Overview
Max Payne can’t run for you, well here’s an easy fix!
Introduction
AMD users that use a Ryzen 3000 and beyond will encounter a JPEG error when loading, for example, if you tried to play the tutorial it will immediately crash. The reason why this happened is that Remedy never had the foresight of Ryzen and Zen existing. And this game not being supported, there is no way for the developers to fix it
How to fix it
The video here from The Good Old Gamer explains this much better than I can, but I will abbreviate it. what you need to do is to find [rlmfc.dll] in your Max Payne folder, open it with HeX editor to find the offset [000256E0], and change the last three sections of the code to 90 90 90. If done correctly the game will run.
That seems confusing
I know this is very confusing, especially if you really just want to play Max Payne. Well, that’s why I took the liberty of making a zip file so you can just simply extract the new dll in Max Payne. So here it is ( [link] ) so please enjoy the fix and enjoy Max Payne.
