Resolved: Had an interesting situation where in the lead up to Xmas Far Cry 3 worked fine. Got back into the game last week and it wouldn't load at all (from Steam). Went into Control Panel-Admin Tools-Event Viewer and found this error:

Currently have the GTX570 card; so upgraded from Nvidia Driver 310.70 to 310.90 (no change); but if I revert back to 306.97 driver it works fine!
