I had a ton of software on my production/gaming pc #1, and sometimes there are tons of conflicts and poorly made games will not work. LA Noire is one of them. Win7 and the Wacom driver fix I figured out, now Win 8.1 x64 and a lot of stuff.
- kinect v2/xbox
steam
origin
lots of updates from ms (200+)
firewall settings and modifications
wacom driver
kinect driver
logitech driver
skype
apache web server
visual studio 2015
lots of vc++ x86 and x64 versions for games, programming, and testing
I did not modify the files of the game itself with downloadable win8 "fixes"
I did not make firewall exceptions to allow or disallow traffic, kept it vanilla
did not run compatibility mode, vanilla run
did not install any updates for windows
system specs
