    Far cry primal FATAL ERROR

    Hi guys,

    When i launch the game i got this message : File system failure:Aborting execution "d:\far cry primal \data_win32\generated\datebases\generic\uitagimage sttings.ndb"

    I always launch the game and uplay as admin.
    My drivers are ok.

    When i check the game integrity with uplay i got a 5.35MB file to download.
    Each time i check the game contents i have to download that file again and again... sometimes the download never stop.

    My firewall is off and same for my anti-virus.

    Help me please





    GTX970 / win7 / i7-4770 @ 3.40Ghz.

    think all you can do is try wiping the install and reinstall

    make sure you have Windows 7 Service pak 1 installed then .....

    check your hard drive for errors using the built in Windows utility chkdisk

    right click on your hard drive and select properties and then check this drive for errors

    try also to open your run command

    type in

    %temp%

    then press enter and delete all the left over temporary files on your drive

    then try to download and re=install again

    if you have the Steam version of the game right click on your Steam icon select Run as Administrator when you do a file verify

    do the same if you have the Uplay only version (launch the client as Run As Administrator)

    also try installing both Uplay as well as the game to your main C:\ drive ..as some times Uplay likes to be on the same drive that you installed Windows on

    also by the way your error

    File system failure:Aborting execution "d:\far cry primal \data_win32\generated\datebases\generic\uitagimage sttings.ndb"

    that file does not exist on a normal install it should be inside either a .dat or .fat packed directory

    which one i could not say .. but by itself that file is not present on my working installation

    Thank you for your answers.

    But nothing work =/

    It's the 3rd time i reinstal the game first time on my SSD then now on my regular Hard drive same fatal error.

    I got windows 7 service pak 1 and yesterday i checked the hard drive like you ask me.

    When i open the command there is nothing to remove with "%temp%."

    I feel pretty stupid because i bought my GTX 970 because far cry primal was a free bonus.

    I still need help please guys.


    Please let me know if there is a way for me to contact Uplay support.

    I think it's the very last time i purchase a game with Uplay i remember that i got a lot of pb with far cry 3 they just dont give a **** about us.

    dunno why its not installing correctly or launching on your system
    it installed perfect here on my 3 systems
    1. ASUS mother board + windows 10 Pro with an Intel core 2 quad + GTX 960 - nvidia driver ver 359.06
    2 Lenovo laptop Win 10 home AMD A10 5750 CPU with AMD 8650 G graphics (game launched fine but the laptop GPU will not run Primal @ more then 14- 20 fps as i expected )
    3 Old Dell E 520 Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit + Intel core 2 quad Q6600 + AMD 5770\ AMD driver version same as on the laptop version 15.7.1 WHQL drivers

    all ya can do is try to open a support ticket and wait for Ubi support to get back to ya

    open a support ticket with Ubisoft Support at https://support.ubi.com by clicking on My Questions in the upper left corner of that page.


    if they do not answer your ticket ... after a few days

    try to contact them via social media.

    (have your support ticket number handy when you try those options)


    Good luck! I hope you find your fix!

    OneDrive

    What solved the problem for me was that I activated sync from OneDrive instead of pausing it have it activated and synced.
