From CD both games intallaliert, 1 the sound patch installed in Max Payne and copied the latest language pack with the German comments in the directory completed.
For the first part of German language can be found on the Internet.
Max Payne 1 and 2 run fine with me under Windows 8.1, 64 bit, without compatibility mode. Display mode set enstprechend, 1920 x 1080 x 32, antialiasing issued with me.
Under Windows 8.1 with the latest video driver, it works just fine with me.
All I can say everything was perfect. Max Payne 3 I've been through, now I want to get to know the predecessor.
