    Anyone figured out why the game crashes?

    Just checking in on this - curious if anyone has discovered the root cause of the C2D many people are having?

    I have tried every single solution to fixing my Far Cry 5 crashing problem.

    I have:

    - Uninstalled and Reinstalled several different drivers
    - Painstakingly removed registry entries for old drivers
    - Changed DPI Scaling level
    - Reinstalled the game
    - Changed my PC's performance settings to High
    - Disabled Link State Power Management
    - Changed Power management mode in the NVidia Control Panel
    - Checked overclocking (I don't overclock)
    - Disabled and Enabled XMP Profiles in my bios
    - Cleared the Ubisoft Cache
    - Disabled unnecessary services and overlays
    - Adjusted all visual settings in game
    - Reset CMOS and reinstalled Windows

    Game runs flawlessly on all settings, no lag, graphical bugs, software glitches - nothing. Just a C2D within 15 minutes - 1 hour with the "Oh No It crashed - submit report" prompt. All other newer Far Cry and triple A title games run without a hitch

    Specs:

    Win-10 Pro
    i7-6700k, not overclocked - standard 4.00GHz
    32GB Dual Channel DDR4 @ 1071MHz
    ASUS Maximus VIII Motherboard
    Gigabyte GTX 780 Windforce Edition

    Try the following

    Download

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/down....aspx?id=48145

    and

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=52685


    please install first the original then afterwards the update



    Put the downloaded files (2 each Time) to your Drive C (Main Root folder)

    open the CMD (console) as an administrator



    go to C (Command is cd C:/ )

    type in and press enter

    vc_redist.x64.exe /uninstall or vc_redist.x86.exe /uninstall


    choose repair

    after this do the same with the update !


    try game !


    i figured out that the ubisoft installer do not propperly install all the reqired stuff from its installer folder.

    check the other components too!


    Update

    i also saw that on GTX 10 Cards we have heavy crashes with the newest Nvidia Driver 398.82

    when downgrading to 398.36 it gets better but still happens from Time to time ;(

    I have an old PC with GTX 760 here i dont have issues even no crashes with the latest driver !

    New Patch new Try

    Hello friends

    I still have crashes .... BUT

    I figured out (thx to Geforce forum) that going back to Nvidia Driver 391.24 reduce the crashes a lot , they still happen but not like every 10 min.

    Also i reduced my resulution to 1080p (normally 4K) and set everything to ! LOW ! well not satisfying but works here i can play like 60 to 90 min without crashes


    when I play COOP i don't crash at all ! only when my partner leaves it starts again .-----> Strange.


    My partner dont have crashes at all it is the same System only the MB & the CPU is different ! I got Ryzen 7 1700X and he has a 7700K all other Hardware is the same !

    thats what wonders me.

    Every driver after 391.35 will cause crashes with nearly every ubisoft game. It's because of wddm 2.4, there is not much you can do guys. Ubisoft needs to fix this, no problem at our end. Since 5 month now every nvidia driver is causing crashes and still no fix from ubisoft. That's unbelievable, really!

    Yes. I'm waiting for reply from Ubisoft about C2D -> It's like 2 weeks now. I've spent on this game 50 pounds and all I have it's crash every 5-10mins of the game.

    Nothing else crashing just FC5.

    The worst thing is that many people have same problem but there is no solution and Ubisoft don't know what to do.

    Why are they releasing games with bugs and problems and asking for money?
