Some high praise in here - can't wait to play - but I've just got back to find it was decrypting the part of the download it had finished by 5am, stuck on 100% and wouldn't continue til I closed the decrypt window.
On 82% and downloading at a pathetic 200kB/s unlike last night - gonna have to wait

I'm having major problems getting my retail version to work. It took ages to install and patch up. Then it started up in windowed mode, so I changed to dx11 and turned up some other settings. When it restarted it crashed with no error message so I forced it to use dx9 and it works in full screen, only now its stuck in dx9 mode.
At least you have a game to play - mine wont even boot up!
I have been too'ing and and fro'ing with Rockstar support in the US from 2pm onwards both by email and phone and still not gotten anywhere. Though the guys have been helpful I am not confident that this will get fixed.
ShopTo have already said that they will take my copy back and give me credit which is fine by me as I have an number of preorders with them. Then I will get the Steam version of Max Payne 3. Hope they do fix it over the next few days though.
Really enjoying it so far!!!!! Graphics are great and story seems to be decent so far. Gameplay is decent too.
No Valkyr in the game though
You V junkie.
My retail disc took at least 45mins to install. Crashed after the first cut scene but plays fine.

Yeah, you need two cards.
Getting in the region of 60fps with a single 7970 with dips into high 40s on occasions with a mild OC but its not smooth.
Great game though, very cinematic, beyond GTA IV and pretty much anything else I have seen.
The way the characters move and talk is incredible.
BTW: AMD Released drivers and CAP package for the game last night (12.6).
Glad it lives up to the quality of the original two.

I'm astounded by the performance of this game, unless Afterburner's readout is lying to me or the game isn't actually running at the highest settings. I've been fearing the worst ever since I saw that recommended spec a while back stating you need a GTX680 to play it at full whack (including tessellation and SSAO), but I'm getting like 200fps using my GTX470 (stock) at 1080p.
On another note: I tried turning vsync on to limit my frame rate (running at 200fps makes my GPU work an unnecessary amount), but it doesn't seem to be working. Wondering if anyone else has a similar problem?
