The sequel to one of my favorite 3D platformers always had a janky PC port, but a huge fanmade patch just dropped in hopes to fix it

American McGee's Alice has a sequel called Madness Returns, which faced issues on PC since its 2011 release due to a problematic port. A modder named Wemino has created a custom patch called MadnessPatch to enhance the gaming experience. Key improvements of the patch include upgraded textures, correctly scaling subtitles for resolutions above 720p, optimized camera for ultrawide resolutions, stability fixes for crashes and broken physics at high framerates, and support for windowed mode. The mod has received positive feedback from fans and approval from American McGee. Despite McGee's attempts to persuade EA to support a third installment, he has abandoned the idea due to the company's lack of interest. Madness Returns is available on Steam for ten dollars, while the original Alice game is not currently available on digital storefronts.
