--- Comment #4 from Toni Spets toni.spets@iki.fi 2010-01-01 14:55:27 --- Maarten Lankhorst commented at IRC that the only real fix for this is to permanently revert the patch which itself wasn't incorrect. Max Payne abuses the dsound API in a way that breaks down with the simplifier patch which is to be reverted.
Waiting for official revert.
