Key points
- The PC version features high resolution textures, high quality shadows, tessellation and more PC-specific features while also being fairly well optimized.
- The OS X version also suffers from multiple issues, one being the complete lack of multiplayer, due to the GameSpy services being shut down.[2]

Audio settings
- Though the game doesn't use EAX.dll library, Creative Alchemy still can be used to noticeably enhance sound quality. It will just emulate DirectSound and 3D positional audio with OpenAl from translated DirectSound calls. For non-Creative cards users see here or use IndirectSound (worse quality - doesn't use OpenAL). dsoal library is incompatible with Max Payne 3 and (at least) with Max Payne 2.

Issues fixed
Nothing happens at "Initializing" screen
The game must be installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\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, there are two methods to solve the issue.
Symlinks[7] |
---|
It is possible to create a symlink to the folder containing the game, tricking the game into believing it is installed in the correct location.
Replacing Next time you run the game through Steam it will reinstall the prerequisites, and then let you play the game. |

|
Game will not launch
- The game will not launch for many users.[9]
Change to DirectX 9[10] |
---|
This can be fixed by going into safe mode, and changing the game to DirectX 9.
|
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 frame rate dependent sensitivities.
- There are currently no true fixes for the negative mouse acceleration.
Reduce graphics settings[citation needed] |
---|
Turning off FXAA, MSAA, and vsync may help to make negative mouse acceleration tolerable. |
Copy ddraw.dll from Windows\System32 folder, or other location, to Max Payne 3 folder |
---|
Custom ddraw.dll changes mouse feeling too. But not in ever case for better. It can be easily checked in main menu. Alternatively you can check ddraw.dll from SysWow64 folder (different file size).
|
This error is usually caused by having an Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter plugged into USB.
Remove Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter[citation needed] |
