I had the same issues with FPS. I fixed it by opening the launcher, selecting options, changing threading from multi to single, and changing the renderer from DirectX9 to DirectX11.

That solved my FPS problems and now I can play the game just fine with no issues.

Try that and see if it helps.

I wouldn't call this a poor console port. Just one with poor default settings.

I haven't been experiencing any pop-in or poor textures. On my rig, the game runs and looks fine. Everyone has different PC set-ups. Everyone is going to have a different experience. Stop acting like the game is of poor quality just because you couldn't get it to run properly. The problems you are experiencing could easily be an issue with your hardware or the game's settings, not the game itself.

You serious? It is a terrible port, My PC is more than capable to handle games like crysis 3, but cannot handle a simple xbox360 game? Your logic is flawed good sir!

Buddy, I use to be exactly like you. I thought my rig was some kind of invincible super PC that could handle anything just because it could run some high-end games on max settings like Tomb Raider 2013, Crysis 2, and Metro Last Light. This isn't about your PC not being up to snuff. This is about the game not being properly set up for your rig.

Being able to run Crysis 3 proves nothing. Granted, your PC is powerful, but not all games run on the Cry Engine. You can't expect all games to run the same just because a very graphically intensive game on a very specific engine runs well. I had FPS issues with L.A. Noire and now I can play it just fine, I just had to change the settings. The devs couldn't possibly know your rig's specs, so you can't expect all games to work right away. Some PC games need some tweaking on certain rigs. That is the entire reason why they have ajustable settings. At least try everything you can to get the game to work before you dismiss it as a "bad port". If you don't want to deal with ajusting games to work with your specific specs, then go to console gaming. Did you even bother to try the fix I suggested?

In my experience, this it not a bad port because I was able to get it to run fine and look great with very little effort. Like I said, everyone's experiences are different. PCs aren't consoles. Not everyone's PC runs exactly the same as everyone elses. You can't expect everyone to have problems with a game just because you do. That's all I was saying.

Try changing to a lower rez (My stock is 1920X1080 @ 60 Hz) lowered it to 1440X 900 then back to 1920x1080 seemed to fix it . worth a try PS thats using the in game options .. seems to change on its own... use fraps to display FPS you will notice almost every time it the screen changes to a diff size when ever you launch the game

Thing is mate, I have tried everything i've found, from command settings, to changing ini files, deleteding caches, re-installing and verifying game caches... It really is a bad port.. It may work on some rigs but it seems that the majority of people can't play it with a decent frame rate.. the fact it is locked at 30 in the first place says a lot.

Well, I'm sorry my suggestion couldn't help. I just changed the settings and now it works fine. So I can't think of anything else. I guess I could just be one of the lucky ones who has no issues. But I still don't consider this a bad port. If you do then fine, but it works for me, so to me it's good. I wish I could help more but I really can't think of any more suggestions.

Also, a lot of people have said the reason the game is locked at 30 FPS is because the actor's facial features were recorded in 30 FPS. If they bumped it up to 60 FPS the voices and the facial movments in-game would be out a sync. It's not like they could re-record all the actors again just for a port. I guess that's one of the downsides to the game's advanced facial recording technology. If they recorded it in 60 FPS in the first place and locked it at 60 FPS I'm sure people would be complaing about that. Can't please everyone.

mine runs very smooth on a old computer , on windows 7

Ok im going to be very blunt, your CPU sucks just about as much as your GPU. There is nothing wrong with LA Noire on the pc, I have 24hrs into this game and it has been silky smooth even downsampled to 4k with all options maxed.

LA Noire needs a good CPU in order to handle all the AI running around in the streets and that CPU of yours is nothing special.

My specs:
i7 3770k@4.5ghz
8GB DDR3 2400mhz
GTX 780@1254mhz core.

Nice rebuttel... "rolles eyes"... I can assure you that I know a hell of a lot more about them than you do kid.

I'm studying for a masters in computer engineering at university, So I know my fair share.. Anyway, The game runs horrid.. I can run games like GTA4 and mafia II at ultra at 60fps+. LA Noire is just a shoddy port and it also locked at 30fps unless you mess with INI files. I have managed to get it running at 30 by putting the resolution to 1024 then back to 1080 and deleting windows error log... No idea why that works, But it does. R* are known for their poor PC ports, GTA4 ran like crap for ages until there were community patches released by fans. I just hope GTA5 will be better. Also I'm not a "kid", I'm 21 years old. Your arguement concerning the game being bottlenecked by the CPU because of AI is silly, Seeing as I can handle sim games like ARMA3 and DCS just fine which are known to be heavily CPU intensive. Also remember this game is a console game originally, So if an xbox/PS3 CPU can handle it, Then my APU could handle it easily. It only wants to use 20% of the power for some reason even with all 4 cores unparked.

I suggest you change to another university because the one you are attending is letting you down.

If you are such a great knowledgeable person in computers as you claim then you would realize that the choice to cap the frame rate to 30fps was due to technical limitations with the facial animations. The game was made on last gen consoles and was designed to run at 30fps which is perfectly fine for a slow paced game such as this one.

Sounds like an unstable buggy pc to me, specially if you are getting windows error logs...

Yet you overlook Max Payne 3 which is a flawless port as is La Noire. GTA4 was not the best port but the two I just mentioned are not examples of that.

Arma 3 and DCS take advantage of multiple cores which is your saving grace, LA Noire depends on fast single threaded performance "which you do not have" so my point stands...... you are CPU bottlenecked in that area.

1: If you insult someone's intelligence, and they respond by stating their level of education, STATE YOUR OWN LEVEL OF EDUCATION FIRST BEFORE DISCREDITING THEIRS.

2: Ports that are well optimized for a narrow crosssection of the pc market AREN'T considered well optimized...

3a: If the 30fps limit was because of the facial animations, why didn't the devs interpolate the facial animations for a 60fps mode? They could have provided different interpolation algorithms so we could try them all out and see which one we prefered for both quality and performance.

3b: If you made a pc port in which we have to mess with .ini files to get the game to run as good as it can, then you've made a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ port.

4: If his PC is the problem, then why are many other people having problems with this particular port?

5: The only reason that Max Payne 3 was such a good port was entirely due to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of LA Noire's port. Also, downplaying people's experiences with GTA4's poor optimization isn't a very wise decision.

6: Multithreading has been around for quite a while now. In fact, even consoles use multithreading to a certain extent. LA Noire has multithreading support, but unoptimized support. On my G13, I can see the performance levels for each of the cores on the built-in lcd screen, and I can quite clearly see that Core 1 is the default for most tasks.

Conclusion: Always remember what happens when you ASSUME: You make an ASS out of U and ME.
