I posted my fix on the steam user forums [web. But since these forums have been closed now, I'm reposting here in the new steam forum and as a steam guide.
The fix's main function -the conversion part- will unpack the game using the tools provided on the max payne cd release, ras-maker it's spelled without the dash, but somehow the forums won't allow me to say 'rasmaker', so i'll use a dash from now on and the rl. It looks for and converts the sounds from the various formats found to 8bit unsigned sounds, of a quality simmilar to the original sounds using SOX -an opensource sound conversion tool-.
After that is done, the game is repacked again using ras-maker. The fix also has a lot of other functions, like checking if the game is complete and converting and managing mods. You will need to use winrar, 7-zip or something similar for this. Now browse to your game directory using windows file explorer and double-click the fix's main file: MaxBatch. A green screen should appear, indicating all files needed for conversion are found.
If you are met by a red screen the fix could not find all needed files or the game might be incomplete, what is wrong exactly will be indicated. In some cases converting is still possible, even with a red screen. Use the [C] - Convert game. Three files are going to be converted, so be patient if on an older machine.
Press a key to continue and use the [L] - Launch game. You can also use [E] - End. Robin posted an excellent multilingual guide in English, German and Norwegian on installing and using the patch in a steam guide you can find here. Restore Option All files modified are automatically backed up, so if you want to restore the game to it's original state you can run the fix again and use the '[R] - Restore game to unconverted' option or use steam's verify game option to re-download.
The next time you run maxbatch after using verify, it will recognize you did and sync it's backups to that. In theory, to fix Max Payne permanently, you'd need to extract the game audio, fix it, and then repackage as. Once that's done, it should only be mods that have sound issues. Step 1. Fix the game and repackage. Follow the steps of the original fix above , exactly as they're described, until you're left with the entire game database Data folder extracted, with fixed audio; and the original ras files moved to a new folder called 'Moved'.
After you've tested the original game works, repack the Data folder using Rasmaker: Code:. Hey guys, I must be doing something wrong, because when I try this fix, I get no sound at all. Before, it was pretty much the same as everyone else e. After I extract all the files and convert them, do I have to re-compress them in a similar way to what Maddieman described? If that's the case, the MaxFX-Tool program won't let me, stating that the "source path must be relative when the -p option is not used.
Thanks so much. I was about to give up and put Max Payne back in the drawer when I saw this fix. I was a little nervous at first because the fix seemed a little out of my league but it turned out to be easier then I thought and worth the time. Thanks Again!! Hi there, im having a bit of a problem with this fix.
Long story short i lost my max payne disk and wanted to play it again so i bought it on Direct2Drive. Unfortunately when i did this i did not get the max-fx tools, which as i recall came on the disk version. So i tried it with a general ras maker that i found Quick ras, which didnt work.
Tried the batch file option as well and i just changed the rasmaker line to quick ras, but then i ran into not having the rl. Now im not really a computer wiz so all this stuff is really not my expertise.
Or do i jsut need the max-fx tools? I appreaciate any help, i really was looking forward to playing Max Payne again but it isnt as much fun with out the sounds.
If yes, can you put them on the hook for support, or for a refund? If Direct2Drive patches up its source with the Vista fix, their end-users won't have to deal with the problem to begin with.

I managed to get this fix working thanks a lot, i really don't know what i'd do without the mp community lol. What's wrong with it now? Works well, but if you want to play with mods you'll have to mess around a bit, I think, at least I couldn't start a mod with the launcher, so I guess you'll need to make another backup?
Please tell me if there's an easier way? Just want to add my thanks - it worked a treat and was incredibly easy to do! But must be lived forward. Originally Posted by danaldo. Find More Posts by Sayantan. Bit of a problem, i don't seem to have the "Data" folder.
Any ideas where it might be? Works great! Question though, I could tell from the above posts, but has anyone gotten mods to work yet? I want to install Kung Fu 3. Doesn't running in XP compatibility mode work? I'm going to install Max Payne now, so I'll see for myself.
Perhaps someone can help me with this problem. I have followed the detailed instructions of DarkjeThe2nd on how to fix this issue to the letter, but I am experiencing the following problem: The sounds in the initial game cut-scene, as well as the scenes in between the episodes are playing on fast-forward. If you install Max Payne 1 on Vista, Windows7, 8, 10 or later, you will probably notice that most music, intro sound, cut-scene talks and many of the original in game sounds are missing.
