The next patch will be v1.04. There is a thread (http://forums.3drealms.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=000650) in this forum if you want to check it out. If the problem affects you, you may be able to get a beta version of it: Originally posted by SamiV, Remedy:
Hi. We're close to releasing a new 1.04 patch for Max Payne. The issue of getting the "Out of memory: Vertex buffer creation" error should be fixed now.

We're looking for a few volunteers (who have gotten the error and know how to reproduce it) to test the patch before releasing it.

If you want to give it a shot, please send email to: mpbugs@remedy.fi and we'll provide you to a download link.

The patch will be about 6.5MB in size. The 1.03 version was not released in case someone was wondering about the version numbering.

I've been waiting a while for the Vertex Buffer-patch. Dammit, that bug's annoying, but it'll be nice when it's fixed.
