Warnings

The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.

GameSpy online services have been shut down (see Network for solutions).

Max Payne 3 is a singleplayer and multiplayer third-person action and shooter game in the Max Payne series.

The OS X version suffers from multiple issues, one being the complete lack of multiplayer, due to the GameSpy services being shut down.^[3]

Letterboxed behavior example (16:10 resolution used).

Graphics feature	WSGF	Notes
Widescreen resolution		Aspect ratios other than 16:9 are letterboxed in non-engine cutscenes.
Multi-monitor
Ultra-widescreen		Displays incorrectly game UI, FMV and cutscenes. See here for fix Or use Lyall's fix here.
4K Ultra HD
Field of view (FOV)	Use Max Payne 3 FOV Fix. Default is 45° vertical; see FOV Calculator for help.
Windowed	Can also use the `-windowed` parameter.
Borderless fullscreen windowed	Install FusionFix.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)	Up to 16 samples.
Anti-aliasing (AA)	Low to Very High FXAA and up to 8x MSAA.
High-fidelity upscaling	See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Vertical sync (Vsync)	Double buffered in fullscreen mode, triple buffered in windowed mode. Alt-tabbing out of and back to fullscreen mode may change double buffering to triple buffering.^{[citation needed]}

MSAA is unusually demanding and not especially effective compared to other games. FXAA offers good results and far better performance.

Input

Keyboard and mouse	State	Notes
Remapping
Mouse acceleration		Has a toggle for positive mouse acceleration, however frame rate dependent negative mouse acceleration is always present.^[11]
Mouse sensitivity		The Y axis is 75% slower than X axis, a close to 1:1 aim can be achieved by having the in-game Y axis on "5" and the X axis on "3". A more precise 1:1 aim could be achieved by having both in-game axis at the same setting and using separate DPI values via supported mouse software (e.g. 1400 DPI on Y axis and 800 DPI on X axis).

Issues fixed

Freeze in the final cutscene

Update v1.0.0.255 from April 19, 2021, caused the final cutscene to become corrupted, causing the game to freeze 13 seconds into the cutscene.^[15]

Apply the final cutscene fix^[16]

Replaces corrupted cutscene with older non-corrupted one in the games' internal files.

Download Max Payne 3 final cutscene fix.
Extract the contents of the download to <path-to-game>.
Run apply.bat.

Unable to sign into Rockstar Games Social Club

Delete files^[17]
Go to `<path-to-game>`. Delete `maxpayne3_steam.ini`, `steam_api.dll` and `steam_appid.txt`. Verify integrity of game cache.

Game goes to pause menu randomly

This error is caused by Device Manager refresh (either random, or when device is plugged in or out).^[18]^[19]

Apply FusionFix^{[citation needed]}

Game crashes with StackHash_XXX Error

Fix Data Execution Prevention setting^{[citation needed]}
Ensure Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is set to the default (Windows programs and services only).

Requires Service Pack 1

The game may show the error message 'Requires Service Pack 1 or superior'.

Requires Service Pack 1^[20]

Right click maxpayne3.exe in <path-to-game> and set the compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

Notes

Running maxpayne3.exe as an administrator may also fix the problem.

Asus software

Asus software 'Smart Doctor' or 'Asus Gamer' may cause crashing.

Uninstall Asus software^{[citation needed]}

New York Minute Hardcore troubleshooting and glitches

This mode can reveal few glitches which can be encountered during gameplay, resulting in being unable to finish the game.

List:

