Shortcut Commands

[Guest]

Here is some shortcut commands that helped me run the game for first time after 2 weeks,used to crash after intro that only a reboot cound get me out of game .Right click shortcut and you can add these Additional Options:

Additional option Command Line Options. Max Payne has a few command line options that can be used in specific circumstances:

-nodialog: Skips the Max Payne startup dialog when loading the game.


-skipstartup: Skips the startup animation.


-screenshot: Enables the F10 key for taking screen shots. Screen shots are saved to "screenshots" folder under your Max Payne installation folder.

-disable3dpreloads: If the system runs out of texture memory while loading a level, this option may prevent the game from crashing due to a driver error.


-window: Runs the game in a windowed mode, in the resolution selected from the Max Payne launch dialog. All 3d accelerators do not support running in a windowed mode.
Command line options can be enabled by adding them to the Max Payne shortcut after the executable, for example:
"C:\Program Files\Remedy\Max Payne\MaxPayne.exe" -screenshot
hope it helps

Right click shortcut for max payne on desktop click properties at the target location put -skipstartup there should look something like this "C:\Program Files\Max Payne\MaxPayne.exe" -skipstartup . Dont forget to click apply afterwards you can also put -disable3dpreloads -nodialog as well my shortcut looks like this "C:\Program Files\Max Payne\MaxPayne.exe" -developer -skipstartup -disable3dpreloads -nodialog .

Thank´s Roobarb done that. All of that.Nada. Nothing. After -skipstartup I´m past the intro and right in front of a loading screen and the same thing happen´s again. The loading bar is filled up to one third and that´s it. I tried -windows, that 3dpreload thing, -nodialog, -developer ... And nothing. Suggestions? images/icons/rolleyes.gif

I can't even get these add-ons to go onto my shortcut- an error message comes us saying nor recognised. This game is total rubbish. I hope the developers enjoy all the irritation they have caused. All this so-called fancy gameplay is well and good if you haven't tested it enough. Cheers guys.

You must have a blank space after exe" -developer. I hope this helps
