Max Payne 3 Initializing?

As per topic, I installed Max Payne 3 which took exactly 2 hours 15 minutes. After launching the game, it asked to update as new update was available so did that as well. On welcome screen, when I press enter. It says initializing and remains like that

Anyone else had similar problem, how can I resolve this problem? Really want to play this game.

Thanks

*** forget to mention, I already googled this, and found something to change name of folder in registry which I have done but still can't play ***

Do you have SP1 installed?

Video and Audio drivers are up to date...also SP1 is installed when windows updated itself last time. I also looked on max payne forums but can't find any info there. Whatever info I found is mentioned in first post and that didn't worked either.

Devilz, looks like a common problem, sorry to say. Still stuck at INITIALIZING - Steam Users' Forums

I have tried all that as well but still stuck at initializing screen

Did you try verify game integrity cache ?

By the way mine runs no issues this is the first i heard of it since the preload

Most of the time when you do that it rewrites the initial EXE so it should clean up any reasons to stall loading
