Does anyone here have Hitman 2 and a Windows 10 and can tell me that the game is fully functional?

I have the Steam version and am wondering the same thing. I absolutely cannot get it to work, and it was fine on Windows 8.1.

For those who don't want to read the whole page, basically:
Open the Hitman2.ini file (if you've started the game at least once, it's in the same folder as the Hitman 2 executable), and change DrawDll RenderD3D.dll to DrawDll RenderOpenGL.dll
That's it. Should work perfectly now.
The problem is, under DDraw, there's no framerate limit (I couldn't even force one with an Nvidia profile), and with today's graphics cards, it gets to insane quadruple digit framerates, which breaks the game. Setting it to OpenGL caps the framerate at 60 FPS.
Now, there will probably be some mild graphical glitches and you can't use the anti-aliasing option for some reason, but this is THE way to get the game to work with anything resembling a modern PC.

You can use this patch for correct widescreen fov D3d and RTSS to limit frame rate

The viewing window will be incorrect without the patch.

I have changed the line to DrawDll RenderOpenGL.dll. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem for me.
Setting the game resolution in the file to 800x600 was another idea I had, but it didn't solve the problem either.
The cutscenes are faulty and are not played correctly, if I get to see them at all. Most of the time I only see a black screen. And when I have managed to get into the game, I have not been able to move the character.
More solutions to this problem?
I have Win 11

You don't need to do the OpenGL thing, following the above link to download a directX converter and changing the .ini render option back to RenderD3D is the way to go. You download the zip file, open it and paste the non-.txt files into the root folder for the game, paste 'RenderD3D' back into the Hitman2.ini file, save it, and that's that - no more graphics issues.
(my issue started in Anathema, Agent47 and all of the NPCs was a textureless black silhouette using OpenGL, now he's got textures no matter where the camera points, etc)

Hey guys, just mad a review on how to get the game to work. since this site is not letting me post links right now I wrote in the reviews section. Gave the game five stars and the youtube video has the link you need from github. I used the don't know how to download link and after that just go to config in the game file and set the resolution to your pc's
