Anyone having problems with Max Payne and a Kyro II 4500

[lastig21]

I've got a computer here with a 1 gig tbird, kt133a mobo, and a kyro II 4500. When selecting the display mode, I don't have option to pick D3D hardware, just software. All of this is running under Win2k with the latest KyroII drivers. When trying to run Max Payne, it makes it through the intro, but when it loads after that it closes back to the desk top. I've tried to install older drivers but Win2k is letting me yet. I think that will take some work. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and found a solution. Any suggestions would be helpful as well.

You need the Max Payne v1.01 patch. It's not just a problem for people with Kyro2 cards I believe- I don't know why it does that. When I installed the patch, the problem went away.

Let me see if I can find a link for ya.

Get the max payne patch here.

Wow, thanks for the amazingly fast response and link. I had the very symptoms the patch claims to fix. Hopefully it will work (on a 56k so it will be awhile)

No problem.

It should work, I didn't know wtf was going on either. I thought maybe my RAM timings were too high or my RAM wasn't getting enough juice for the timings. Then I thought, well, maybe it's a botched install so I uninstalled and reinstalled it like 4 times. Then I found the stupid patch!
