I am a big fan of Remedy games. I give respect to this great game, and I hope this remaster will give this beautiful game another many more years of life.
It's my New Year present for all Max Payne fans. Textures for this remaster was made by ESRGAN with combined hand-made textures.
*Few thousand (~95%) of game textures have been replaced;
*New textures have increased resolution from 2x to 8x;
*Includes the replacement of decals / blood / clothing and part of the interface textures.
Also mod contains a sound fix from darkje.
You can see the visual difference below:

How to setup:
1)Put files and data folder from from archive to game folder with replacement;
2)Set detailed texture setting to medium! (Otherwise, old game engine may fall or textures has flickering)
1.1:
- Added various fixes and improved compatibility, thanks darkje01.
1.2:
- Fixed crash at Ragnarock level.
1.3:
- Compatibility fixed. Now mod should works with any version and language;
- Added some missing textures;
- Fixed frame texture in prologue.

I have cleared comments, since many problems no longer matter with the release of version 1.3 as it was solved.
In previous comparisons, I didn't notice that game had middle values for original textures, so comparisons were incorrect. I apologize for misinformation, now I made corrected comparisons.
You need clean game before install 1.3 version. If you had any previous versions then i strongly recommended reinstall game.
Re-read the installation instructions, in 1.3 version it has changed!
maybe you can do this with manhunt 1
Эм.И где инструкция то?
Maybe can you add this version of Max Payne in your mod? It is the default Max Payne 1 Max but with more detail (ears,hand etc.)

You mean clean game with patch 1.05 ?
I have steam version and the old retail version.
Should i install patch patch 1.05 on the old retail version first ?
edit:
1.05 patch installed and mod copied into game folder:
win10 1809 result:
IndirectSound was loaded statically at process startup
The IndirectSound library being loaded is located at D:\Games\Max Payne 1\DSOUND.dll
Version -- 0.16
The process loading IndirectSound is located at D:\Games\Max Payne 1\MaxPayne.exe
Product Name -- MaxPayne Application
Product Version -- 1, 0, 0, 0
File Description -- Max Payne
File Version -- 1, 0, 4, 0
IndirectSound is being unloaded because the process is terminating
Where is it located as a recommendation for installation? I did not find it....

It crashes at Ch.1 Roscoe st. for me with no message.
Already set detailed textures to minimum in options.
When using kungfu3.0 mod I get:
"Exception:
An error has occured in graphics engine. Try to downgrade your settings by pressing the "Options..." button in Max Payne startup dialog.
P_D3D::allocateMap - DRV_createAndLoadTexture failed :
E_OUTOFMEMORY
Closing..."
Also, loading takes forever. I have modern hardware so it shouldn't be the problem. Right?
i avoided it by setting (other textures) to low
When is next update for cover missing textures in this mod ?
I'm experiencing some sporadic stuttering. Like a split second freeze. Is there any known cause?
Nobody wrote about such a problem, perhaps the characteristics of your PC are not enough for a mod.
I ran the unmodded game without this issue. It has to be a setting or compatibility thing. My PC shouldn't be the issue with a game that old, textures or not :) I'll keep watching the comments. Thanks for your work
"I ran the unmodded game without this issue , textures or not "
I think you're missing the point ,
new upscaled textures will obviously put more stress on a pc.
Wouldn't hurt to check your graphics drivers version ,maybe change from the drivers you have installed atmo.
Usually that involves updating but i have had the rare game that performs better with an older graphics driver version.

Do we no longer need the fixitall or widescreen fixes?
There is no need to apply fix by Darkje, since it relies on game sound files replacing. It is enough to paste IndirectSound library nearby main exe, and sounds work fine.
edit
- IndirectSound is already attached in the mod, instead of Darkje fix.
- Startup fix attached
- Steam exe attached and retail one (NOCD from startup fix)
- No widescreen
Great ,thanks for this info.
I see also that new startup fix is attached (fixes problem with error during loading prologue level with tex mod installed)
It looks like graphic novels wasn't upscaled.
Even better, because it would be incompatible with other language packs than English, but it could be added as an option imho.
Man, this is AWESOME.
To avoid memory crashes you can always test this tool to enable the 4 GB memory load for old 32 bit exe: Techpowerup.com
Didn't fix my error:
"Exception:
An error has occured in graphics engine. Try to downgrade your settings by pressing the "Options..." button in Max Payne startup dialog.
P_D3D::allocateMap - DRV_createAndLoadTexture failed :
E_OUTOFMEMORY
Closing..."
I downloaded the "laa_2_0_4.zip" and used it on MaxPayne.exe as written in instructions and it didn't work :<

Here's the patched Max Payne with 4 GB memload and max detail:
* Postimg.cc
* Postimg.cc
Do i need 4GB of memory to load the mode?
Hi, unfortunately the game doesn't start. An error appears:
May Payne requires a DirectX8 compatible display adapter. Pleease consult the troubleshooting readme in the installation folder.
But there is no readme... any ideas? :(
Thanks!
This file work in steam version 1.05 ? or i probably will go problems ? thank you !
Looks amazing but I'm getting crashes to desktop during loading of levels. Seems random. Sometimes I can get it to load but more often than not I CTD. Followed install instructions on a fresh install on steam on a computer with a fresh install of Windows 10 on new SSD only a few weeks old.
Hello, thanks for this update, that look amazing. But after the files substitution i don' have any game sound. Somebody have a solution? Thank you very much!
This is exactly why PC Gaming is the BEST, Windows has unlimited backwards compatibility and no modding restrictions. A game that's nearly over 2 decades old is polished up by dedicated fans and distributed for FREE. Fans care more than the creators of games, its just the truth.
What good is a PS4 or an Xbox? you know you can't play PS2 or PS3 games on it unless the Gods feel like throwing you a bone and charge you double for buying the same PS3 game again. When you have a PC, you don't have to care about any such nonsense, as long as you've got the hardware you can play ANY game from ANY time because Windows has universal compatibility.
What does the SteamExe application do?
Also when I try to open it, it says that i don't have the file MSVCP100.dll. But when I get the dll file, another problem appears "0xc000007b". How can I fix it?

Hey,
Thank you so much for this mod. It has been well over 18 years since I last played this game. I bought it last year, and just got around to play it again. Wow, what an amazing job you all have done.
So many memories I have with this game.
Awesome. Thank you.

Fake Remaster that does not improve anything.
Screenshots just showing default low settings vs high settings.

...i know im terribly late, about 2 years, but LDB_EXTRACTOR/*IMPORTER*?? IT EXISTS? Holy ****. I thought LDB would be forever stuck in proprietary format hell.
This might be a bit annoying, but... where did you find it? And, if you bother to reply, maybe you could upload it to ModDB?

Well done!
I have never played Max Payne (born 1990), it was your work that convinced me to try. I finished Max Payne and it's a great game, and your work makes it look much better than the original. What's important is that these are original textures (not created), ie the "reception" of the game is exactly the same as on the day of the premiere.
Thanks again for your work, best regards!
Ps: Sorry for my english.
Amazing Mod. I completed it and its frigging epic.
I was wondering. does it take everyone at least 2 to 3 mins to load each level at max settings? Or have I a setting I can change to make it faster load. thanks again in advance.
