Premium Ghoul

This game has the unfortunate Unity Engine 50Hz tick rate issue, so you need to set your screen to 50Hz to make the game run smoothly.
Some text uses a very thin pixel font that can be hard to read sometimes.

You'll need to set the in-game v-sync to "2" in order to get a consistent experience. On an LCD this will cap to 30 FPS and 45 FPS on OLED. Avoid using SteamOS's FPS cap as it adds an enormous amount of input lag to this game in particular. Battery life varies a lot; Ambrose Island and Mendoza are very heavy maps and will make your Deck ramp up the fans.
The minimap is very difficult to parse. I found the rest of the text to be readable.
For those who are interested in mods, here's a quick guide to getting Simple Mod Framework working in Linux:
- Install Hitman and Simple Mod Framework (SMF) on your Windows PC.
- Download and configure any mods you like and then deploy them on the PC.
- Once that's done, copy the SMF folder from your Hitman folder onto a USB.
- In Desktop Mode on your Steam Deck, plug in your USB and copy the SMF folder to the Hitman folder. You can easily find this by opening Steam in Desktop Mode, right clicking on Hitman World of Assassination, click on Manage, then Browse Local Files.
- Add a Non-Steam Game, click Browse, and navigate to the SMF folder.
- Add "Deploy.exe" to Steam, right click and go to Properties, enable it to run through whatever the latest version of Proton is.
- Run Deploy.exe in Steam and a console window will pop up as your mods are now applied, just as they were in Windows.
- The window will close once it's finished. After that go back to Gaming Mode and your mods will now work!
