Robin-169 posted an excellent multilingual guide in English, German and Norwegian on installing and using the patch in a steam guide you can find here.Īll files modified are automatically backed up, so if you want to restore the game to it's original state you can run the fix again and use the ' - Restore game to unconverted' option or use steam's verify game option to re-download. You can also use ( - End.) option at this point to end the fix, and launch the game like you normally would, there is no need to launch it from the fix itself.

Press a key to continue and use the ( - Launch game.) option to play.

When it's done a big FINISHED message is displayed. Three files are going to be converted, so be patient if on an older machine.

Use the ( - Convert game.) option and wait a few minutes for it to finish.

In some cases converting is still possible, even with a red screen. If you are met by a red screen the fix could not find all needed files or the game might be incomplete, what is wrong exactly will be indicated. A green screen should appear, indicating all files needed for conversion are found.

The fix's main function -the conversion part- will unpack the game using the tools provided on the max payne cd release, ras-maker (it's spelled without the dash, but somehow the forums won't allow me to say 'rasmaker', so i'll use a dash from now on)and the rl.dll that belongs with it. But since these forums have been closed now, I'm reposting here in the new steam forum and as a steam guide. I posted my fix on the steam user forums (spuf) too, and supported it there. So, I picked up development of the fix again after a long period of silence, with the goal to make it work for everyone, including Steam and Windows7/8/10 users and others. The old fix attempted to fix that, by converting the original sounds to a format that does play right in Vista/Windows7/8/10, but it had some flaws, like leaving the game in an unpacked state, and not being compatible with mods.

The main issue is that if you install Max Payne (1) on Vista or Windows7/8/10 you will probably notice that most music, intro sound, cut-scene talks and many of the original in game sounds are missing.
