- Permissions and credits
MadMaxCrashFix
Fix for startup (loading screen) crash in Mad Max.
Usage - GoG version
Usage - Steam version
Notes
Technical Description
The crash is caused by a "Division by Zero" exception caused by a DIV instruction (div dword ptr ds : [rcx + r8 + 0xC]) with incorrect source operand.
This instruction is supposed to retrieve the refresh rate of currently used screen.
This program retrieves the correct refresh rate of the active screen, and patches the offending instruction with a MOV r32, imm32 instruction, where imm32 is the immediate 32-bit value of the screen's refresh rate in Hz.
