Mafia III is released with a bevy of issues, a quick patch is necessary




So here’s the information I’ve got from 2k directly. The build people currently have is locked to 30fps. It is likely that the launch build will be also. 2K are going to issue a statement about the issue shortly, which include a timeframe on when the “fix” will be put in to unlock the games framerate.



2. Mafia III doesn’t start when gamers hit the play button.


No error message appears on the screen, the game simply closes and gamers are sent back to the desktop.


Despite having tried various workarounds, not all gamers have been able to fix this issue and they still can’t play Mafia III. It appears this is a prevalent issue for Windows 10 users.



Other players were luckier and fixed this bug after installing an update for Universal Runtime on Windows 7, 8.1.


Hi all, it seems that many users are unable to launch the game. The game doesn’t start when hitting the play button. Has anyone found a solution? Here are my computer’s specs: I7 6800K, 32 GB DDR4, 980 GTX.



3. Mafia III runs and then suddenly crashes while playing


Again, no error message is displayed, the game simply stops. Gamers suspect that cutscenes are the culprits for these crashes, as they noticed that crashing always occurs after a few cutscenes and always at the end of the cutscene when they go back to the game.


Mafia III crashes occurred on modern systems,have an i7, 16gb, titan (tried gtx970 same thing) win 10, therefore the possibility of hardware incompatibility can be eliminated.


i played the game for 2 hours crashed 2 times now without error message just the game gets out to windows any idea how to fix this or anyone had the same issue ?



4. Keyboard, mouse , and controller issues



Many gamers are complaining that Mafia III turns off the back lighting on the Logitech G series keyboards. Also, the game only accepts a three-button mouse and doesn’t allow players to remap the keys.


Certain actions, such as closing tutorial messages don’t work on controllers and the weapon wheel doesn’t show. Sometimes, the controls are not being detected.



Tried multiple keys for both whistle and the weapon wheel and none of them work. Having limited remap keys and not being able to remap more than three mouse buttons doesn’t help either. Being left handed, I can see that the multiple keys controls are going to be fiddly when they actually get them to work…



5. Mafia III won’t download


The download bar doesn’t progress, and the process continues for hours on end without any sign of progress.


Gamers get stuck at various download percentages: Can’t get past 99%. Also, unpacking seems to take forever.



These are the most common issues reported by Mafia III players. We are aware this list of issues is not an exhaustive one, and more bugs will be detected as users play the game.


According to the game’s developers, the first major patch for the game should be available this weekend, which means that at least the FPS limitation should be fixed.
