I've been using the SMAA injector and it's been fantastic, hardly any blur, unlike FXAA.

Get v1.2 and copy the contents from the DX10 folder into the Max Payne 3 dir that has the .exe in it. Use the "pause" button on your keyboard to toggle it on or off while in game.
Loving the PC version, played halfway through the 360 version in anticipation. This game just does it for me. Wish I could skip through some of the cut scenes, but im so excited to get back to the action, it's always worth the wait.

Yeah really strange to leave that out. I selected restart chapter by accident and couldn't go back to my last point after that which was annoying.

Anyone run into the issue thats preventing Steam users from even starting the game? The steam forum is lit up with all sorts of topics and posts about it, and I'm affected as well. Game just won't start at all. So disappointing

I've spent about 7 hours since the game came out trying to get it to work. So far, by using this workaround and a cracked .exe, I've managed to get to the R* logo screen before I crash and the whole time the game is bouncing between fullscreen and windowed mode for no apparent reason.
I couldn't even get the game to launch before, though, so at least I'm making progress

This runs pretty good on my pc with my gtx 590
At 1920x1080 I can have everything on max.
But MSAA gives me some weird outlines around the people and the fps takes a little hit so Im just using max FXAA insted.

I don't know, so far the game isn't very attractive imo. Alan Wake had me more impressed so far. Still early on but it seems a bit rough around the edges (visually). Gameplay feels sluggish on MSAA but smooth on FXAA but I'll try the injector.

I've got the Steam version as well. I downloaded a different crack and I've managed to get SP working now. I haven't tried MP and I've only played the story mode for about 10 minutes, but it's finally working lol.
I love PC gaming...

Wow. Color me impressed with the multiplayer. Much better than I expected. R* put a lot of work into it and it shows. Would love to play with some of you guys. R* social name is jacksk3llington
Happy to hear the pirates got your game working.

Is there a comparison between tesselation and non-tesselation? I can't even notice a difference.
Yep, almost thought I was the only one. I can barely get through the intro cutscene before it freezes forcing me to restart, I thought Rockstar would have put more effort into this.
Very disappointed so far.

Weve closed the gap between console and PC release dates, which is something the community had been wanting us to do for a long time, and the PC version has been tested on a huge range of hardware.
Only news that matters to me. Hopefully this means that GTA 5 will release timely on PC.

doesnt seem to be working for me for some reason :/
mouse thing still happens. Game's framerate is much smoother when I play with a gamepad, doesnt make any sense..

Cool, thanks for that.
One more thing to ask the thread. Does anyone have pixelation on certain textures? I've seen quite a few textures in some areas that look really pixelated. Similar to this.
Does anyone have any idea why this may be?
Thanks.
Oh my god I decide to play with the 360 controller since the game just seems to have a better framerate that way for whatever fuck reason and the wireless reciever dies on me.
Literally died, PC doesnt recognize it anymore, no light, nothing. Googled a bit and it seems its quite common for these piece of shit things to suddenly die out of nowhere. M$ for you.
I cleared this day out to play this game, fuck everything im going to bed.
edit: but not before I find some goddamn table to FLIP

I've been reading it for 10 minutes and I still don't understand what Phong has to do with tessellation. But hey, if you think phong tessellation looks good, watch out for oren-nayar or ward anisotropic tessellation (lolwut)
Edit: Reading the actual paper and Phong still seems like a bit of a reach for a name.

format your pc then and try again
Go back to posting pretty GTA 4 screenshots!
Is it me or does the animation twitch out when max turns while crouch walking? I'm using a 360 controller, but also have a g13 and mouse plugged I can't tell if something is wrong? I'm also getting a weird thing where Aftterburner tells me the frame rate is 200+, while fraps seems to have it at 60.

Fraps tells me 60 but evga precission tells me 180+ with everything maxed, I don't care as the performance is awesome regardless.
What do you mean "twitch out"?

It's possible to fix that with some solder or a circuit writing pen as described here. I did that and it worked fine again.
Uhn, you sure you read the paper? The guy behind the technique, his name is Phong. The method is named after him not really that crazy of a name
Read about this, will do it tomorrow.
Played some more, angrily so! but still. Got to bald part, game is really really awesome, and Hard is quite challenging.
Just mad at the issues im having, but the game is great. I lowered to dx10.1 turned off MSAA and im mantaining steady 60fps for the most part. Its quite the jaggie land, but i'll deal.
Hopefully there's more patches/fan fixes/ways to force AA and whatnot by the time I do a second playthrough on hardcore
At least you're playing the game. My friend and I spent about four hours trying to launch the game yesterday, with no results. The game launches, we see the screen with all the trademarks blabbering, and then we're back to Windows with no error message whatsoever. And looking at various forums (even Steam) we're not alone.
What's funny, some people said that installing the game in a folder with no spaces in the folder path (e.g. "C:\MaxPayne3" instead of "C:\Max Payne 3") resolved the problem (apparently LA Noire PC had similar problem :lol), but that doesn't work for us.
It's really disheartening when you know that instead of trying various shit posted on R* support page in order to run the game you bought you could simply download a crack and play the fucking game. :/
Oh please I need this so bad, I'm like 10 mb over my limit if I max the settings, barring msaa, I really need a fix
I'm getting a new gaming laptop and was wondering if I can take full advantage of Max Payne 3 with these specs.

Will I be able to use full tessellation and everything with this? Thanks in advance.

Might as well use adaptive vsync.

Really impressed with how this runs and looks. The transition between the in-game cutscenes and the video cutscenes is actually kind of jarring, as they seem to be at around 30FPS.

Damn, 29GB download. Of course my ISP (Cox) just started enforcing 200GB/month bandwidth caps. Assholes.
Yes definitely, noticed it a lot in favela when max was checking a flyer on the floor, very very pixelated floor texture.Cool, thanks for that.

The game runs really great for me.
If someone cares:
I5-3550
8GB RAM
Radeon 7850 OC
I play in 1080p with all settings at highest (tesselation too). FXAA on, MSAA off. 60fps all the time so far as I can tell.
You can spot the prerendered cutscenes easily because they only have 30fps.
Game says its using 975MB video memory.
Im playing with the 360 pad. You activate bullet time by pressing the right stick (took me till chapter 3 to figure it out)
Loving the game, well worth the wait. The shootouts and physics are awesome.

I played it on console and did not dig it. Fired it up on PC yesterday and kept playing for a few hours, I'm really loving the multi now
Payne killer is a blast, but the spawn system sucks hard.

I would say almost more than likely. This game seems to be extremely optimized and with those specs there's no reason to think you can't Mac it MSAA aside. My GTX 680 can't Max with full MSAA at 60fps. That aside you should have no issues.

Out of curiosity... I read in another forum a guy claiming that roughly 60% of the size of this game is used to store these high resolution prerendered cutscenes.
Is this actually the case? Cause judging from the comments and screenshots in this thread I though those 30 giga were mostly used in high-res textures.

Just came in to say the games runs bloody amazing for a R* port. Even on my ancient machine it runs like a dream on the highest settings although I turned tessellation down to medium!
I did not expect it to run this well at all and was more than ready to upgrade my machine.
My pathetic specs:
Q9400 @ 2.66ghz
GTX 560 ti
6GB RAM
