    Far Cry 3 - Unable to start the game

    I just installed Far Cry 3 that I got from buying Far Cry 5. When I try to start the game I get an error message -

    ------------------------------
    Starting Game

    Unable to start the game. Please check that your game has been installed correctly. If the problem persists, please contact Ubisoft Support.

    Have you moved your game and/or its files? If so, select the folder where the game is now located.

    -----------------

    I just installed the game so I haven't MOVED the files. Any suggestions?

    First thing I would suggest is "Verify Files"

    I found the 'Verify Files' button, but it's disabled. I can't click it. The only button that's enabled is the 'Open Folder' button.

    I found out that while I can't start it from the Ubisoft launcher, if I opened the folder and clicked on the 'FarCry3' app in the folder it starts up.

    Hey Dazart99, if you have the game through Steam, verify files should be here. Also, can you try uninstalling and reinstalling?
