I went into the Far Cry 3 Folder- then open the bin folder. Rt click on the farcry3.exe- Click properties, then Compatibility. Under compatibility Mode, I clicked Windows 98 and then clicked run program as admin. It finally worked.
This method also worked on the farcry3_d3d11.exe and ran much smoother. Good luck.
Hey Shakasherwood, welcome to the forums! Thank you for share your solution here and happy to hear that you are applying to launch Far Cry 3 at this time! Please feel free to let us know if you run into any further issues in your adventure.
You beautiful bastard, been at this a week and you just saved my *** from havin to refund it
where is the farcry3.exe folder?
For peeps that got Far Cry 3 recently and have issues launching the game, there is a very good thread here: https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthrea...ped-Responding
I used the number 7 trick to create a gamerprofile since it makes sense to launch at lowest settings, but it still would not launch past the start up little window.
So I went and double clicked the FC3Updater from the folder instead to see if that might help and BOOM! she lauched in seconds! So for me the normal launcher simply stops at the start up little screen, but the FC3Updater launches the game super fast.
On my 64bit windows 7 it's Start>Computer>C Drive>Program files(86)>Ubisoft>Ubisoft Games Launcher>Games>Far Cry 3>bin>FC3Updater
I hope it helps others too 'cos this game is sooooo coooool! ;D
Have fun!
BTW I also run a bunch of really cool games like Assasins Creed 3 and Hitman Absolution, on this old 2007 pc with just the 128MB integrated graphics card and even on lower settings the graphics stunning!
