    Crashing in 2020, did we ever get a fix?

    Its July 2020 and the game keeps crashing back to desktop for no apparent reason. In my case it crashes randomly, usually takes 5-30 mins, although it ran for 90 minutes straight once. Ive read every single old post (steam, reddit, ubisoft) from the release of the game 2 years ago where everyone was experimenting crashes of all sorts, ive tried every single proposed fix, troubleshooting, etc. and nothing seems to work.

    My specs:

    MSI Geforce GTX 1070 TI
    Ryzen 7 3700x
    16gb ram 3600Mhz

    When its not crashing i can play in ultra settings at a steady 90+ fps.

    So my question is: Is there a definitive fix for this? i really want to play this game.

    Thank you for your help

    Thank you for reporting this to us, MusiElVenadito.

    Do you get an error message when the game crashes, and if so what does the message state?

    What steps have you been through thus far? If you can let us know it will avoid us providing duplicate troubleshooting steps to you.

    Having the exact same problem as the person above

    I've tried:
    Reinstalling Far Cry 5
    Verifying Game Files
    Playing the game on lowest settings
    Closing almost all background applications

    At ultra settings i can play at around 60fps

    I really want to play this game, but right now this just sucks

    Me Too! Like so many people.
    Clearly something is still wrong with the game
    It may put me off buying far cry 6 if ubisoft keeps denying this. Clearly all the ubisoft answers so far on this are just stringing players along: When did this happen....bla blah, but never a solution.

    It happens with HD textures on. Fix it. Please.

    Hello guys,

    Sorry to hear you're having crashing issues.

    Please ensure you give the steps in our guide a try.

    As well as performing a system file check and testing a driver rollback.

    If you're still having issues, please open a case on our Support Site and send over your system files.

    DxDiag

    We'd be more than happy to take a closer look!

    You just need launch a game in borderless mode, thats all.
    I was shocked, when I found this.
