LA Noire (PC) Not Working

Hey guys, don't know if anyone else is experiencing this problem for the steam edition of LA Noire. When I start the game, the rockstar logo comes up, then the Team Bondi logo, the disclaimer. What I'm assuming is supposed to be the main menu is just a black screen. I can hear music playing, and the loading symbol with the two arrows in the bottom right is still rotating, but nothing happens. Any Ideas?

sounds like a video card driver issue. did you update your drivers?

I just updated my graphics driver, and then I verified the game cache through steam, and when I did that, the game started updating or installing again. So after it was finished, i hit verify game cache again... and now it's updating or installing again on my game list. Wtf steam.

Just restarted my computer, still has the same problem.

Please post your specs. It may help.

Not trying to be a prick but you did uninstall your old driver, restart, then install Catalyst 11.10? I've heard if uninstalled incorrectly that it can cause issues.

lol not related to this LA Noire issue but i've had a big WTF with steam the other day as well. I was installing my disc version of MW3 but instead of installing the game from the disc it started downloading the freaking 14 Gigs after giving me an error about busy steam servers.

Had to delete the game from my steam list and reinstall.

Been trying to figure this out, and this is the best I can come up with for now: http://support.rockstargames.com/entries/20646691-main-menu-missing-in-the-steam-version-of-l-a-noire-for-pc. There's not much other stuff out there, but it seems like people (if only a few) are having troubles with this too. I still can't get it to go, but hopefully Steam/Rockstar gets a fix going. If someone figures something out, please share. It's a bit frustrating to drop $50 on a game I can't even play.

Hey guys, how do you set the compatibility for windows 7 when you have windows 7?? i can only set it to the older ones, from 95 to vista...

I had a problem with Norton taking out the ypatcher AND main .exe of the game, after downloading it from Steam. I had to add exception to both, then re-verify my game in order to get it to work.

EDIT: Oh, and I also clicked the "Administrator" box on both the main .exe AND the Launcher for good measure, just in case.

Reading these posts about LA Noire makes me fear for the state of GTAV on PC :( biggest_loser

Why would these posts make you fear for GTA V? first these post are not uncommen for any pc-release and most are only a problem for the person who has postet it.

Yes there is some problems with some Antivirus programs flagging files from the game as a security risk, but thats not Rockstars problem.

All i have spoken to who have bought LA NOire have had zero problems and it is performing above anything on Xbox and Ps3 also having the extra DLC cases in the main game makes it for a much better experience, in fact one case is so clearly meant to be released with the main game but for some reason Rockstar has taken it out and decided to make it a DLC.

Another thing is the time before GTA V comes out, the release date is most likly 6-12months from now and most people will be on a whole new computer then and who knows what issues that will have, besides would PC people much rather want the game not to be released for PC?

turns out having .net 4.0 installed in windows 7 causes performance issues, kind of annoying if you need it for other programs...

All I can say is, I haven't had a single problem with the game so far, and I'm quite a few hours into it. It installed fine, patched fine, and runs fine. It looks pretty damn good too, really. I'd have no fear of purchasing GTAV on the PC at this point, personally.
