hitman: Absolution, or the desktop cursor may replace the game cursor. This can disrupt a game.
You can prevent them from occurring by checking the Hide the Dock (disables notifications) checkbox in the Hitman: Absolution pre-game Options window. To do so, follow these steps:
From the Hitman: Absolution pre-game Options window, select the Advanced tab.
Check the Hide the Dock (disables notifications) checkbox.
Is Hitman: Absolution optimized for Retina displays?
Yes.
If you have a Retina display, you will be able to take advantage of the extra pixels by running Hitman: Absolution in native resolution. This means that the game will display one pixel for every pixel on your display.
To do this, follow these instructions:
From the Hitman: Absolution pre-game Options window, select the Video tab.
Select the largest resolution from the Resolution drop-down menu to play the game in native Retina resolution.
Click the Play button. The game will start in native Retina resolution.
NOTE: In many cases, increasing your game's resolution will impact upon its performance. For tips on improving performance, read the Performance Tips point in the ReadMe. For information on how video settings affect performance in Mac games, read our Guide to video settings.

From the Hitman: Absolution pre-game Options window, select the Video tab.
Check the Run in a window checkbox.

Where are my saved games stored?
Your saved games are stored in your game's preferences folder.
To open this folder, click the Open Preferences Folder button in the Info/About tab of the pre-game Options window.
You can also navigate to the preferences folder manually. It is stored in the Feral Interactive folder in your computer's ~/Library/Application Support folder (where the '~' symbol refers to your home directory).
By default, the Library folder is hidden from your Finder. To open it, follow these instructions:
Open the Finder.
Open the Go menu from the main toolbar.
Hold down the Alt (⌥) key. The Library option will appear.
Click on the Library option. The Library folder will open in your Finder.
When I press the Function keys (F1-F19) nothing happens. How do I use the Function keys?
By default, Mac OS X uses the F keys to control items such as volume and brightness. To use an F key for a game command hold down the fn key, then press the F key you wish to use.
To automatically enable the F keys, follow these steps:
Open System Preferences ( Menu → System Preferences).
Click on Keyboard or Keyboard and Mouse (depending on the version of Mac OS X you are running).
Select the Keyboard tab.
Check the Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys checkbox.
The F keys will now work without using the fn key.
Can I play this game on a case-sensitive file system?
No. Hitman: Absolution has been tested with the basic formatting option for Mac OS X, which is HFS+. This system is not case-sensitive and identifies files by name without checking capitalization.
The capitalization of filenames is not consistent throughout the game. While this will not always prevent the game from running on case-sensitive file systems, it may lead to crashes and other unpredictable behaviour.
If you have to run a case-sensitive setup and you experience problems with Hitman: Absolution, please install the game on a standard formatted partition or read/write disk image. In most cases this will allow you to play the game on your machine.
Hitman: Absolution runs slowly on my computer. Is there anything I can do to increase the speed?
There are several factors which have an impact on the speed at which Hitman: Absolution runs. Please see the Hitman: Absolution Performance Tips section in the ReadMe for ways to increase the speed at which the game runs on your computer.
How do I take screenshots in Hitman: Absolution?
To take screenshots while playing Hitman: Absolution you should use the following key command:
Command (⌘) + Shift (⇧) + P
When you press all three keys at once, a single image of the on-screen contents will be saved in the Feral Interactive folder in your computer's ~/Pictures folder (the '~' symbol refers to your home directory).
The JPEG image contains metadata in a string in the following format.
GameName/Version Number (OS Version; CPU Speed; Installed RAM; Video RAM; Current Graphics Card)For example in Hitman: Absolution the string might look a little like this:
Hitman: Absolution/1.0 (macOS 10.14.4; 3.0; 8.0; 4.0; AMD Radeon R9 M395X)This information can be easily removed by exporting the screenshot into a different format using Preview or another image editing tool. Newest adobe photoshop mac.

Warnings & Ratings
Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
Hitman Absolution For Pc
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Precautions to take during use
