Max Payne is a singleplayer third-person action, shooter and TPS game in the Max Payne series.
The game has few issues running on Windows Vista and later, see Missing audio for more details.
Also to prevent the game from locking up during startup, the unofficial startup hang patch should be applied.
For users with AMD Zen 2/3-based processors, the game doesn't work by default.[3][4] See JPEG errors on AMD Zen 2/3-based CPUs for a fix.

Remove broken Adaptive Difficulty
- The adaptive difficulty feature in the game's standard difficulty mode ("Fugitive") is broken, and does not account for player deaths properly. This results in the difficulty escalating and then remaining on the hardest values, making certain scenarios more difficult than other difficulties. No other difficulty in-game uses adaptive difficulty.
Replace the difficulty.txt file with this one[10]
