After a lot of experimentation, i finally figured out how to avoid getting spotted in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. The suspicion meter does not tell you this, but if enemies see your face they are much more likely to spot you and blow your disguise. What you must do is keep the camera looking away from the guards while you go past them. This way 47 head will face away from them and they won't be able to recognize him unless you are really really close. Of course, this only works 70% of the time, it's still somewhat random, but it's a viable way to fix the disguise system. I tried it many times, and every time i walked past a guard that would always spot me while not looking at them, they wouldn't spot me. It works even if you are pretty close to a guard. How did i figure this shit out? Because some guards in that India level where you need to kill the female doctor can only be sneaked past this way. They are way too close to you and will spot you 100% of the time if your head faces them. I had to figure this shit out in order to get Silent Assassin rating on that level.

That "guard" in the Market in India is supposed to be the assassin looking for you. I guess they wanted to make it feel like he was hunting you down but sometimes the AI glitches and never shoots at you and just follows you everywhere like a puppy. It actually makes the mission easier cuz it hands the kill to you on a silver platter.

One of the best. This blew me away in 2002, how subtle & nuanced the gameplay was, demanded your patience & clever planning & refused to handhold you. Great weapons selection, shooting mechanics & awesome soundtrack! My favourite part was going back & playing as a straight shooter & holding down the trigger on the M60 whilst immediately flicking to the binoculars- essentially creating a sniper version of the m60. Brilliant stuff! The AI was a bet buggy but it definitely rewarded your patience - I unlocked all the hidden weapons (22SD, sawn off, Ballers SD, W2000, Custom Rifle & the M4 off the UN guards).

A lot of the bugs you're encountering are due to those third party fixes. If you change the FOV, resolution, and framerate from default, it can cause weird problems with AI spawns and people passing through walls. If you can get it locked at a lower framerate and play in 4:3 it may resolve some of those weird problems.

Nothing like poping headshot with silenced beretta, in close quaters, with enemy shocked by you having a gun. Or same thing but with pair of thunderstormy silverballers making people fly. That being said I don't have nearly as much problem with AI as most players.

Loved the video man, but here are a few tips for the Japan levels 1. Head into the second entrance to the tunnels and take out the guard wth the anesthetic and when someone checks your ID, just tap click to give them a quick dose and run and do that for every guard that asks yo for your ID. Its cheap, but it works 2. The snipers seeing you does not equal an alert 3. In Shogun Showdown, head through the secret door and walk on the beams instead of the boards to avoid the sounds and then sneak around the guards to get to a room with clothes. Use the silent run trick to get past the guards at the top of the tower. The silent assassin rankings are achievable, but not with intended mechanics which sucks

I've been playing the Silent Assassin on Xbox 360 and weirdly "Shogun Showdown" has the opposite problem to the PC version, it's too easy! The guards & ninjas don't seem to react to you at all as long as you're wearing a disguise, and you can stroll all the way through the building to the top floor without a single alert. I figured it had to be bugged as they make such a point of telling you to move around without making any noise. Other missions have similar bugs to the PC though, like the trucks not moving in Hidden Valley. I think that level is a nightmare on any platform.

the detection ai is actually insane this game. You cant run near enemies, you cant let your face be seen by the enemies, you cant be near enemies for too long. They get super suspicious very quickly, especially on higher difficulties. The best way to use a disguise is walk really far away out of the vision of enemies. but at that point, better to just use the suit. unless its in levels where cameras are on you and you need disguises to enter an area.

Great video and I can give you an explanation for many of the bugs that you have been experiencing with ai, as someone who has played this game hundreds of times on PS2. So if you take a look at your map in any area while you are alone in a room with ai near you, above or below you, you will see them face in One Direction, now try running about 3 ft. Now take a look at your map again you'll notice that the AI has turned to face you regardless of what floor you are on and even though walls separate you. This bothered me so much because if there is any enemy in your vicinity regardless of what floor you're on, and they are suspicious in any way of anything, if you begin running they will immediately run after you even though they can't actually see you, and they will pinpoint the trace of your footsteps as you run. I hope this helps you understand how the AI worked and Hitman 2, and it is something that really bothered me but I was still really love this game. Thanks for the video of man!

The Petersburg levels I found beautiful and I liked the music and James Bond reference. I don't think they are too sparsely populated - in fact it is winter there, and having lived in a northern country, I can tell you that not many people like to be outside. Besides it would be pointless to have a bunch of civvies around that could spot you with the suspicion meter.

For future reference, you are allowed to kill one guard and still maintain silent assassin rating (at least on normal). I figured that out halfway through my playthrough and it helped a few times where the AI completely bugged out. I still wish I could’ve done the missions clean, but what can you do?

I've seen at least 3 lets plays of this game where EVERY mission is finished with Silent Assassin. Unless you just had a bad copy of the game it shouldn't be that difficult.

I think most of the AI problems you experienced (I did myself experienced them and it was awful) was due to this: Frame rates above 60 fps will cause NPCs to be more sensitive than intended and may affect pathing timing. Game is still playable at 144 fps, but issues may arise if attempting to play through a level with perfect stealth. So most likely you must lock framerate using nvidia control panel to 60 to avoid most of the issues.

I got SA rating on every mission way back on the ps2, I do remember the ninja levels were really tough to SA, but they're also some of my favorite. I wonder if the PC version has more ai glitches...

I've played this game several times in the past, and although it's been several years I don't remember it being buggy. I think that some of these bugs are related to the custom files you mention at around 1:15...
