Revision as of 14:20, 2 April 2015
Warnings
- The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.
- GameSpy online services have been shut down (see Network for solutions).
Key points
- The ambient occlusion setting should be set to SSAO, due to the way it performs.[1][2]
- The PC version features high resolution textures, high quality shadows, tessellation and more PC-specific features while also being fairly well optimized.
- Max Payne 3 requires the Rockstar Games Social Club DRM to be installed in order to fully activate the game, along with all its DLCs separately, it also uses a fairly restrictive DRM called GameShield IronWrap.[3]
- The OS X version also suffers from multiple issues, one being the complete lack of multiplayer, due to the GameSpy services being shut down.[4]
- Unnecessarily forced, long loading times during most cutscenes.

Issues fixed
Nothing happens at "Initializing" screen
The game must be installed under C:/ProgramFilesx86/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Max Payne 3 in order for Social Club to load, which is required to play the game. If the game was installed to a custom steam folder, copy (not move) it to the default ProgramFilesx86 folder, then have Steam uninstall the game, then reinstall it to the default location. Steam will detect the existing files and fix the installation, and the game will proceed properly. If the problem is not solved:
- Ensure the MaxPayne3.exe does NOT have compatibility or Admin rights settings applied.
- Use the -scdetectproxy steam launch option.
- Delete the Social Club install folder. (Do not use the uninstaller.) Install an earlier version of Rockstar Games Social Club such as v1.0.9.7. Run the game and it will tell you to update the Social Club program. Run the installer from Max Payne 3's MP3Installers folder.
Unable to sign into Rockstar Games Social Club
Game will not launch
- The game will not launch for many users.[7]
Negative mouse acceleration and frame dependent mouse sensitivity
- Even after the patch which introduced a mouse acceleration toggle, some players experience negative mouse acceleration as well as framerate dependent sensitivities.
- There are currently no true fixes for the negative mouse acceleration.
Game goes to pause menu randomly
This error is usually caused by having an Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter plugged into USB.
Error code 1641 on launch
Game crashes with StackHash_XXX Error
ERR_OS_VISTA
- This error message can be caused on the Steam version of the game when Steam is forced by the OS into compatibility mode.
Graphics settings not saving
- Game may report that video memory is 0/0. This may be caused by older graphics drivers which need updating.
Steam version product key activation error
Requires Service Pack 1
- The game may show the error message 'Requires Service Pack 1 or superior'.
Asus software
- Asus software 'Smart Doctor' or 'Asus Gamer' may cause crashing.
