DNR3 · Post by **DNR3** » 25 Apr 2012, 02:12

Hi all

I found in another forum a possible fix for MP2 but the link for the necessary files is broken, so i was wondering if someone here have the files for this >:

also, could it work with max payne 1 too? because Increasing the FOV isn't what i want :l

How did you do that? Please share the solution.
I still play this game, but in a window.

Yeah all fixed - altho there is one small problem, "viewports" through doors clip when they are 75% ish away from the center monitor, eg. turned 90 degrees away from a open door for example - if your looking at the center monitor you can't actually notice it tho suprisingly - unless your specifically focusing on it, but thats how the eyes works i guess.

So, HaYDeN, will the patch be finished and will it work on the first one? Thx in adv. for answer.

Could Hayden please supply an answer to the questions that were raised by the previous poster 'RT' as I'd also like to know when to expect your patch to be released and if theres any chance we'll see a patch for the original Max Payne too.
We look forward to your response.

With no clipping issues? probably never to be honest. The engine is simply too entwined in the 4:3 aspect ratio.

Will the patch be avail in the near future? Was considering replaying MP2 (i I can get i to run on Win7) but only if I can get it to look "normal" on 1920x1080 obviously :)

where is this patch?

Well, I wouldn't mind if it had a few issues, the games are old and aren't meant to be run in high-res. Besides, don't they appear only on multi-mon? If so, the patch is flawless for those, who want to simply run the game on a 16x916x10 monitor.

The patch is available in Flawless Widescreen - it is designed for the Steam version at this stage.

Flawless Widescreen

Also, it appears this particular patch, does not work on Windows 8 due to its odd use of 64bit kernel in 32bit processes (on 64bit version anyway)
