How to Install -

1. Download the Max Payne 3 Cutscene Skipper [www.speedrun.com]
(It's under 'Tools' in the middle of the URL I linked)

It may be flagged as a Virus/Trojan under your Anti-Virus, but it is a false positive. DO NOT WORRY! Author of the mod is a very well known speedrunner in the Max Payne community. Allow it and download the files :)

2. Extract ALL of the files into the Max Payne 3 installation folder.
Usually located here - C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Max Payne 3\Max Payne 3)

Important To Know!

SKIPPING CERTAIN CUTSCENES CAN CRASH THE GAME OR CAUSE GLITCHES. Read below & check comments section.

CHAPTER 1: After saving Fabiana - Max will be stuck in the elevator and unable to move.
SOLUTION: Don't skip this cutscene until it transitions to Max running down a hallway.
CHAPTER 7: Where Max investigates the warehouse, before jumping on the chain, skipping
causes the game to crash or Max to die instantly offscreen.
SOLUTION: Don't skip this cutscene until after Max says the 'testosterone fest' line.
CHAPTER 8: Transition cutscene from the morgue to chapel, skipping will make the level
load improperly and the enemies and some scenery will be invisible.
SOLUTION: Don't skip this cutscene until after Max and Passos come through the door and
enter the chapel.
CHAPTER 9: When crossing the gate through the alleyway showing a couple of choppers,
skipping causes the game to crash to desktop.
SOLUTION: Do not skip this cutscene at all.
CHAPTER 9: The loooooong cutscene before the end of the chapter can be skipped right away
but the QTE at the end will be silent.
SOLUTION: Harmless, there's no reason to be bothered by it.
CHAPTER 12: Cutscene featuring Max, the doctor, and Serrano MIGHT crash the game to
desktop if it is skipped.
SOLUTION: Do not skip this cutscene at all. Instead, enjoy Max's voice acting!

Does this mod really work? I saw someone claiming it was a Trojan virus but I just wanted to make sure

Oh yeah. Now I can skip the damn videos. I was in the process of completing the mode (Time does not wait - hardcore) and died at the end of chapter 9 due to a long video that I decided to skip using Cheat engine. And in the end, I died when the boss attacked with a machete. So, you helped me out. Thank you."

there's no part of me that understands the decision to not make all, even small cutscenes skippable in this game. because what kind of a game is it? a fiery, tactical third person action shooter that constantly "slows down", literally.

there should have been two game modes: Story and Action. Story plays like the game plays. Action is just the game's playable sections. no fat, no bullshit, no infinitely-repeating Maxisms of "The last time I hit something that hard it was the bottom of a bottle." "Last night was about two things. one was fighting, and the other I forget because I'm such a drunken trainwreck."

Max Payne shouldn't be about us constantly HEARING about Max's Pain, it should be about us vicariously redeeming it. you want a story, neat. go ahead. but to cut the game into ribbons of nonstop repetition of how much of a wreck he is? blah. replaying it's almost as big a chore as getting through this comment. anyway, thanks for the mod.

Played 3 times since it came out with all different patches over the time, including the latest ones. I had only one crash when i hammered enter to skip. This makes the gmae a thousand times better after you sat through it (its good imo but still) sometimes you jsut want to pop heads.
