Does anyone know how to get the sound to work? The sound only works for me during the cut scenes, but not during the actual gameplay. Also had to install both patches, or at least v1.2 to get it to run. Running on windows 11 also. Had to download Daemon tools as someone suggested and mount the "discs" to get "disc 4" to install as well. But yea, if anyone can help me with the sound part that would be great, I just don't understand why the sound works during cut scenes but not actual gameplay. Other than that, works great.

Neither MILLENNIUM_666 or LOLZORDZ's method worked for me
I have Windows 10 and Matrix.exe was just shutting down every time
What worked for me was:
- Fresh install the game
- Install widescreen fix
- Patch 1.52
- Install nocd Matrix.exe for patch 1.52
- Launch the game from MatrixOptions, don't touch anything except Resolution, 1920*1080 works
- Don't run compatibility XP SP2 and admin mode, it just makes my .exe crash at start
If my method doesn't work, try the ones from MILLENNIUM_666 or LOLZORDZ and Enter The Matrix will run flawlessly on Windows 10
Back to some KungFu, cheers

Worked flawlessly on Windows 10 with my 3840x1080 screen :-)
Stuff I did:
- Download this
- Convert Disc 4 to ISO with iat on Linux
- Installed
- Applied Patch 1.52
- Copied "fixed EXE" from a certain website to folder
- Applied Widescreen Patch (not the one linked here, the one from github)
- Started the game via MatrixOptions.exe (this seems to be important)
- Don't use a controller!!! It doesn't work. You will either walk forward or backward all the time without any input. You have to use mouse and keyboard. Tried it with XBO, PS5 and Switch Pro Controllers and even my PS2 Controller via USB adapter.
Notes: Widescreen Patch does not want to work with Lutris on Linux, so i had to use my Windows 10 installation since I didn't want to debug and patch wine for playing this... but it works in 4:3 :/
I was 15 when this came out and bought it on day one because I was obsessed with Matrix. It didn't age well at all. Just played the driving stage with the f* airplane and I nearly rage quitted because of the clunky controls and the f* up physics.

This works. I couldn't get it to load until I installed the patch"1.2 for i845 chipset" and then it loaded fine. This was after installing the other patch (1.52), even though it says not to install both.
I had this on Gamecube as a kid and played it forever...

Ahh! The memories - the best driver in the matrix MY *SS!!! She can barely steer! I remember I had to wait for about 20 minutes for her to turn around the car after she flipped it :\ oh...and the square sheels are the best! I guess in 2003 they didn't know how to draw a circle in game

thx for this amazin title.
WIN 10 ISTALLATION
1) download the ISO file of Enter The Matrix.
2) you have to download DaemonTools (https://www.daemon-tools.cc/ita/products/dtLite#page) for mount the mdf.file that is the Play Disk (disk 4)
3)mount the first iso (disk1) and run the istall, follow the istruction (it will ask to insert other disk, so mount other iso file that you find in the download folder).
4) when you have to mount the play disk (disk 4), don't panic. open the largest mdf. in the folder with DeamonTolls and all will works great.
5)istall 1.2 Patch
6) run with compatibility on "windows xp service pack2" and admin privileges
7) have fun!
cheers
