Why the max payne 3 game does not start.

For novice users, the main problem could be directly launching the Max Payne 3 game. In principle, there is nothing complicated here. If you purchased a digital copy of the game, then first you need to download it from the service, and only then proceed with the installation. If you bought a disc, then you need to insert it into the drive and wait for autoload. After starting the application, a special dialog box will open where you need to confirm the license agreement. Then you just need to follow the instructions and specify the installation path.

Upon completion of the installation procedure, you can start the game, but if the user does not have an account with RockStar Social Club, then it will not work. To do this, you either need to go to their official website and use the registration procedure to make a profile for yourself, or go through the procedure for creating it directly in the game. To do this, you will need to specify a username and password for your account, email, enter your name and date of birth. After the confirmation letter arrives in the mail, you will need to follow the link to activate your account. Then you can enter the game with the specified data and enjoy it.

Resolving startup problems

It is worth noting that the procedure for setting up and creating a Social Club account is far from the only problems that players may face. For example, the game may conflict with the antivirus software installed on the computer and will not start because of this. It is enough to turn off the antivirus for a while and start the game. If this does not help, then there may be a conflict with User Account Control. To solve the problem, disable this function. You need to open "Control Panel", select "User Accounts" and then "User Account Control Settings". In the window that appears, move the slider until the inscription "Never notify" appears and save the changes. In addition, it is advisable to run the game with administrator rights. To do this, right-click on the shortcut for the Max Payne 3 game and select "Properties". In the window that appears, check the box next to "Run as administrator". It should be noted that in this case the user will need confirmation from the system administrator.

The game may not start due to the absence of certain components or the presence of their outdated versions. It is advisable to update Microsoft .NET Framework to version 3.5, install Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 SP1, and update DirectX (only DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 are supported). As a result of all these manipulations, the Max Payne 3 game will have to start.

Unfortunately, there are flaws in games: brakes, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not so much errors. Often, problems begin even before the start of the game, when it is not installed, loaded or even downloaded. And the computer itself sometimes freaks out, and then in Max Payne 3, instead of a picture, a black screen, the controls do not work, you cannot hear the sound or anything else.

What to do first

1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner (download by direct link) is a program that cleans your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
2. Update all drivers in the system using the program Driver Updater (download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
3. Install Advanced System Optimizer (download via direct link) and enable Game Mode in it, which will terminate useless background processes while launching games and improve game performance.

The second thing to do if you have any problems with Max Payne 3 is to check the system requirements. In an amicable way, you need to do this even before buying, so as not to regret the money spent.

Max Payne 3 minimum system requirements:

Windows XP, Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 Gb RAM, 35 Gb HDD, nVidia GeForce 8600 Video memory: 512 Mb

Every gamer should at least understand a little about the components, know why a video card, processor and other things in the system unit are needed.

Files, drivers and libraries

Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.

It's worth starting with the drivers for the video card. Modern graphics cards are made by only two major companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product is spinning coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the package of fresh drivers:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of Max Payne 3 is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:

If Max Payne 3 does not start, we recommend that you try to disable your antivirus or put the game in the antivirus exceptions, as well as check the system requirements again and if something from your assembly does not match, then if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful accessories.

Max Payne 3 has black screen, white screen, color screen. Decision

Problems with screens of different colors can be roughly divided into 2 categories.

First, they are often associated with the use of two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you play on a discrete one, then Max Payne 3 can be launched for the first time on the built-in one, and you will not see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens are in case of problems with displaying images on the screen. This can happen for a variety of reasons. For example, Max Payne 3 cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support a video card. Also, a black / white screen may appear when running at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

Max Payne 3 crashes. At a certain or random moment. Decision

You play to yourself, play and then - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop in front of you without any hint of a game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, it is worth trying to figure out what kind of problem the problem is.

If the crash occurs at a random moment in time without any regularity, then with a probability of 99% we can say that this is a mistake of the game itself. In such a case, fixing something is very difficult and the best thing is to just put Max Payne 3 aside and wait for the patch.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a failure.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a failure. In addition, you can download the save Max Payne 3 and bypass the place of departure.

Max Payne 3 freezes. The picture freezes. Decision

The situation is about the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather to a developer's error when creating it. However, quite often a frozen picture can become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.

So if the picture in Max Payne 3 freezes, then use programs to display statistics on the loading of components. Perhaps your video card has already exhausted its working resource a long time ago, or is the processor heating to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the load and temperatures for the graphics card and processors is in MSI Afterburner. If you wish, you can even display these and many other parameters over the Max Payne 3 picture.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and graphics cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards, they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. Processors have a little lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the state of the thermal paste. It may have already dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is warming up, then you should use the driver or the official utility from the manufacturer. It is necessary to increase the number of turns of the coolers and check if the operating temperature drops.

