    Trouble Shooter saves the day

    The compatibility trouble shooter sorted the issue out for me. Me: Far Cry 3 (Steam) and Windows 10 Home

    I think it had something to do with logging into Ubisoft.

    what really annoys me is that I here the villain in far cry 3 might be in the new game.

    Hey gorrrdon!

    Thanks for reaching out to us and welcome to forums!

    Would you be able to possibly clarify the steps you've already taken?

    Also, in regards to the Offline Mode, please refer to steps outlined in the following article.

    I have a similar problem with launch of FC3 - Windows 7 pro AMD chipset Ryzen 5 x570. I don't get as far as most here. I Have an icon looking very robotic with words like 'mom' 'friend' 'trust' 'taste' - a lot and 'loading' - cycling mostly, I have no idea what is is. If I go to task manager the window displayed is incredibly small - i can close the program (not responding). This is the only FC I've never been able to run - ever. 1, 2, 4, no problems. It looks so good! but never got there.
    It's currently set with Admin, and 98/ME compatibility. The default resolution concerns me. I've never seen a task manager window so tiny.1.5*2 inches on a 22" screen when I try to close the app - perhaps there's something going on with the display settings. My Nvidia Experience seems happy with it. I've never been able to run it on many hardware platforms. Clueless.

    I've been working hard on this. Update of Display drivers, removing the punkbuster folder from the drive, running a registry cleaner to remove any artifacts - all far cry running just fine now.
