    I too have this issue, and have un/reinstalled multiple times...changed every single in-game setting and have updated ALL drivers. I have a new rig and use Nvidia card. Th game boots just fine and even runs super smooth and either 5 - 20 minutes later, it ctashes with the "stopped working" message.

    I had this issue as well. I assume you'll want to be running the game in DX11 mode, so go into the Far Cry 3 folder, right click on farcry3_d3d11.exe and click send to > desktop (create shortcut). Then launch the game through the shortcut and it should work

    thx ubisoft!!
    It was just so bad for me to give money to the box of this game
    close your company unless they can not service to players and also give up to search all problems because of the players
    because we dont have problems!!

    Try this....

    Hey there,

    try to open the Task Manger, go to service, search for tabletinputservice, stop this service and try to start FC3.
    In my case that worked pretty well and i´ve just finished the game some days ago. I had the same problem with the message "Far cry 3 Has stopped working" after like 10 minutes of playing. After i´ve stopped the service the game had no crashes anymore (Windows 10)

    Best Regards

    My computer is a desktop and I do not have a touch screen monitor, so the tabletinputservice in Windows 10 was already off/disabled by default and not running.

    The fix I found on the forums that worked was to set the file FC3updaterSteam.exe that is located in the Far Cry 3\bin folder to use Windows 7 compatibility. Game launched like a charm for me after that.

    Hi there,
    I tried to find the .exe which you had mentioned, but unfortunately i didn't found any named exactly. Here I'm attaching some images to get better understanding of the scenario. The exe which i found was FC3updater.exe.
    Kindly see the image ,also there isn't any option for compatibility in this .exe.

    Chrashed at start FC3

    ok, so I am not playing FC4 but I like the 1st one and after reading about the series I decided I would get a box game for FC3.
    I said box because thats what I used to play years ago, you install and go.
    So thats what I did and seems that I need to open Uplay to run the game? I tried using the EXE file but it opens to UPlay anyway.

    So I start the game and I get to whe screen where the various types of guns are shown in the center in grey.
    I think this is the initial load screen but then I get a message box that says the game as stopped working.
    So what's up?

    got a brand new MSI GE72VR, all drivers updated, everything transferred from old laptop and I want to play a game.
    How can I get this working?

    I'd appreciate any help, I got a week off and want to be able to play, frustrated

    so I deleted my profile and still not working.
    now I'm reinstalling to my ssd, hope that fixes it ;(