Max Payne 3 crashes. Low FPS. Frame rate drawdowns. Decision

With lags and low frame rates in Max Payne 3, the first step is to lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are a lot of them, so before you reduce everything in a row, you should find out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution... In short, this is the number of points from which the picture of the game is formed. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is insignificant, so you should reduce the screen resolution only as a last resort, when everything else no longer helps.

Texture quality... Typically, this parameter determines the resolution of the texture files. The texture quality should be reduced if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if a very old hard disk is used with a spindle speed lower than 7200.

Model quality (sometimes just detailing). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power of the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), Which means that this parameter should be reduced on video cards with a low core or memory frequency.

Shadows... They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are rendered in real time every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. For optimization purposes, developers often abandon full-fledged rendering and add pre-rendered shadows to the game. They are static, because in fact they are just textures overlaid on top of the main textures, which means that they load memory, and not the video card core.

Often, developers add additional settings related to shadows:

• Shadow Resolution - Determines how detailed the shadow cast by the object will be. If there are dynamic shadows in the game, it loads the video card core, and if a previously created render is used, it "eats" the video memory.
• Soft Shadows - smoothing out unevenness on the shadows themselves, usually this option is given together with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing... It allows you to get rid of ugly corners at the edges of objects through the use of a special algorithm, the essence of which is usually to generate several images at once and compare them, calculating the most "smooth" picture. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms, which differ in the level of impact on the performance of Max Payne 3.

For example, MSAA works "head-on", creating 2, 4 or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4 or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms such as FXAA and TAA act a little differently, achieving a smoother image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. As a result, they do not degrade performance as much.

Lighting... As with anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. They all use the resources of the video card, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on "green" ones. HDAO, on the other hand, is optimized for AMD video cards. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so in case of brakes in Max Payne 3 it is worth switching it.

What to reduce first? Shadows, anti-aliasing and lighting effects tend to work the most, so it's best to start with these.

Often, gamers themselves have to optimize Max Payne 3. For almost all major releases, there are various relevant forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.

One of them is a special program called Advanced System Optimizer. It is made especially for those who do not want to manually clean up the computer from various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. Advanced System Optimizer will do this on its own, and will also analyze your computer to identify how you can improve performance in applications and games.

Max Payne 3 lags. Big game lag. Decision

Many people confuse "brakes" with "lags", but these problems have completely different reasons. Max Payne 3 slows down when the frame rate at which the picture is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the latency when accessing the server or any other host is too high.

That is why "lags" can only be in network games. The reasons are different: poor network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low speed of the Internet connection.

However, the latter happens less often. In online games, communication between the client and the server takes place through the exchange of relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough for the eyes.

There is no sound in Max Payne 3. Can not hear anything. Decision

Max Payne 3 works, but somehow it doesn't sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play this way, but it's still better to figure out what the matter is.

First you need to determine the scale of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or in general on the computer? If only in the game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.

If there is no sound at all, then the matter is clearly in the computer setup. Perhaps the sound card drivers are installed incorrectly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error of our beloved Windows OS.

Controls not working in Max Payne 3. Max Payne 3 cannot see my mouse, keyboard, or gamepad. Decision

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? The problems of supporting specific devices are irrelevant here, because we are talking about familiar devices - a keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded, almost always the problem is on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but one way or another, you will have to contact the driver. Usually, when a new device is connected, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice, and gamepads are not compatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find exactly its driver. Often, devices from well-known gaming brands come with their own software kits, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot provide the correct operation of all functions of a particular device.

If you don't want to look for drivers for all devices separately, then you can use the program Driver Updater ... It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you just need to wait for the scan results and load the necessary drivers in the program interface.

Often, the brakes in Max Payne 3 can be caused by viruses. In this case, it makes no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can check your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32. The antivirus has proven itself to be the best and has received the approval of millions of users around the world.

ZoneAlarm is suitable for both personal use and small business, is able to protect a computer running Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats ... New users receive a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an anti-virus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to the development of security. On the developer's website, versions of antivirus programs are available for both PCs and mobile devices, a 30-day trial version is provided. There are special conditions for business.

Max Payne 3 downloaded from torrent does not work. Decision

If the distribution kit of the game was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of work. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the course of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games that are often used to verify licenses.

Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files are changed in them. For example, pirates modify an EXE file to bypass protection. At the same time, no one knows what else they are doing with it. Perhaps they are embedding self-executing software. For example, which, when the game is first launched, will integrate into the system and use its resources to ensure the welfare of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees here and cannot be.

In addition, the use of pirated versions is, according to our publication, theft. The developers spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own funds in the hope that their creation would pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if you encounter any problems with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using one or another means, you should immediately remove the "pirate", clean your computer with antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only save you from questionable software, but will also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

Max Payne 3 gives an error about missing DLL file. Decision

As a rule, problems associated with missing DLLs occur when Max Payne 3 starts, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs in the process and, not finding them, crash in the most insolent way.

