    Try getting the latest patches. Not sure if it will work but it's worth a try.
    Moving your game files' location won't be any help so no need to spend all that time moving the files.

    Same problem, I launch the game, shows me the FC3 logo and it takes me back to Uplay.

    I also tried the compatability mode, reinstalling, and that patch and no luck. I'm also getting the "impossible to recover version number" error.
    What's the point in giving away a broken game?
    I was so excited to play it...

    If it is of any help:
    I'm on windows 7 32 bit.
    AMD phenom II 955 4x 3.2 ghz
    4 gb Ram.

    Apparently the d/l will install the patches, but not update the displayed release number - it remains as 1.00.

    If you can at least fire up the game, look at the settings and see if the "reset garrisons" option is displayed. If so, that was added with patch 1.02.

    If you attempt to update game with the patches and the game's already patched, that might be the reason for the message regarding "version number".

    It can't hurt to contact the support center directly and submit a request for help if you can't even get the game to fire up.

    Amd Athlon x4 860K Quad Core
    Radeon HD 4850
    8 GB Ram Kingston
    Windows 7 64 bit Proffesional Edition

    The same problem. After the sync with cloud... nothing. I do the check for the game files.


    Ubisoft, can you give us the XIII(http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-2/xiii)? It's a classic and very good game.

    So from what I managed to dig up, we need to own Far Cry 3 as well as Blood Dragon, since it uses the same basis. Maybe some people own both and it seems to mess up still, so I am not sure.
