Part III prologue dream sequence -- can't jump

[al infierno]

Anybody have this weird problem in the dream sequences where you can't jump and you just get kinda pulled off the edges of the blood paths randomly? I definitely don't remember that being a thing back in the original retail game. It's making the third prologue blood maze sequence unplayable

Thanks buddy, it worked for me, I used nvidia inspector and I put 60 fps, it worked normally.

my solution was to enable the developer console, use it to copy paste "jump20" or "jump 20" or wahtever the proper command is. Just keep using that, it'll send you flyign through the air and you can use it again mid air to chain jumps together, once you get used to it the blood mazes are super easy to navigate

How do I enable the dev command?

How do I enable the dev command?

In the steam library, right click Max Payne > click Properties > click Set Launch Options, and type "-developer" without the quote marks

All I'm getting is a bunch of lines on the screen in-game and have no idea how to type something or get the dev console off the screen, lol

Absolutely this. It was the only way, for me, to make the last jump in the Valkyr-inducted allucination in Part 3. Kudos!

Upon launching Max Payne from steam., change 'Acceleration' from 'D3D Hardware T&L' to 'D3D Software T&L'. This seemed to fix my jumping issue enough (not completely mind) to enable me to finish the level.

I also noticed the last jump to the cradle needed to be made more from the middle of the platform and not the edge.

Can't guarantee this will work for others but hopefully it helps.

In this game, Max doesn't have a good walking pattern, so you will slip off the trails often, you'll have to adjust a lot, and even jump just to save yourself from falling off.

As for jumping issue, I haven't had that problem. Try standing still, make sure you're not pressing anything other than the jump button. I can't really think of a solution for this.

Then you press left or right (depending on which side you are looking) and jump at the same time. This will make you do the long dodge jump over the gap. You can do this for every jump in this dream sequence.

You saved my sanity. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, this blood trail thing is annoying.

Thank you for this. Playing through it now, and I was getting so frustrated. Strafe jumping solved the problem, I was able to get across.

Another fix for this (and the glitch where you get stuck to walls) is to cap the framerate at 60.

Thank You - fixed the jumping and sticking for me!!! Was driving me mad...

Thanks, I thought that it was purposefully blocking the jump to the cradle, spent like 20 minutes trying other routes on the painful blood lines, finally googled it and this thread came up, swapped to the software rendering and then the jump worked perfectly. Guess this game just has a little issue with movement on modern hardware. Thanks heaps!

THANK YOU! I literally tried at least 50 times and was convinced I wouldn't be able to cross that gap