To fix this error, you need to find the DLL you need and install it on your system. The easiest way to do this is with the program DLL-fixer which scans the system and helps you quickly find missing libraries.

If your problem turned out to be more specific, or if the method described in this article did not help, then you can ask other users in our "" section. They will help you quickly!

Thank you for your attention!

And now, a little after the release Max Payne 3 on PC, we are glad to present you the Russian version of the technical support translation from the official website Rockstar games, now you have the opportunity to sort out your problems and solve them in the end.

And so, we have already received patches with some changes, below is a list of patches and links to them, by going through which you can find out what they fixed, perhaps your problem was solved a long time ago (although the game is updated automatically immediately after launch).

This problem has been fixed in, but if you still get a similar error from below, the steps to prevent it are described.

In particular, this problem occurs if you run the game not on behalf of the administrator, in which case you need to use the administrator account or run the game as administrator or there are compatibility issues, for this you need:

Right-click on the shortcut with the game - Run as administrator;

Right-click on the shortcut with the game - Properties - Compatibility - Set compatibility with your OS, or if you have Windows 7 then leave the compatibility on Windows 7;

At the moment of official support Max payne 3 and La noire not on Windows 8, but they run and work fine there, so if problems arise, Rockstar Games and technical support will not be able to help.

A very common error that occurs for both retail and Steam users with a disc, below are a number of steps that can help fix this error.

Latest driver versions
Make sure that you have the latest drivers installed, in particular sound drivers and drivers for a video card, if you do not know where to find them, you can follow the link and find the company corresponding to your computer in.

Conflict with antivirus software
Your antivirus may be conflicting with Social Club and working shell Max payne 3to test this, disable / uninstall your antivirus, instead you can temporarily use Microsoft Security Essentials to feel safe.

Make sure the game starts correctly
When starting the game in Steam, you must make sure that the program Steam pre-launched, if not done, the game will not start. Also, if MP3_Launcher.exe does not start, you can start the game, click "Cancel" and try to start again.

Disable User Account Control
Make sure you run the game as an administrator and disable User Account Control.

Start - Control Panel - User Accounts - Change User Account Control (move the slider to the bottom);

Right-click on the Max Payne 3 shortcut - Properties - Run as administrator;

Run in compatibility mode
You can run the game in compatibility mode with your current OS by right-clicking on the shortcut Max payne 3 - Properties - Compatibility, and there indicate your system, if this does not help you try to choose an OS with Service Pack, and also if you run the game through Steam, then put compatibility on it as well.

Error launching on Steam version
This problem was completely solved, it is necessary for the game to be installed on the C drive, and also it is necessary to add the .txt file with the identifier, then restart the computer and start the game through Steamif you can't run through MaxPayne3.exe in the root folder with the game.

The game must be installed in the directory of the Steam program, in no case C: / Games / MaxPayne3, you must install the game in C: \\ Games \\ Steam \\ steamapps;

In the root folder with the game, you need to create a text file named steam_appid.txt, add numbers to it 204100 , after these steps restart the computer.

Reinstall Social Club manually for Steam version
Try reinstalling Social Club manually and then rechecking the correct way to install the service c: / program files / steam / steamapps / common / max payne 3 / mp3_installers / Social Club v1.0.9.5:

• For Windows 32 bit - Program Files \\ Rockstar Games \\ Social Club;
• For Windows 64 bit - Program Files (x86) \\ Rockstar Games \\ Social Club.

Install the required software
Check if you must have installed all the software you need to run the game, which is on the disc with the game as well as described below in our article.

The game, like the Social Club, is very demanding and very capricious about the installed software, so you need to take this into account and know. You can find all the necessary software on the disc with the game DVD 1 or DVD 4. If you have a Steam version, you can find all the links to the software you need below.

Many have faced the problem of endless loading Max payne 3, or else initialization hangs Social Club... Usually you can get out in this way, press the "Home" key - authorize in the system, but if this does not help, then below are a number of recommended actions for this problem. The solution to the problem was never found in Rockstar Games.

• To restart a computer;
• Checking the cache on Steam (if you have Max Payne 3 Steam version);
• Run the game as administrator (Properties - Run as administrator);
• Install the latest drivers on your computer and the necessary software;
• Set compatibility with your system on the shortcut of the game and the Steam program;
• Temporary disabling of anti-virus protection;
• Reinstall Social Club;

If the bug is still present, keep us informed, a patch is coming.

Many people, while playing multiplayer or connecting to the server, get the following error “You were excluded from the game due to connection problems.” This occurs due to the fact that Rockstar Games servers are located far from Russia, and therefore these problems are still to be solved in no way, in addition, we are advised to open the necessary ports that should improve the stability of the network and reduce ping.

