L.a. Noire Patch Download Chip

Download L.A.Noire.Patch.Extracted. I confine myself to what must be regarded as a modest and reasonable request for some particle of evidence that the existing species of animals and plants did originate in that way, as a condition of my belief in a statement which appears to me to be highly improbable. Noire: The Complete Edition; Patch won't install! User Info: Joe3345. Download the patch from the internet. Use google to find out which one you need. Then you can download and install it outside of the game and then play. Intel Core2 Quad @ 2.33Ghz, 4GB DDR2, GeForce GT120.

Issues unresolved[edit]

Corrupt License File[edit]

When starting the game, a Social Club 'Corrupt License File' error message is displayed and the game refuses to start. This problem may occur if the game is not installed in Program Files in C:.[citation needed]

Unable to install game to FAT32 partition[edit]

Installation of the game will not work on partitions formatted using FAT32. This problem occurs in Steam when the progress of the download indefinitely 'suspends' around the 90% point. This is due to the fact that FAT32 has a file size limit of 4 GB. cases_1_1.big.pc weighs at around 5.17 GB, which is way beyond what FAT32 can handle.
Recommended course of action is to relocate the installation to an NTFS partition.

Windows 10 Steam version Complete Edition Social Club UI at Neon Lights[edit]

After logging into your Social Club account, you will be prompted to exit by pressing ESC.After pressing ESC, the screen does not advance to Main Menu.The music will be rolling, but the Social Club UI will keep on Pop Out but will not continue to Main Menu.

You will notice 2 Social Club UI (32 bit) in Taskmanager.

Seems to happen for Windows 10 64 bit Users playing with Steam's L.A. Noire Complete Edition.

You may be able to fix this issue by using an offline rockstar profile. Go to create account, and click on the little gray link that says use offline profile for this game.

You also might be able to completely bypass this issue if you also own GTA V (on steam). These are the steps I followed to correct my issue

  1. Download and install GTAV via steam
  2. Delete your 'Rockstar Games' folder (you probably should make a backup. It isn't very large and can store some important save files and settings)
  3. Verify integrity of GTAV (not LA Noire. I think that'll just reinstall the outdated Rockstar Social club which is causing the issues.) and launch it (just login with your rockstar credentials there)
  4. You should now be able to login within LA Noire.

NOTE: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO (to my knowledge) transfer an offline save online

Issues fixed[edit]

Freezing Title Screen[edit]

L.A. Noire for Windows is known to freeze at the title screen during the synchronization process, or immediately after, when the camera moves away from the L.A. Noire neon sign. There are several possible reasons for this. Some of the most common are:

  • Anti-Virus Related Issues where game files are misrecognized as malware.[8]
  • .NET Framework 3.5 or C++ runtime libraries are not properly installed or configured.[9]
  • Firewall prevents game from making a connection to the internet.
  • Compatibility options are set incorrectly on Steam.
Compatibility options set incorrectly on Steam[citation needed]
  1. Go to <Steam-folder>.
  2. Right-click on Steam.exe, choose Properties.
  3. Click on the Compatibility tab.
  4. Uncheck any boxes that are checked, and click Apply.
  5. Then, click the Show settings for all users button.
  6. Again, make sure none of these boxes are checked, and click OK.
  7. Click OK to close any open dialog boxes.
  8. Double click on Steam.exe to launch Steam.
Updating Microsoft Components[citation needed]
  1. Download and install the latest version of .NET Framework (4.5) here
  2. Download and install the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ (2010) here
  3. Choose from this page which version of DirectX you will be using and then download and install it

Notes

This may fix issues whereby the game fails to install or the Rockstar Games Social Club launcher (and therefore the game) fail to launch

Game Freezes on 64-bit Windows 7[edit]

On 64-bit Windows 7, the game might freeze as soon as the synchronization (refresh) symbol shows up, which appears right after the Team Bondi logo. This is due to the game being incompatible with the current version of the .NET Framework 3.5 installed into your system. This is also the main reason why the associated .NET Framework installer provided with the game won't install.

Fix the .NET Framework on 64-bit Windows 7[citation needed]
  1. Open the Start menu.
  2. Type optionalfeatures.exe and press Enter.
  3. Uncheck Microsoft Framework 3.5.1.
  4. Click OK. .NET 3.5 will be disabled and the user must restart.
  5. On next boot, go back and check Microsoft Framework 3.5.1. This will re-install .NET 3.5 and correct the issue.
If this does not work, run the .NET Framework clean-up tool, and then repeat the above steps.
If the problem persists after following the above, delete ypatcher.exe from <path-to-game>. The game should start up.

Game refuses to launch on 64-Bit Windows 10[edit]

On 64-bit Windows 10, the game won't get pass the splash screen that appears after you press 'Launch' on the game's launcher

Launch Steam as an Administrator[citation needed]
  1. Make sure that Steam is closed.
  2. Right Click on your Steam shortcut, and run Steam as an administrator
If you want to automate this process a bit, AND don't have Steam set to automatically start when your PC logs in, you can go into the compatibility settings, and enable run as administrator. However, this results in a slightly annoying prompt that appears before Steam signs in saying that 'compatibility mode is enabled' and might cause issues.