Fighting with Passos is not necessary when enemies are searching the balcony (waiting until they are gone is advised). There is a place with painkillers ahead. [Stadium, PT I CH III].
Fabiana dies during shooting from boat during final cutscene (shooting on the enemies from the left side is recommended, as killing her accidentally on low brightness is possible) [Stadium, PT I CH III].
IT man gets shot if going down the stairs (killing all enemies first is required - bullet cam must appear).
Infinite loading of Branco’s office PT 2 (disappears after few NYMHC attempts, trying to not skip prior cutscenes may help against this).
Enemies stop to respawn, doors are closed, in Favela PT 1 (if flipping all the time through the section leading to enemy with flare, and if running too fast when spotting him from distance - staying where one is when seeing him until he disappears and when he shoots the flare is suggested).
Rare case when picking up shotgun in a chapel in the very end of the level is impossible [PT 2 CH VIII].
Shooting enemies in the helicopter during cutscene of Favela PT 2 is impossible (1. If having no ammo left for M972 2. If picking up M972 after enemy).
Destroying the aforementioned helicopter is impossible (if shooting only once in the rocket later - even when bullet cam appeared, failing when rocket does not explode is inevitable).
Caps lock, num lock, scroll lock are not registered as pressed, during melee fight in the end of Favela PT II level (using them as any of primary keys is discouraged - only as secondary).
Game is glitched when getting hit while shooting Desert Eagle on a rope (probably while shooting very fast and inaccurate while having infinite clip in this interactive cutscene) [Boat, PT III, CH XI].
Death occurs after the end of the armoured-truck-defence cutscene (if pressing W while the cutscene is shown - key pressing is still registered during the cutscene - as a result, leaning out from the cover when the truck is shooting instantly after the end of cutscene is possible) [Police Station, PT III, CH XIII].
Glitched enemy death camera (enemy does not die) if getting hit by the enemy running out after beep signal, after the sequence of shooting at distant enemies on the rooftop (if shooting from behind cover with mesh fence) [PT III, CH XIII].
Shooting with Desert Eagle with no ammo during train jump cutscene in the end level (if not replacing this weapon in second slot from the beginning; immediately after the bullet time cutscene, there will still be no ammo just like before cutscene) [PT III, CH XIV].
Rare falling under map glitch in airport level (one of the custom libraries might cause it, e.g. SweetFX, ddraw, dsound or slow HDD).
Random crashes during the game (some fixes might include using Steam in offline mode, setting CPU/GPU clocks to stock values, or restarting computer before playing).

Notes

If using the no cutscenes script, carefully read notes here.

Crash when selecting Hoboken Alleys map in Dead Men Walking mode^[21]

Apply FusionFix

Ultra widescreen mode is broken

Apply MaxPayne3Fix

Notes

To use this alongside this FOV Fix, rename the ASI Loader's dinput8.dll to d3d11.dll, d3d10.dll or d3d9.dll.

Mods

Max Payne 3 Script Hook and trainer/mod menu

English Subtitles for Portuguese Dialogues

Enables English translation for Portuguese-speaking enemies.

KTMXHancer

High quality texture modification + Lighting Reshade Mod^[24]

Skip in-game cutscenes

Apply Cutscene Skipper^[25]

Download Cutscene Skipper.
Extract the contents of the download to <path-to-game> (Cutscenes will now have a prompt in the lower right indicating to press ENTER to skip).

Notes

This mod significantly improves replayability as the game contains lots of cutscenes.

Intro cutscene cannot be skipped the very first time the game is booted, even with the mod. Once a new game is started, then the cutscenes can be skipped.

This mod hasn't been thoroughly tested by the community. Reload from checkpoint or press F9 to go back to main menu in case an issue occurs after skipping a cutscene.

Known issue: if the cutscene before the final boss fight is skipped and Max dies during this boss fight, the game will softlock on a black screen.^[26]

Just by simply binding the Mouse Input with Controller Inputs (i.e playing on Steam Deck), I've noticed that despite selecting Free Aim and disabling both Target Tracking and Target Slowdown: Aim Assistance can still be activated. it's apparent when using Shootdodge or Explosion-based Weapons like Grenade Launcher.

As of this writing: I have no idea if Hardcore Free Aim is affected as I only have access to it on Multiplayer at the moment.

+{{ii}} Intro cutscene cannot be skipped the very first time the game is booted, even with the mod. Once a new game is started, then the cutscenes can be skipped.
-{{ii}} In chapter eight, right at the end, in the area where Max and Passos emerge from the morgue and have to deal with the guy up on the balcony (the room with the red carpets and curtains), the area fails to load here if you skip the cutscene, forcing you to reload the checkpoint.
+{{--}} This mod hasn't been thoroughly tested by the community. Reload from checkpoint or press {{key|F9}} to go back to main menu in case an issue occurs after skipping a cutscene.
