Mad Max is a third-person action, open world and vehicle combat game.
Online servers were shut down in 2020. It is therefore no longer possible to complete online challenges and build the Scrap Crew project, preventing the player from unlocking 100% achievements on Steam. However, a workaround can be downloaded from Nexusmods to instead complete these challenges by collecting scrap through other normal methods.[2]

Issues fixed
Color corruption
- Color corruption may occur if a program other than Windows manages the systems color profile (e.g. f.lux) and the game is run in fullscreen.
Workaround for color corruption[citation needed]
|
- Play the game in windowed or borderless fullscreen mode.
|
Serious stuttering on Linux
- WBPlay has issues with Linux 4.9+, causing serious stuttering in Mad Max and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Feral is aware of the problem and looking for a fix.
Workaround for Linux 4.9+[citation needed]
|
- Play the game with Steam in offline mode. This prevents a connection to WBPlay and stops the stuttering.
|
Stuttering when auto-saving
- Every time the game auto-saves (which is very often), the game hiccups. This happens when the save gets written to the Steam save data location.
Workaround for auto-save stuttering[citation needed]
|
- Prevent the game from saving to the Steam save data location. Go into Properties of the 'remote' folder, open the Security tab and deny write access for all groups/user names. Auto-saves will continue to go to your Documents folder.
