I can't look inside the OP's head, but personally I like to be distracted. That can be anything like going for a walk outside and talking with real people. I am doing that, but it's also brings in the fear "Am I getting too distracted?". There's a constant fear between every activity, which I am …

You can submit a bug report for the game to the Wine team so hopefully a user wouldn't have to jump through hoops to get a game working. The game was fixed in two ways, proxy files or IAT patching. I doubt Wine can legally do the former, and they should probably need a new hooking plan to do the …

Things I've had to use ACT Shims in on Windows (to varying degrees of unsuccess) I had not needed so under Wine, are you sure you need such things? It doesn't just run as-is under Wine? I had no idea Wine even had the "AppCompat" thing implemented at all. GOG installers that try to install sdb's …

I am planning to run a very old Windows game on Linux. The game however requires the use of ACT shims, and I would need to install them in Linux. Wine provides sdbinst.exe but due to me not knowing the procedure to run a Wine application with admin privileges, I was unable to do so. Can anyone …

Ok after all the culprit is the EmulateHeap shim that changed after Windows XP SP1.

There might actually be a way to fix it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/dvgp7j/max_payne_crash_fixed_by_uluigoalma_it_was_not_an/ Glad to see a fix for the game. However I genuinely don't thing the case is same with Max Payne. My CPU is a Zen 1, and not Zen+ or Zen 2. The most I can think of …

There's an issue with some old software not correctly identifying the MMX capabilities of Ryzen cpu's which results in crashes. 3dmark2000 and Max Payne are affected for example. You might be correct, I think I should try to emulate the game on PCem Windows XP, and if that succeeds, a lga1151 intel …

I just read the thread on the Dxwnd forum. The game no longer works on operating systems ranging from Win XP to Windows 10 (but used to before) so I doubt it's caused by a Windows update because most of those are no longer supported. What kind of hardware do you have? Pretty modern HW. Ryzen 5 1600 …
