how about ATI users? do both games work fine on win 7 64 bits? need to know before this 4 hour sale ends!

Can confirm that updating to the latest official NVIDIA drivers fixes any issues with the game "loading" but not actually launching. Windows 7, 64 bit with a GTX 260.

@DarkjeThe2nd (custom resolution)

Thank you, that is exactly why I'm here. Why the hell wouldn't 1600x1200 be on that list.

Im a laptop user and having the latest version for geforce 9600M GT and the game doesnt start. Using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Guess I'll just have to wait for new driver update or something.

DarkjeThe2nd · 05-01-2010, 08:12 AM

if your driver version is 196.75 to 197.34 that could be the problem. you could use an earlier one or try an unofficial one.

I'm guessing you are on 197.16? and I've spotted 197.44 nvidia mobile at forums.laptopvideo2go.com w7x64 here

I found that I wasn't being offered anything beyond 1200x... Then I checked the drop-down list for my graphics card, which was already set correctly. Although oddly it seemed it was a list of the same card twice. I selected the second one instead, and then all the resolutions were available to me.

Odd, but I wonder if it might work for anyone else.

Max Payne 1 is a bit buggy on Windows 7, but Max Payne 2 runs great. At least for me..

mathesar · 05-01-2010, 02:31 PM

Hm I cant get Max Payne 2 to launch in Win 7 64bit, I click it in Steam and the busy icon spins for a couple seconds, then nothing, no errors or messages.. using a gtx 260 and latest 197.45 nvidia driver.

EDIT: Sorry thought I was running 197.45 but it was 197.13.

Installing 197.45 fixed it!

So I got the retail version of Max Payne 1 installed and working on Win 7 x64.
I also have an X-FI sound card(so I had no in game sound). To install you go to the "disk1" folder on the CD and use the "setup.exe".
Also with the latest version of Creative ALchemy(1.41.02) I was able to get my sound working. But for some reason it kept asking for me to put in the CD even though it was already in there so I did what rockstar does and use the no cd crack(google will tell you where to get that).

hope this helps. because every ones PC is different this fix may or may not work for every one.

Hi!

Is it possible to play the game on WINDOWS 7?

GTA 3 keeps minimizing for me.

Can't play it anymore on my 64 bit laptop and have to install Steam on my old Windows XP PC downstairs.
