[QUOTE=FlameCow;36154205]Just bought this game. Downloading now. 7 more hours...[/QUOTE] 20GB, 11 and a half hours. Fuck you :(
[QUOTE]'d be nice to see some custom maps that don't chuck you into a story situation, i'm sure that people will eventually be able to do script mods that set up like waves of enemies for custom maps or something, I doubt we'll see any free roaming maps but you never know, we might.. liberty city wouldn't feel right though, if someone actually did get vehicles, a cop system working, etc etc, then maybe.. but I just see it as being an extremely lifeless world should someone decide to port it over[/QUOTE] keep fucking dreaming.
[QUOTE=Toomuchfags;36154237]keep fucking dreaming.[/QUOTE] How am I dreaming in the first place? If the game's structure is anything like GTA 4's, it will be modable and maps will be interchangable, and vehicles will be created and new enemies with different models and new weapons will be created. It's obvious, unless Rockstar shuns modification and stops players from doing so, it's going to happen. Just imagine, in four or five months, someone is going to end up porting the entire GTA 4 map into Max Payne 3, just imagine fucking around in a city. Shoot dodging off of buildings. Just imagine, in a few months someone will make new character models that will replace other ones, or add completely new ones, this could be an addition to the person that ported the gta4 map, they could easily whip up a script making them randomly spawn on side-walks. Just imagine, in possibly seven to eight months someone will end up making cars and other vehicles, this, could work in conjunction as I've said before. Just imagine, in probably a few months someone will make new weapons. This could work in conjunction with the other modifications I've stated above Having a full fledged free-roam map with everything seen in GTA 4, except you have the pleasures of having much better shooting mechanics, and euphoria which is updated to be more realistic than ever, including procedural animation mixed with euphoria being generated by Bullet physics, as well as.. actual bullet physics and bullet drop. This is dreaming. Just having a map being ported over to another game, especially one using the RAGE engine is not. But everything I've stated is also possible, so it's technically not dreaming either.
How the hell did some of you guys get 6+MB/s downloads? I'm on a 100Mb/s connection and all I get from my country's servers are 50KB/s (1.5MB/s from the US is the best I've found).
Finished installing/Decrypting MP3. Launched MP3, MSE asked about checking MP3, I pressed cancel in hopes to just play MP3. But now it crashes in the opening text about Rockstar trademarks and shit.
[IMG]http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/5/15122063179-orig.png[/IMG] So fucking annoyed.
What do?
Use the 'fix' or wait for official patch.
What fix? [editline]1st June 2012[/editline] As for the MSE detecting something and MP3 crashing at start.
The 'crack' or whatever, I don't know if it counts as warez? It actually fixes the game.
What? can you find some link for that, or any other similar fix? i don't wanna get cracking u know.. There was some fix in the max payne 3 rockstar support, like downloading some ms netframe 3.5.. didn't help as expected
The problems is the exe. Official exe crashes, the modified exe works flawlessly, isn't that laughable.
[url]http://support.rockstargames.com/entries/21516788-net-c-directx-nothing-happening-after-pressing-launch-in-max-payne-3-for-pc[/url] so i shouldn't waste my time with that bullshit? and as for this official exe crash bug, should i just google "max payne 3 crack" ? :I [editline]1st June 2012[/editline] where to download the modified exe u speak of?
Didn't fix it for me, still got crash. Do as I do, copy the folder to another place, put in the fixed files there. So you don't go mixing and end up having to redownload everything.
what fixed files ??? why cant you just say where you got em [editline]1st June 2012[/editline] this is bullshit
[QUOTE=SweFox*;36154401]The problems is the exe. Official exe crashes, the modified exe works flawlessly, isn't that laughable.[/QUOTE] My official exe works without a hitch. Non-steam version btw.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;36154504]My official exe works without a hitch. Non-steam version btw.[/QUOTE] Yea, I think this problem only happens to Steam users? First we have the space between letters so the game refuses to start, if you delete space you get a crash, apply modified exe and it works flawlessly. Sucks. I want to play the official way, through Steam.
Dear christ it's 30gbs what the fuck
Great. I'm in chapter eight and my game crashes whenever I take damage. I can't even get through the first room with bad guys.
Has anyone tried torrenting MP3 then moving the game files to the Steam folder and letting the verification handle the eventual issues? Because if I wait for Steam's DL the universe will reach Heat Death and I'll decay into Fe-56 by the time it's at 50%. Disclaimer: I own a perfectly legal MP3 Steam copy, I am not pirating the game nor am I asking for links of such things, just wondering if it works.
Guys so I start up MP3... then the update dialogue comes up. It updated once, and then it disappeared and nothing happens. I tried the cracked version because of what you guys were talking about, but no dice :( What do i do? EDIT: The game is installed on a separate drive to my OS drive? Thats not a problem, is it?

I did this, I copied the Max Payne 3 folder to another location, removed space and applied the fix, WORKS. So the the exe is at fault. Guys, don't go deleting stuff, redownloading. There is no fault with the files themself, just the exe. I can play now, without Steam, but I want to play with Steam...
Got the game to launch with the modified exe, this is so fucking good oh my god. Everything is super smooth and incredibly intense. The controls work perfectly, aiming is great, I can line up headshots pretty well. I don't use cover all that much, mostly rely on shootdodging and it hasn't been all that hard, I guess it really was just the case of console controls not working all that great. And the optimization is amazing, I was expecting to run it on medium, but I'm running it on all high, with HDAO and it's running silk smooth. [editline]1st June 2012[/editline] This is actually one of the best PC versions of a multiplatform game in a long time, Rockstar weren't lying saying they made sure the engine works perfectly on PC.

Share the mod exe to us
What kind of a modified exe are you people talking about?
Yes, it'd be good with some guidance so there's no chance of downloading something completely different, non-functional and perhaps virus-infested.
