    FarCry Arcade Editor starts instead of Far Cry 5

    Hello guys,
    I cannot start my Far Cry 5 game anymore. I tried to start it on Steam, on the Ubisoft Connect Launcher and even with the .exe file in the folder.
    It still starts the Arcade Editor and not the normal game. I played it yesterday and everything was fine.
    Need help pls

    Thank you


    Greetings

    Can you both go through the following steps and let us know if you're still experiencing this -

    - Navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FarCry5\bin".
    - Delete the file "ArcadeEditor64.exe"
    - Copy the file "FarCry5.exe" to another location. (Desktop, maybe.)
    - Rename this copy of "FarCry5.exe" to "ArcadeEditor64.exe"
    - Move this copy, now renamed ArcadeEditor64, into the FarCry5\bin folder.
    - Finally, open the file named FarCry5.exe in the FarCry5\bin folder.

    The game should open as normal.
