the last time I played MP1 I had to tinker with some fanpatches to even get audio working. While it wasn't a massive ordeal, would be nice if it worked on modern systems out-of-the-box.

That is interesting. I play it maybe once every other year and I don't do anything.

Then again, although I have the original PC discs and box, I play it on steam using Linux. Seems like there are a lot of old games that work better on Linux than windows so maybe that is the difference.

It's probably a windows-thing, and it's been quite a while since I last played it (seems like it was when win7 was still a thing), but I don't think there's been updates to it. Could be the sound issue I had was specific to some audio hardware or settings.

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Max_Payne#Issues_fixed has some audio fixes listed, but it's been quite a while and I can't remember the exact issue, but the audio was entirely "borked" without the fix.

Haven't tested the game on linux yet.
