It may be flagged as a Virus/Trojan under your Anti-Virus, but it is a false positive. DO NOT WORRY! Author of the mod is a very well known speedrunner in the Max Payne community. Allow it and download the files :)

Important To Know!

SKIPPING CERTAIN CUTSCENES CAN CRASH THE GAME OR CAUSE GLITCHES. Read below & check comments section.

  • CHAPTER 1: After saving Fabiana - Max will be stuck in the elevator and unable to move.
    SOLUTION: Don't skip this cutscene until it transitions to Max running down a hallway.

  • CHAPTER 7: Where Max investigates the warehouse, before jumping on the chain, skipping
    causes the game to crash or Max to die instantly offscreen.
    SOLUTION: Don't skip this cutscene until after Max says the 'testosterone fest' line.

  • CHAPTER 8: Transition cutscene from the morgue to chapel, skipping will make the level
    load improperly and the enemies and some scenery will be invisible.
    SOLUTION: Don't skip this cutscene until after Max and Passos come through the door and
    enter the chapel.

  • CHAPTER 9: When crossing the gate through the alleyway showing a couple of choppers,
    skipping causes the game to crash to desktop.

    but the QTE at the end will be silent.
    SOLUTION: Harmless, there's no reason to be bothered by it.

  • CHAPTER 12: Cutscene featuring Max, the doctor, and Serrano MIGHT crash the game to
    desktop if it is skipped.
    SOLUTION: Do not skip this cutscene at all. Instead, enjoy Max's voice acting!
