Warnings
- The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.
Max Payne 3 is a singleplayer and multiplayer third-person action, shooter and TPS game in the Max Payne series.
The OS X version suffers from multiple issues, one being the complete lack of multiplayer, due to the GameSpy services being shut down.[3]

Video
Letterboxed behavior example (16:10 resolution used).
Graphics feature | State | WSGF | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Widescreen resolution | Aspect ratios other than 16:9 are letterboxed in non-engine cutscenes. | ||
Multi-monitor | |||
Ultra-widescreen | Displays incorrectly game UI, FMV and cutscenes. See here for a fix, or use Lyall's fix. | ||
4K Ultra HD | |||
Field of view (FOV) | Use the FOV Fix. Default is 45° vertical; see FOV Calculator for help. | ||
Windowed | Can also use the -windowed parameter. |
||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | Install FusionFix. | ||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Up to 16 samples. | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | Low to Very High FXAA, and up to 8x MSAA. | ||
High-fidelity upscaling | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | Double buffered in fullscreen mode, triple buffered in windowed mode. Alt-tabbing out of and back to fullscreen mode may change double buffering to triple buffering.[citation needed] | ||
60 FPS and 120+ FPS | No frame rate or refresh rate cap.[10] | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |
- MSAA is unusually demanding and not especially effective compared to other games. FXAA offers good results and far better performance.
Input
Keyboard and mouse | State | Notes |
---|---|---|
Remapping | ||
Mouse acceleration | Has a toggle for positive mouse acceleration, however frame rate dependent negative mouse acceleration is always present.[11] | |
Mouse sensitivity | The Y axis is 75% slower than X axis, a close to 1:1 aim can be achieved by having the in-game Y axis on "5" and the X axis on "3". A more precise 1:1 aim could be achieved by having both in-game axis at the same setting and using separate DPI values via supported mouse software (e.g. 1400 DPI on Y axis and 800 DPI on X axis). | |

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (204100) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
- ↑ There's a chance the aiming camera will freeze (despite the character's camera animation) whenever the player stops moving (gamepad analog movement). This doesn't affect other actions.

- Just by simply binding the Mouse Input with Controller Inputs (i.e playing on Steam Deck), I've noticed that despite selecting Free Aim and disabling both Target Tracking and Target Slowdown: Aim Assistance can still be activated. it's apparent when using Shootdodge or Explosion-based Weapons like Grenade Launcher.
As of this writing: I have no idea if Hardcore Free Aim is affected as I only have access to it on Multiplayer at the moment.

- Confirmed with Task Manager that RGL launches as 64-bit, but the main executable of Max Payne 3 is still 32-bit. The 64-bit requirement thus only comes from the launcher, not the game itself.
