Command Line Options and what they do in Max Payne

Command Line Options Max Payne has a few command line options that can be used in specific circumstances:

• nodialog: Skips the Max Payne startup dialog when loading the game.

• skipstartup: Skips the startup animation.

• screenshot: Enables the F10 key for taking screen shots. Screen shots are saved to "screenshots" folder under your Max Payne installation folder.

• disable3dpreloads: If the system runs out of texture memory while loading a level, this option may prevent the game from crashing due to a driver error.

• window: Runs the game in a windowed mode, in the resolution selected from the Max Payne launch dialog.

All 3d accelerators do not support running in a windowed mode. Command line options can be enabled by adding them to the Max Payne shortcut after the executable, for example "C:\Program Files\Remedy\Max Payne\MaxPayne.exe" -screenshot *remember to leave a space before -screenshot.
