Max Payne is a series of games ahead of their time in many ways. In it, in one of the first, they began to use serious, non-ironic plots, in addition, to devote a lot of time to their stylization and presentation. It is not surprising that even 10 years after the release, users are still striving to install the old game on new systems and go through it again.
Instructions
Step 1
The first part of the game works stably on Windows98 and XP when you have the latest version of DirectX and audio drivers installed. If the game refuses to work under these conditions, first of all, purchase the licensed version, because pirated ones contain many defects, and it is because of them that the project may not start. Try setting compatibility mode with Windows 98 if the problems persist - this may be required for certain hardware configurations.
Step 2
When playing on Windows Vista or 7, a number of bugs and errors can occur. If the game refuses to start at the root (or crashes after the first video) - install patch 1.05, it solves the OS compatibility problems. The second popular mistake is that the game does not reproduce sound: this problem is solved by installing a "fix", which is easy to find on thematic forums. This fix does not change the sound in the game, it only converts it to a different format, so the use of the patch will not affect the quality of the product in any way. Other, smaller problems (often individual for each user) are solved by running the compatibility mode.
Step 3
Bugs in MaxPayne 2 are fixed in the same way. To make the game work on new machines, you will need to download and install the latest patch released by the developers. In this case, the patch is placed exclusively on the licensed version of the game, because conflicts with localization and lack of protection on pirated discs.
Step 4
Download RePack. If you are not sure that you can install and download all the necessary updates and bookmarks yourself, download the ready-made RePack version. In fact, you will be presented with a kit made exclusively by fans: it will immediately contain two parts of the game with all possible fixes and fixes - the user will only have to launch a shortcut on the desktop. However, please note that although it works, this version is pirated and illegal.
