Rockstar is releasing a Max Payne 3 PC patch tonight. The update should deal with a number of problems, from compatibility issues to mouse acceleration.


Here's the full PC information from the developer:

"Issues fixed by tonight's patch are below. Our goal is to get everyone up and running as smoothly as possible so be sure to hit http://support.rockstargames.com if you are having any specific issues.

Compatibility Issues
Fixed reported issues with needing service packs, compatibility with incorrect OS.

Various Crashes
Fixed a range of issues which could have led to crashes on startup and in-game.

Audio Crash
Fixed reported issues of audio dropouts when no audio device was plugged in, or when the headphones/speakers disconnected while in game.

Mouse Sensitivity
Fixed reported issues of mouse being sluggish, especially in prone and Shootdodge™. Increased top end range of mouse sensitivity, but kept the slider from 1-10, allowing the user more range in their sensitivity setting.

Mouse Acceleration
-Fixed reported issues of mouse acceleration affecting aiming, included commandline option to disable mouse acceleration, -nomouseaccel (In a future update, this will be added as an option in the Mouse Controls menu).

Stretched Image / Wrong Aspect Ratio
-Fixed reported issues of game locked in incorrect aspect ratio, or alt-entering and having incorrect aspect ratio. Added commandline option for locked aspect ratio as commandline option -aspectratio width:height (ie. -aspectratio 4:3 / -aspectratio 16:9) In a future update, this will be added as an option in the Graphics menu.

Video Memory Reporting as 0MB
-Fixed reported issues of the video card reporting having 0MB of video memory available. Users unable to adjust Graphics options because of this (Also helps fix stuttering on some video cards).

We are aware of a few outstanding issues including multiplayer cheaters and hackers. Rest assured this will be dealt with in a forthcoming patch."

Max Payne 3 is available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC right now.

There were one patch already during the 5th, and then there will be one more patch I think.
Anyhow - they are very welcomed and much needed. The game is fun, but somethings are simply not as fun as I would have wished for and some things are simply sloppy - "we are console developers" errors when making games for a PC audience. Mouse acceleration should never ever be in a PC game that wants to be taken seriously! At least not on by default...
