For anybody having a similar problem with LA Noire loaded from DVD, not Steam-
I checked my file structure, new PC vs Old. The new install never had the patches, even though the game reported that the patches were downloaded.
I deleted my entire LA Noire folder from the new PC and put the LA Noire folder from the old PC in its place. Everything works now. I can see why so many people complained about it when it came out for PC. I guess I was lucky to never have problems on my old PC.
I initially had 'cannot query directX' errors too, even though LA Noire installed directX. I checked, and the PC had DX11. So did my old PC. But LA Noire was running under DX9. I installed another game that uses DX11 and installed DX11 again. That was the end of my DX errors in LA Noire, but then the game failed to launch, which was due to a lack of DX11 patches. Makes me wonder if Rockstar just isn't supporting the game for PC any more, and the pacthes weren't available. Rockstar's support for people having these problems seems pretty unsuccessful. They claim that it's just a rare case of a bad install. I dunno but I had to jump through hoops and luckily my old PC is still working. Only other thing I could have tried was a re-install.
