If you want to play another Rockstar game (lets say GTA V), upon launching that, it will usually update social club to the most current version, thereby breaking L.A. The install then updates once, but not to the current version (that causes the game to crash), and you are good. Noire, and let it install (an older version). So you start regedit, delete the registry entries for Rockstars Social Club, then launch the social club installer that comes with L.A. So if you get a socialclubl.dll error, or the game simply crashes out before launching, the solution to still play it currently (on Win 10) is this one: Noire launching with one of the more recent social club updates. ).Ĭomparison screenshots can be viewed under the link above - and that would be it, if it werent for all the steps needed to get this working.īasically Rockstar broke L.A. When I think of 1940s Los Angeles, I want a warm color scheme (golden sunsets, desaturated sepia), not constantly feel, like my monitor was miscalibrated (pushing blue. Whoever at the publisher or the creative studio decided to give this game a desaturated blue tint, was wrong. Maybe that made me look around for mods, or graphical overhauls - and although I'm not usually someone that turns to Reshade, or other software solutions that allow you to lay post processing filters over a game, and or change its color scheme, I'm absolutely glad that I did in this case.Ĭhill's LA Noire Reshade v1.1 ( ) rebalances the color scheme to a warmer, more sepia tone, adds fake HDR, enhances FXAA, and makes the entire game just an overall more pleasant experience as far as I am concerned. The PC version never received that treatment.

I've started the game several times on multiple platforms, and am now about to finish it on PC - which curiously enough is not the 'best platform' to play the game as of now, as Rockstar did a remaster for PS4, XBONE and Switch, where they increased texture quality and added new lighting.