Matchmaking: UDP port 27900

NAT negotiation: UDP port 27901

Activate: Port 443

If that doesn't help, try opening the ports listed below:

• 27900
• 28900
• 29900
• 29901
• 13139

Below is a list of programs that can create a network conflict:

• Windows XP Firewall
• Norton Internet Security
• Tiny Personal Firewall
• Zonealarm
• Sygate (proxy)
• Wingate (proxy)
• Internet Connection Sharing aka ICS - provided by Windows 98SE and higher (proxy)
• Linksys Routers (hardware firewall)
• D-Link Routers (hardware firewall)
• Cisco Routers (hardware firewall)

The video explains how to open ports

Many owners of laptops with a built-in video card NVidia Optimus there were problems with L. A. Noire, but later decided to release new patches. The situation repeats with Max payne 3, the developers suggest a number of actions that can fix the problem.

Update the driver video or restore the original settings (NVidia Control Panel - Manage 3D Settings - Global Settings - Restore);

Specify a command in the command line when starting the game –adapter 1, which will change the display.

Some players got a launch message Max payne 3 that Social Club cannot connect to the Internet, thereby displaying a message like “You are not connected to the Internet”. This problem is trivially solved by disabling the antivirus and running on behalf of the game administrators, but if the problem persists, use the documentation on opening ports, which is indicated a little higher.

If you do not have a key entry field, then use the launch in "Safe Mode" or use windowed mode.

If you encounter a “CRC error” while installing a game, there are several things you can think of and how to fix them.

• File system (the file system must be NTFS, for this, click on the local disk on which you are installing the game with the right mouse button and select properties, and you will find the line "file system");
• Damaged disc (to reveal this, you need to try to install the game several times, or try on another computer, if the game does not install on another computer, then your disk is damaged);
• Damaged DVD drive (in this case, you also need to try to install the game several times, and try on another computer, if it is installed on another, then your DVD drive is unusable);

Steam users have encountered a number of issues, such as an error entering a license key or game being idle, so Rockstar Games recommends a number of steps to fix this issue. The developers have not yet found a solution to this problem.

• Reinstall Social Club as mentioned above in our article;
• Run Steam and Max Payne 3 in compatibility mode with your system;
• Run Steam and Max Payne 3 as administrator;
• Launch Steam first and then the Max Payne 3 shortcut;

A lot of players faced a problem NSIS errors, which indicates damage to the game files and the integrity of the media. As a result, the developers have released a small list of recommendations that will help get rid of the error.

• Delete temporary files Start - Run -% Temp%;
• Reinstall Social Club, uninstall and install a special program from the game disk Disk1 / Redistributables \\ RGSC \\ Social Club Setup.exe;
• The path with the game must not contain spaces, for example D: / Games / MaxPayne3;
• Reinstall the game while removing all game files, including Social Club;
• During installation, turn off antivirus / firewalls, they can create a conflict due to which some game files will not be installed;

This error can still occur if there are viruses in your system, the Windows kernel has been changed, you use tweakers and other programs that change the Windows shell.

Some users of Kaspersky Anti-Virus have encountered a series of problems, below are recommendations that will help get rid of these problems. Also the error “Module error: mzvkbd3.dll_unloaded” or “Module error: sbhook.dll_unloaded” can be fixed.

• Temporarily disable Kaspersky Anti-Virus and try to start the game;
• Reinstall the game with antivirus / firewall turned off;

Some owners ASUS equipment, an error occurs, as a result of which we discovered that this may occur due to incompatibility of programs Asus OSD and Smart Doctor which need to be removed for more comfortable operation of the application. The error can be identified by the conflict atkdx11disp.dll file.

In connection with the increasing complaints about conflicts between the PC version of Max Payne 3 and Punkbuster, it recommends disabling it when starting the game, conflicts are possible due to which the game may not work, give an error and crash.

Some players received an error like “ERR_NO_SOUND”, which means that no sound device is currently connected, or the drivers are not installed correctly. The solution to this problem can be considered depending on the equipment vendor, in some programs that come with the sound card, you can configure the connected outputs for devices, perhaps they are not configured correctly. When reconfiguring, restart your computer and try starting the game again.

Briefly about painful

The same computer cannot have both the Steam version and the regular version from the Max Payne 3 game disc;

There may be artifacts with images on ATI 2000/3000 series video cards, everything can be fixed by installing Catalyst Hotfix 12.4a drivers from the official AMD website;

Poor performance on GeForce 600 series cards in windowed mode, disabling vertical sync helps;

Some experimenters try to set the resolution in the game more than necessary, and some video drivers do not stop this process, as a result of which the screen may darken. To do this, press Alt + F4 and exit the game, then try starting the game in safe mode.
