    Congratulations with the prizes you won with LA Noire.
    Just completed the game for the 4-5 th time - and still enjoy all the missions.
    Best game ever - probably will be beaten by future R* games, MP3 & GTA V,
    but no game can beat the Film Noir/Old Hollywood feel...%0

        Very nice, bought it during the sale. I really hope to see more cases!

          Really pleased to see LA Noire still being tweaked for PC users. Thanks Rockstar, for keeping this masterpiece alive.

          But please, keep the DLC coming - I would pay you money to see further cases/missions in this self-same game-world, even ones entirely unrelated to Cole Phelps himself. It's just too good a game-world to see grow old and unused... more, more, more please!

          My only gripe is that the new DX11 has lost me my favourite (native Samsung monitor) resolution of 1388x768. Please can we have it back in a further update when convenient? Or an explanation why not, if it's not possible.

          Power to your collective elbows, Rockstar. Much love (from a former 1980s-90sActivision & Argonaut videogame producer/designer)

            Hey R* any chance this will ever get released officially and not just in a Magazine?

              I love this patch, the only problem I have is the removal of 1366 x 768 resolution.

              Thanks for supporting PC, Rockstar !

              Can't wait for the release of PC versions of Max Payne 3 and GTA V.

                Scratch that, the found the reason for the sound issues and it was not caused by the game or the new update. All is good. Just did a run across town in the game DX 9 vs DX 11. DX 11 is sooo smooth in comparison. The 30 FPS limit should no longer be a reason not to play this game.

                  The new DX 11 render patch does seem to make things smoother, so playing at 30 FPS is not as annoying anymore. Unfortunately the patch screws up the sound in the game for me. Whether using DX 9 or DX 11 Dialogue and sound effects have very low volume in comparison to the music now or are not audible at all. Anyone else getting this with the new update?

                    Perfect on XP x32, but on W7 x64 not working at all

                          Just started playing this game. It's sort of a mix between Heavy Rain and GTA, I love it!

                            Thanks! This update made the game much smoother, compared to before.

                            Thanks for supporting PC.

                                @JohannGeisser Cheers, hope you're having fun playing through the cases

                                @huckleberrypie Yes, we don't recommend using any files other than the ones officially provided by us, also thanks for the feedback on GameShield

                                  GameShield > Steam. Didn't have much problems with it.

                                      @Darren1967 - Yep, you're right about that. The DRM scheme seems too draconian imo, and from what it seems it kept even legitimate apps like Fraps that hook to the game from interfacing with it. From what I've heard the only way so far to get Fraps working on this would be using a hacked EXE, but that won't be good, right?

                                      R*, I think you guys should drop support for GameShield as at least some of us were having problems with it, and kept PC players away from this game.

                                          I couldn't find a comment section on the Max Payne site so I'll do it here. Why is it NONE of you're wallpapers fit on my screen i don't have an abnormally sized screen or anything but every single wallpaper I try gets the Max Payne 3 logo cut off! Maybe next time have the words written somewhere else other then the bottom of the image!
