Max Payne 3 is a graphically advanced game, with a range of features that can have a substantial impact on the way the game looks, and how smoothly it plays on your. I'm using the original retail game with 1.01 patch. Max Payne 2 Widescreen Fix Max Payne 2 doesn't have a dsound.dll by default in. Max Payne 2 Widescreen Fix. I've tried the MaxPayne321x9FIX.EXE (from the first link) today on the current Steam version of the game (1.0.0.196) and the fix works. To apply it though you have to do one extra step after running the patch. Working procedure: Start the game, wait until the main menu has loaded. Can anyone give me a link to a working widescreen fix for Max Payne? I got the sound issues worked out, but the stretched 16:9 image blows. I'd really love to play this game again.

Enhancement Project

Cult classic 3D shooters Max Payne 1 & 2, developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Gathering of Developers and RockStar Games in 2001 & 2003. Despite their age, these two first Max Payne games are still well worth playing. They have decent graphics due to their distinct style, and their engine and game mechanics are still great. They do however have some shortcoming on newer computer systems. This small guide will fix some basic issues and add support for modern hardware, plus optionally add some new features.
