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.
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 suffers from multiple issues, one being the complete lack of multiplayer, due to the GameSpy services being shut down.[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[9] |
---|
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. |
Copy installation[citation needed] |
---|
The game must be installed under
|
Unable to sign into Rockstar Games Social Club
Delete files[10] |

|
Game will not launch
- The game will not launch for many users.[11]
Change to DirectX 9[12] |
---|
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 to Max Payne 3 folder |
---|
Copy ddraw.dll from Windows\System32 folder, or SysWow64 folder (different file size), or just download Custom ddraw.dll changes mouse feeling too. Or maybe not in every case for better. It can be easily tested even in main menu.
|
This error is usually caused by having an Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter plugged into USB.
Remove Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter[citation needed] |

---|
For the error message "no activations remaining for this activation key" or "cannot contact activation server [15] when trying to activate the game over socialclub.
