Issues unresolved
Corrupt License File
When starting the game, a Social Club "Corrupt License File" error message is displayed and the game refuses to start. This problem may occur if the game is not installed in Program Files in C:.[citation needed]
Unable to install game to FAT32 partition
- Installation of the game will not work on partitions formatted using FAT32. This problem occurs in Steam when the progress of the download indefinitely "suspends" around the 90% point. This is due to the fact that FAT32 has a file size limit of 4 GB.
cases_1_1.big.pc
weighs at around 5.17 GB, which is way beyond what FAT32 can handle. - Recommended course of action is to relocate the installation to an NTFS partition.
Windows 10 Steam version Complete Edition Social Club UI at Neon Lights
After logging into your Social Club account, you will be prompted to exit by pressing ESC. After pressing ESC, the screen does not advance to Main Menu. The music will be rolling, but the Social Club UI will keep on Pop Out but will not continue to Main Menu.
You will notice 2 Social Club UI (32 bit) in Taskmanager.
Seems to happen for Windows 10 64 bit Users playing with Steam's L.A. Noire Complete Edition.
You may be able to fix this issue by using an offline rockstar profile. Go to create account, and click on the little gray link that says use offline profile for this game.
You also might be able to completely bypass this issue if you also own GTA V (on steam). These are the steps I followed to correct my issue
- Download and install GTAV via steam
- Delete your "Rockstar Games" folder (you probably should make a backup. It isn't very large and can store some important save files and settings)
- Verify integrity of GTAV (not LA Noire. I think that'll just reinstall the outdated Rockstar Social club which is causing the issues.) and launch it (just login with your rockstar credentials there)
- You should now be able to login within LA Noire.
NOTE: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO (to my knowledge) transfer an offline save online
Issues fixed
Freezing Title Screen
L.A. Noire for Windows is known to freeze at the title screen during the synchronization process, or immediately after, when the camera moves away from the L.A. Noire neon sign. There are several possible reasons for this. Some of the most common are:
- Anti-Virus Related Issues where game files are misrecognized as malware.[7]
- .NET Framework 3.5 or C++ runtime libraries are not properly installed or configured.[8]
- Firewall prevents game from making a connection to the internet.
- Compatibility options are set incorrectly on Steam.

Notes

Game Freezes on 64-bit Windows 7
On 64-bit Windows 7, the game might freeze as soon as the synchronization (refresh) symbol shows up, which appears right after the Team Bondi logo. This is due to the game being incompatible with the current version of the .NET Framework 3.5 installed into your system. This is also the main reason why the associated .NET Framework installer provided with the game won't install.

Black border around game
This is caused by the display's overscan handling. See the Overscan entry for solutions, the linked article lists solutions for AMD, Intel and Nvidia chipsets.
USB Controller Problems
- With certain controllers connected to the PC (e.g. Wheel or Flight pedals) a bug can occur with controller set to disabled in the game menus the game still tries to accept controller input for some game controls and ignores keyboard input. Most notably this occurs when trying to drive cars.
Use -joysticktype 1 command line argument[10]

Run the game at screen refresh rate
- When using the DirectX 11 renderer, fullscreen mode always runs at 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.

Issues with Rockstar Games Social Club
For a list of issues check Rockstar Games Social Club page
Game crashes after launcher with no error message
Launch game as Administrator. If on Steam, exit Steam fully and launch it again as Administrator and then proceed to start the game. If the game doesn't launch, at least an error window should pop up. In the latter case, it may not be necessary to launch as Administrator after said error was resolved.

Command line parameters
To input launch parameters you have to open the launcher of the game, access the Options menu. There you can write the parameters into the Command Line field of the launcher. You might have to start the game manually using LANLauncher.exe
located inside the installation folder to see the launcher. It's noteworthy that Steam always starts the game using LANLauncher.exe
.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
-ignorefocus | Don't pause the game if you Alt-Tab or click out of its window. |
-joysticktype | Force a specific DirectInput controller type. Can be used to try different controller button layouts if your controller isn't specifically supported. See Supported controllers. |
-L | Change the language - use English, French, German, Italian or Spanish, example -L french |
-mousefree | Allow mouse outside the game window (requires windowed mode). |
-nosound | Disables sound. |
-npd | Disable the D3D_PUREDEVICE flag from device creation. May help if you have graphics compatibility issues. |
-str | Enable single threaded renderer, which may improve performance or compatibility on some systems. |
-windowed | Run the game in a window. |
Undocumented parameters
The following parameters are referenced inside the game's files and were likely intended for developer usage only. Their descriptions are taken directly from the game. There are many more that are completely unused, and therefore not listed here.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
-debugburn | Make flaming people never die! |
-disablecrashhandler | Disable the crash handler. |
-disablepost | Disable Post Effects by default. |
-dmtf | Disable the D3D D3DCREATE_MULTITHREADED flag, could improve performance at cost of stability. |
-dx11 | Run the game using DirectX 11. |
-err | Test out error messages. (No idea where these messages get sent to, but it's definitely used!) |
-exit | Exit immediately (skip the main loop) to test clean shutdown. |
-gamewells | Allow the player to use gamewells even if no conversation exists. |
-noenvtextures | Don't stream any environment textures. |
-nonv | Don't intialise the nVidia API. (This may help improve performance for some users!) |
-res <width> <height> | Force game to run at resolution a specified resolution ( e.g. -res 1920 1080 ) |
-revive | Allow the player to be revived manually. (Seems to be referenced after dying in a gun fight. Not sure if it will actually do anything.) |
-TexStreamSize <memsize> | Override the Textures VRAM streaming pool size. (This seems to be in kilobytes? Not sure.) |
-timeofday <time> | Override the time of day from the scenario ( float 24 hour time, eg. 22.5 is 10:30pm) |
-writedefs | Write out Attribute System definitions. (This one is really cool, it dumps out a bunch of .xml files into an attribute/defintions folder where L.A. Noire is installed!) |
