I am having a problem with my 3dfx Voodoo 3 3OOOD AGP card and the game Max Payne 2. The game installs, but I cannot play because the computer warns me that the game requires a DirectX 9.0 compatible display adapter. Does anyone know how to get the game to work on a Windows 98 SE, with a 16MB 3dfx Voodoo3 3000D AGP. Processor is ~450MHz Pentium III with 128 MB RAM. Using default system BIOS. Graphics clock speed is 166MHz. I searched long and hard for an update for my adapter, trying Amigamerlin 2.9. Well the game still will not work, continues to say the game needs the DX 9.0 compatible display adapter. However now DirectX 9.0 interfaces work on my comp, which did not before. Any help is very appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have Max Payne 2 and I can install it but when I try to run the game it says "Max Payne 2 requires a DirextX 9.0 compatible display adapter." Do you know where I can download this so that it can solve the problem? I have a Windows 2000.32MB.128KB.40X.3D Graphics Intel Direct AGP.56K Modem. Thanks

I just got Max Payne 2 today and it says the exact same thing when I go to play it. That just pisses me off because I just bought a brand new graphics card. My computer has Pentium 4, 1.7GHz, Windows XP, 768MB RAM, and DirectX 9.0b. Oh yeah and my graphics card is an nVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 with 256MB. Its maximum resolution is 2048x1536. Now why the hell won't this fricken game work? DAMMIT!!!!
