    How do I exit Arcade editor?

    I wanted to check the Arcade editor to see what it is.

    Now, when I launch Far Cry 5 from Steam or Ubisoft Connect, it opens the Arcade editor instead.

    How do I go back to the actual game? I see no options in the editor itself to open the game. There is an option to play a new map, but it opens the map inside the editor itself. All the documentation links from the editor are broken, and lead to the ads for Far Cry 6.

    Is there an option I'm missing?

    Far Cry 5 Arcade Starting not Game

    This is actually happening to everyone. When you try to start the game, the editor starts instead. Just an unfortunate coincidence in your case. It's also discussed in a different thread. Ubi still not acknowledging the glitch or providing an answer.

    Thank god, I was starting to worry that I was the only one, as when I searched up how to fix this, literally nothing showed up other than, "look how amazing the arcade editor is!"

    I used to have a shortcut to launch the game but now launch from Ubisoft Connect.

    Selecting Games then Far Cry 5 then Play - there is then an option to Launch Far Cry 5 or launch the Editor
    I used to have a separate Icon (shortcut) one for Editor and one for the Game so sounds like it's somehow launching to editor, unfortunately I am terrible with PC's etc so unsure how to fix, hopefully someone else will help.
    Hope this helps, sorry I don't launch it through Steam

    In another post from a different thread this is said to be a fix.

    1. Navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FarCry5\bin".
    2. Delete the file "ArcadeEditor64.exe"
    3. Copy the file "FarCry5.exe" to another location. (Desktop, maybe.)
    4. Rename this copy of "FarCry5.exe" to "ArcadeEditor64.exe"

    5. Move this copy, now renamed ArcadeEditor64, into the FarCry5\bin folder.

    6. Finally, open the file named FarCry5.exe in the FarCry5\bin folder.
