Have you guys tried the suggestions listed here?

I've done everything in that post, deleted everything, and tried again a few times. Nothing has worked at all. Still crashes with "Max Payne 3 Has Stopped Working" error.

I got it, but it took a while. If you haven't already uninstalled/reinstalled try that. Then locate the MP3 directory, (Steam/steamapps/common/...) and launch it with the .exe. Launching it through steam never works for me.

Hope that helps you guys a bit

This worked for me , my pc crashed about 8 times when installing the game though but runs ok now its installed.

Well i finally figured out MY problem. Max Payne 3 doesn't play well with Mumble. Simply turned off Mumble and everything works fine!

hey, so my problem was that the game wasn't even getting to the 'initializing' screen or getting to the part where you need rockstar social club, it was just starting up and freezing within the first 2 seconds. The problem is now fixed and I started up, activated with social club and started playing the game.

I went to this link[support.rockstargames.com] that was already posted above

and following the links completely solved my launching issues. this is what I did in this order, in case you're troubleshooting and don't get the same results in the steps i went through (for thoroughness)...

1. installed rockstar social club[patches.rockstargames.com]
2. tried relaunching the game, still froze
3. disabled .NET 4.0 by going to administrative tools > services > Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0....X64 and right-clicked > properties and changed the startup type to "disabled". I did the same for the X86 version although that probably wasn't relevant.
4. tried relaunching the game, still froze
5. then tried downloading .NET 3.5 from here[www.microsoft.com] and it kept trying to unpack but wouldn't startup
6. found the .NET Framework repair tool[go.microsoft.com] and ran that
7. Then I reran the .NET 3.5 install from step #4. this time it started working but at the end it had an error and said "this setting needs to be changed from the "turn windows features on or off" in the control panel
8. went to control panel > programs > clicked 'turn windows features on or off'' underneath the programs and features menu. takes a few seconds to start up.
9. I saw that Windows .NET Framework 3.5.1 was already there but is only partially enabled. I checked the two boxes under that option so that the .NET Framework 3.5.1 box has a checkmark in it (instead of a solid square). hit ok to exit.
10. started up max payne 3 and it worked! social club started up fine, activated the game. DX11 is available and working, but turned vsync off to improve mouse movement.

I'm guessing the combination of disabling .NET 4.0 and renabling 3.5.1 in the options is what did it or if the repair tool from step #6 is what fixed it. If you're not having luck with just enabling the options in the control panel or it doesn't show up there, then i'd suggest going through with the .NET repair and then if needed, 3.5 install. if you have to reinstall .NET 3.5.1, then make sure to also do the .NET 3.5 SP1 update[support.microsoft.com]

For reference I'm running the following:
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
Core 2 Quad Q9550
Sapphire Radeon HD6850 - DX11
8GB RAM

My game didn't go past anitializing, just got stuck there.. . Tried everything but nothing I found on forums worked for me, some point it actually started to crash before it even started with some of the solutions.. :/

But just now I came across the Home button on the keyboard in frustration, and the social club came up and I could sign in and type product key. (this was before I press enter or start, dont' know if that's important)
However after signing in I just pressed start on my controller and the game launched!!! :D

Try going to Properties, Set Launch Options, and type in "-dx9" without the quotes. It forces the game to start using DirectX9.

I found out (I'm using a mac) I don't have the version that I need to run Max Payne 3 so that might be your problem too.

I have the same problem. I love MP Series, but MP3 is just mistake. IMHO unfinished game. Rockstar sucks. No one solution to lunch game not work. I give up...

i just started having this problem and i couldn't figure it out i was about to trash my computer i was so p.i.s.s.e.d but i got windows 8.1 and it asked me when i closed max Payne 3 if the program ran correctly i clicked no and it ran tests and then asked me to do a test run on the program and it worked!?!? i couldn't believe it then i beat the game (that's how far i was before the issue happened) then quit and it asked me if the test worked correctly so i said yes and it saved those settings so it would work again!!
