If you're having trouble getting the game to start, then try going directly to the LANlauncher.exe in the L.A. Noire install directory and creating a shortcut. Place it wherever you want. Make sure you have steam open and then use the shortcut to launch the game.

Once the game is running, if you seem to have major slow down issues then try this. When you run the shortcut you made, you will get an updater bar. Wait for that bar to close and then it will bring up the L.A. Noire launch menu. There will be an "options" button on that menu that you need to click. At the bottom of the next screen type this command in without the quotes "-str". This will make the game launch into a Single Thread Rendering mode. Odd as it sounds, there is a code issue with the game that gets all messed up with x86 multicore and hyper threaded CPU's (meaning the vast majority of modern PC's from the past 5-6 years). This command will force the game to use a single core and ignore the rest of the CPU. It makes a massive performance improvement for most people.

The downside is sometimes it can cause your windows mouse cursor to show in the game. Its uncommon, but on some rigs it does happen. An easy (but not popular) solution is to hade the mouse cursor by moving it to an extreme edge and use a gamepad to play the game with. Since the game is a console port, it plays just fine with the game pad if you need to go that route. In fact, it improves the driving portions of the game a good bit.

Hope this helps some.

Reinstalled items in the 3rd directory (dxsetup dotnet and vcredist)
I really should check the forums before buying.

This fix does not work for everyone, didn't work for me.

I withdraw my earlier comment. The game is now working for me. It is laggy to the extreme on my Intel 3000 integrated graphics laptop, but playable. The problem I had was a crash on the initial full-screen loading page. I have done the following:
- Installed the files linked in the original post of this thread
- Set all graphics options to their minimum settings
- Selected DX11 renderer
- Added the -str string in the command line

After these things, it still seemed to crash when loading, but I left it on that screen then went away and did something else. When I came back, it had finally got its act together and brought up the menu screen. I've been playing happily for a couple of hours now.

(Even if it seems to work for 1.00% rather than 100% of the players...)