Slowdown, lag, or frame-rate issues[edit]

Tweaking game via command line switches[citation needed]
  1. Run the LANLauncher.exe in <path-to-game>.
  2. Click Options.
  3. Enter -str and/or -npd and/or +jobs_numThreads 0 (with a space between each command) in the Command Line field to enable a single threaded renderer, which may improve performance or compatibility on some systems.
  4. If the problem persists, switching the Renderer field to DirectX 11 in the same options menu can also improve performance significantly.
Disable the Steam Overlay[citation needed]

Crash-to-desktop on Windows 8[edit]

Apply patches for Windows 8 compatibility[citation needed]
It is recommended to first follow Rockstar's official instructions, and if this does not work then to follow the instructions below.
  1. Download this file containing fixed cases.big.pc and out.wad.pc files.
  2. Extract the .rar file to <path-to-game>, overwrite if asked.
  3. Update Rockstar Games Social Club to the latest version.
    • If the game was not purchased through Steam, you may also need to download and install a Windows 8 compatibility patch available from Rockstar.
  4. Launch the game.
If the above still does not work for the non-Steam version (and usually the game fails to start with no error message after the loading screen before leaving Windows), please reinstall the game to a location where there is no blank space throughout the target folder eg. if the game does not work installed in 'D:Program Files (x86)Rockstar GamesL.A. Noire', please change the target folder to something like 'D:GamesRockstarGamesL.A.Noire'. Then go through Rockstar's official instructions again in regards to installing the latest patches from Rockstar.[10]

Missing Main Menu[edit]

Verify integrity of game cache[citation needed]

Nvidia Video Driver crashes[edit]

Changing the Renderer[citation needed]
  1. Launch L.A. Noire as standard through RSC
  2. Go into the advanced video settings in the game menu
  3. Change the Renderer from DirectX 11 to DirectX 9
  4. Restart the game and the crashes should be fixed
This fix mainly applies to systems running an Nvidia graphics card on Windows 7 and 8
This will limit the amount of graphical fidelity available by limiting the DirectX version used.

Black border around game[edit]

This is caused by the display's overscan handling. See the Overscan entry for solutions, the linked article lists solutions for AMD, Intel and Nvidia chipsets.

USB Controller Problems[edit]

With certain controllers connected to the PC (e.g. Wheel or Flight pedals) a bug can occur with controller set to disabled in the game menus the game still tries to accept controller input for some game controls and ignores keyboard input. Most notably this occurs when trying to drive cars.
Use -joysticktype 1command line argument[11]

Run the game at screen refresh rate[edit]

When using the DirectX 11 renderer, fullscreen mode always runs at 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set screen refresh rate[4]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide. Manual local installation may work better.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>dxgi.ini or %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy ModsSpecialKProfilesLANoire.exeSpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
  4. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0.
  5. Change Center=false to Center=true.
  6. Change ConfineCursor=false to ConfineCursor=true.
  7. Change OverrideRes=0x0 to the resolution of your screen (e.g. OverrideRes=1920x1080).

Unable to reposition the window using mouse[edit]

Keyboard workaround[citation needed]
  1. Use Shift+Right Click on taskbar icon.
  2. Go to 'Move' with keyboard.
  3. Use Arrow keys to move window and press Enter.

Issues with Rockstar Games Social Club[edit]

For a list of issues check Rockstar Games Social Club page

Game crashes after launcher with no error message[edit]

Launch game as Administrator. If on Steam, exit Steam fully and launch it again as Administrator and then proceed to start the game.If the game doesn't launch, at least an error window should pop up. In the latter case, it may not be necessary to launch as Administrator after said error was resolved.

Command line parameters[edit]

Latest Wow Patch Download

To input launch parameters you have to open the launcher of the game, access the Options menu. There you can write the parameters into the Command Line field of the launcher. You might have to start the game manually using LANLauncher.exe located inside the installation folder to see the launcher. It's noteworthy that Steam always starts the game using LANLauncher.exe.

ParameterDescription
-ignorefocusDon't pause the game if you Alt-Tab or click out of its window.
-joysticktypeForce a specific DirectInput controller type. Can be used to try different controller button layouts if your controller isn't specifically supported. See Supported controllers.

-mousefreeAllow mouse outside the game window (requires windowed mode).
-nosoundDisables sound.
-npdDisable the D3D_PUREDEVICE flag from device creation. May help if you have graphics compatibility issues.
-strEnable single threaded renderer, which may improve performance or compatibility on some systems.
-windowedRun the game in a window.

Undocumented parameters[edit]

The following parameters are referenced inside the game's files and were likely intended for developer usage only. Their descriptions are taken directly from the game. There are many more that are completely unused, and therefore not listed here.

ParameterDescription
-debugburnMake flaming people never die!
-disablecrashhandlerDisable the crash handler.
-disablepostDisable Post Effects by default.
-dmtfDisable the D3D D3DCREATE_MULTITHREADED flag, could improve performance at cost of stability.
-dx11Run the game using DirectX 11.
-errTest out error messages. (No idea where these messages get sent to, but it's definitely used!)
-exitExit immediately (skip the main loop) to test clean shutdown.
-gamewellsAllow the player to use gamewells even if no conversation exists.
-noenvtexturesDon't stream any environment textures.
-nonvDon't intialise the nVidia API. (This may help improve performance for some users!)
-res <width> <height>Force game to run at resolution a specified resolution ( e.g. -res 1920 1080 )
-reviveAllow the player to be revived manually. (Seems to be referenced after dying in a gun fight. Not sure if it will actually do anything.)
-TexStreamSize <memsize>Override the Textures VRAM streaming pool size. (This seems to be in kilobytes? Not sure.)
-timeofday <time>Override the time of day from the scenario ( float 24 hour time, eg. 22.5 is 10:30pm)
-writedefsWrite out Attribute System definitions. (This one is really cool, it dumps out a bunch of .xml files into an attribute/defintions folder where L.A. Noire is installed!)
