Ah... when I said "newer hardware," I was thinking more along the lines of my Radeon X850 XT PE 😁 (Incidentally, even that card has issues with Max Payne 1.)
I guess I've given up on gaming with truly modern hardware, to be honest. It got to be such a pain in the post-DX10 years, mostly because of driver issues like the ones you mentioned.
really? what kind of issues would that X850 have? Max Payne should work fine on such a card
I was actually thinking of putting together a WinXP machine for just these types of situations (my Win98 machine has a 700Mhz PIII , so it struggles with UT2003 or above for instance), but was wondering the usefulness of such a machine, Ive also tried to install WinXP on a separate partition on my modern PC , but it won't work due to incompatibilities with the SATA drivers apparently
