Max Payne - Low Frame Rate

thrasher585 · Dec 3, 2019

I'm running Max Payne (original Xbox) on my Xbox 360. It is backwards compatible. For some reason it has a very low frame rate. I read online that it should run very smoothly on the 360 (roughly 60 FPS). I tried clearing my cache, formatting my drive, and
reinstalling updates and no luck. I even tried another copy of the game and same thing. Is something wrong with my Xbox 360? The weird thing is that some other games run very smoothly.

Hi,

I'm pretty certain Max Payne is a 30 fps game on the original Xbox. Also, the software emulator on the 360 isn't that great with many games not running the same speed as they do on original hardware.

Yeah,the main reason they stopped adding original xbox games to xbox 360 backwards compatibility was because they could never get a lot of the games to run properly & that's probably the case with Max Payne.There's nothing you can do from your end i'm
afraid & it wont get fixed at xbox's end.

I have Max Payne on the 360 also. I can get it to run at about 30 FPS. It also has controller lag at times and has a tendency to crash every once in a while.

I have noticed a lot of the older 360 games have pretty bad frame rates. I have not played FEAR on the 360 since it first came out, but I remember how bad the frame rates were in the earlier wresting games, and Max Payne.

They are on single player.

The games FEAR and The Orange Box have a bad frame rate. Some backwards compatible games like Max Payne 1, 2 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War have a bad frame rate too.

Some games with a good frame rate are Rage and the Call of Duty series. Some backwards compatible games run well too like State of Emergency and the GTA series.
