Max payne 3 crash(freeze) at menu, i never be able to play the game
i have done the validation to rockstar

now crysis 3 freeze after 5 or 10 min

i can't do nothing except hard reset :mad:
before i install max payne 3, i never had issue with crysis 3

i suspect something wrong in my config, because i always have trouble with it

last week i try to install win 7 and it never work properly :bang head , but with win 8
no problem :shock: and i hate win 8 :facepalm:

today i'm gonna try occt gpu test for an hour and after i'm gonna run unigin valley at max for 2 or 3 hours

my config :salute:
CPU: intel i-5 3570k OC at 4,3 ghz
MOBO: msi Z77A-GD55
RAM: 2X4G kingston hyperx1600 in dimm 2 and 4
GPU:2X gigabyte 7970 OC with GHZ bios at clock 1100 memory 1500 1,2v
PSU:antec true power 1200
HDD 2X 1Tera

the gpu temperature never going above 72° c
and all the bios and driver are up to date

i run this set up in surround triple screen 5760x1080
on max payne 3 i was never be able to change anything in menu becaus it crash after 5 or 10 sec.

if someone has an idea of ​​the test I could do, it would be great
if you need more specific info just tell it to me
sorry for my engliss :eh?: :screwy: i'm french and i do my best
 
Try going to Microsoft's website and downloading the newest DX11 installer then for your video card trying going back to the version before the newest one.

To me it seems like Max Payne 3 may have installed some software that most games use that may be causing your problems.
 
for my video card, do you talk about the driver

i install 13,5 beta driver and i'm now able to play crysis

i don't try max payne :shock: and i'm not sure if i want to try :bang head

i already have direct x 11

if changing drivers made it go away, then this post will add to my personal collection of
"why not buy AMD".

Most games have an error output log file somewhere, if you manage to find out why the crash occured it may help you find the cause (show me the log)

Or just bad drivers. . .
 
I don't know if it's driver problem
I don't reinstall max payne 3
If you see on steam forum
There a lot ,lot,lot of people have trouble with max payne 3
And half had use nvidia
 
before I had nvidia, and I often had driver problem
nvidia released a driver each week, it's not much better
i don't start thread to know what company is the best
I know nvidia has one step ahead

i'm waiting rockstart new's

sorry for my english, i use google traduction sometime
 
Finally
One part of the trouble come from validation
I have to wait one day's after inscription, before validate my game
And i think the other part of the trouble come from the driver
But i'm not sure
Now the game work without problem
 
Back
