Overview
Gameplay renders in ultrawide, but the UI, FMVs, loading screens and cutscenes display incorrectly, and aspect ratios wider than about 2.3 (e.g. 32:9) push the game into multi-monitor mode. Lyall's MaxPayne3Fix corrects FMV and loading-screen scaling and the wide-aspect issue, and offers a spanned or centered 16:9 HUD.

Patch history & verification
Current Steam build (number not confirmed)Sep 28, 2026
Verified via PCGamingWiki (ultrawide notes: UI/FMV/cutscenes display incorrectly) and Lyall's fix README (latest release v1.0). Exact nature of vanilla UI/menu errors (stretch vs misplacement) is not detailed - 'stretched' is a lower-confidence value. Game has online multiplayer; avoid using ASI mods online.
