Does anyone play Max with a Geforce3 and XP (Rc1) ? Because i think there is a problem...some ppl..and me happen this, when you start a New Game you are kick back to the desktop, and to the tutorial the same thing happen.
I have start to "play" with the settings and change Material Variations ( CAN anyone tell me what this makes ), and what happen is that i´m able to play the tutorial and SaveGames, BUT again if i complete the level and move to the next one, same thing happen, i´m kick back to Desktop
Is there anyone with this problem, with a Geforce2 and XP ?
Thx.

The problem with Max Payne quitting while loading levels seems to be specific to Win2000 and WinXP users that run GeForce III cards. There is no solution at the moment, to the best of my knowledge. The game works fine in Win9x with a GF3.
I have tried using Software T&L and playing around with screen modes, but to no avail. Also tried every Nvidia driver from 12.4 onwards.
Anyone any ideas or info?

"THe problem is the Athlon, Geforce 3 and Windows 2000 or XP, which you stated your not using that config."
ok what part of gf3 and win2k did you miss?
("I fixed this issue yesterday on my buddies p3 1ghz & gf3 easily, it's called install the latest 14.20 drivers")
How can you say it's related to just Athlons? Was I imagining the computer kicking me out to the desktop on this p3 or was it the magical p3 that's really an AMD chip? Go read some of the forums it happens on p3 and p4 systems as well.
"Not a driver issue either, using the 12.41 and 12.90 neither one works"
Heh brilliant aren't you? Apparently you have selective eyesight and completely miss the obvious You seem to have missed the part where I said install the LATEST DRIVERS! Latest drivers = 14.20. I didn't say install the almost latest drivers or the not quite new drivers.
I'll repeat again
On a GEFORCE 3 that was CRASHING TO THE DESKTOP in WINDOWS 2000, I installed the 14.20 drivers, the LATEST ONES, and it worked flawless.

It hasn't been working for me, and it seems to be a compatibility error. I'm running Windows XP rc1, witha geforce 2 gts, sound blaster live!, etc. etc. and once I execute the game, it continues loading as the splash image appears and stays there... I've read the .plan and faq, and what I've got is:
SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS
Windows 95 (OSR2 or later), Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000.
Although Max Payne has been found to work on Windows XP, it has not been thoroughly tested and thus Windows XP is not officially supported. Additionally, Windows NT is not supported.
Sigh, I don't know if that means they'll have all compatibility issues fixed. I've tried running the game under different OS compatibility modes, too, but it doesn't seem to work.
Maybe one of you guys who know?

I have the same problem with a dual P3 system and a P4 system (both with GF3s) so it is not Athlon specific. I have also tried the 14.20 drivers with no luck at all.
I also should add, different compatibility modes lead to different results:
Win95/Win98: error message: "Debugger found... please unload and try again"
Win2k/winXp: Max Payne logo appears, then the computer loads forever until the game eventually stops responding
WinNT: error message: "please insert the correct cd-rom and try again"
I wouldn't think that I would encounter problems after upgrading to a P3 1ghz cpu

Some of you may be running into the POS Safedisc protection. A fix was released last month not sure how well it works tho: http://www.macrovision.com/solutions/software/fix.php3
If you get errors in your event log when running a game with Safedisc protection try this patch.
Sigh. The trials of getting games to work due to sloth & greed.

no go
If I had to choose between Windows XP and Max Payne, I would most likely choose Max Payne... but, alas, XP is the only OS I have. I guess this situation is like the poor saps who have problems with their voodoo cards on Windows XP.... it works for some, doesn't for others... it could be an entirely random occurance.
Still, I'd love to get this working, I've been a fan of Max Payne since the beginning
I just hope somebody out there has a way to fix it
