But try deleting the clientregistry blob first and see if that helps.Īs for the Rockstar Social Club thing, I've never seen that happen before, but IIRC you don't have to be signed into that service to play the game so I'd just skip it. Personally I've never had a game require me to verify the cache every time I've played it, so I'm not sure what that's about. Go into your Steam directory and find the clientregistry.blob, and delete it.

*Dishonored was also giving me the UAC prompt every time behavior, but I tracked that down to it wanting to install an older version of PhysX than was installed with my latest nVidia drivers.įor the second, before you redownload the entire game, do this: I wonder if I screwed myself somehow? Even a "downloaded from Amazon" version would have required Steam, right?

The weird part is that the base game on my Amazon account page is listed as online (Steam) code only, but the DLC shows it has a 35 GB download option. Maybe I should reinstall the game (redownloading 30-some GB is painful, but what the hell) with the AV turned off? or switch to MSE or something? Re-install Steam?* BTW running Steam or the game as Administrator doesn't seem to make a difference.Īlso, if it makes a difference, I picked the game up during the Thanksgiving weekend from Amazon-I picked the "online code" deal with the DLC for 20 bucks. I don't know if this makes a difference, but I use avast! antivirus free version.

If I don't do the check, when I run the game the next time it usually crashes during a cutscene, or when I quit the game.ģ) Almost every time I run the game, Rockstar Social Club asks me to recover the activation-I'll get a screen that prompts me with something called a "request code" and I just hit the back button and my game key is pre-filled in, so I hit activate and it says "Thank you for activating your game" as if it were the first time. Hi all, maybe someone has experienced the following issues with the otherwise excellent Max Payne 3, and can shed some light on what I should do.ġ) Every time I run the game, I get the UAC prompt telling me that steamservice.exe wants to make changes to my computer (I'm running Win 7 Ultimate, 64 bit).Ģ) Every time I run the game, I have to "verify integrity of game cache" and it always finds a file that failed the integrity check.
