Issues

• The only known issue in the game is that the "Mirrors" option (in the options panel in the pre-game launcher) must be disabled. With this on, the game will run at a slide-show speed. All of the other options can be enabled without any issue - up to the limits of one's video card of course.
• When having a problem with installing the game (i.e. error 0x80040706) you might try to first run install.exe and then - without closing it - using the install button again to start setup.exe.

Notes

• Pixel shaders are disabled by default, to enable them, edit ~/.transgaming/config and switch N to Y like in the example below;

;; Max Payne 2
[AppDefaults\\MaxPayne2.exe\\d3dgl]
"PixelShaders" = "Y"
