    Game not launching

    I am unable to launch the game.
    I just get the farcry 5 start screen with a spinning circle.
    Game worked perfectly fine earlier, then crashed and now I can't launch it.
    Already rechecked game files, twice.

    I ran into the same issue after checking the box to run as administrator. I went back to the .exe launcher, disabled it, and then it worked for me.

    Just had this issue. Uninstalling Uplay and reinstalling again (keeping games and saves) fixed this for me

    Hey guys, like Druinthor suggested, uninstalling and reinstalling Uplay may help. Deleting the cache folder located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\cache should also help.

    After reinstalling uplay it worked once and then the next day same problem again. I have been successfully playing the game by running the Farcry5.exe as administrator.

    None of these helped me. Tried to reinstall game in steam, reinstall uplay. Game still doesn't launch. Win10, corei5, gtx1070, 12gb ram

    Is this for the small window load screen with the spinning circle in the bottom right like the image below?
