I ordered the game on Amazon a little over a week. Unfortunately, it did not install correctly. The necessary patches could not be loaded. Supposedly there would be no Internet connection.
From then on began an odyssey as I have never experienced before. I am rumgetrieben in dozens of forums. Must the Rockstar support and played around forever. I'll spare you the details, which would a feature-length thriller. I had to install the game 6 times and uninstall until I had the solution. If you have the same problem here the way to happiness:
Invite you this from the German Rockstar support page down:
1. - MP3_German_Launcher_1_27_0_0.exe
2. - Social Club v1.0.9.7 Setup.exe
3. - MP3_German_Patch_Update_1_0_0_55.exe
then change to the English rock-star side in which you change the top-right language in English. Invited there then this file:
4. - MP3_German_Patch_Update_1_0_0_57.exe
And yes you have to do it that way, because at the Dechen page missing just the patch 1.0.0.57 and on the English of the Patch 1.0.0.55. That But you absolutely need both!
After your virus scanner and firewall have disabled their installed the game Custom. The destination directory should not contain spaces. So Give 'MaxPayne3 "instead of" Max Payne 3 ". Then install as normal, until he wants to load the patches and no longer progresses (no Internet connection). Then click Cancel and the downloaded patches installed as described above, from 1-4 in the order.
Then you can start MP3. Now you have yet to open a Social Club account or link your existing account and the serial number (KEY) to enter from the back of the manual.
Now the game should start.
END
PS: Actually, the game would have been three times to end up in the trash, after the bad service and all the trouble. But the game is so Hammer, that I have reconciled myself with mitlerweile. The trouble was worth it!
