Go to the Hitman Sniper Challenge installation folder and look for the Hitman Sniper Challenge .exe file and run it directly from there, rather than using the shortcut or client link.
Problem #6 Hitman Sniper Challenge Crash Fix – Hitman Sniper Challenge Crashes on Intel HD Graphics Card
Simply do a clean uninstall and reinstall of your Intel Graphics Driver. Check our Technical References page for proper and official downloads.
Problem #7 Hitman Sniper Challenge Texture Fix – Bad Textures, Texture Breaks, Texture Glitch on gaming laptop
This is only for gaming laptops, but could work for some PCs.

If your BIOS has the option, disable ‘Switchable Graphics’. This will remove your laptop PC’s ability to automatically switch between the onboard intel graphics card and the nVidia / ATI graphics chip, thus smoothening out gameplay.
