I didn't hear the audio defects in GTA:SA on my computer on Win11. Yeah, they were quite noticeable on XP, I'm sure I'd notice them before if XP was my main gaming OS.

The game is quite glitchy, interestingly, I can pick 1920x1080 on Win11. SilentPatch also makes it remember the monitor you want to play the game on, stock game asks you every time you launch it. It also makes it so the dropdown lists the monitor name rather than just listing your GPU multiple times. Judging by the imported APIs, this might be one of the reasons SilentPatch doesn't work on XP.

Max Payne 1 and 2 could use a similar patch, these games have totally broken D3D adapter selection, can't pick non-secondary monitor at all, despite having a dropdown to select it. Maybe it only worked for selecting screen on a different physical GPU?
