    [FAR CRY 5] Can't Open Actual Game!!! HELP

    Hey, I've searched on the internet and I couldn't find any answer for my problem... I'm trying to launch the actual Far Cry 5 game and It automatically launches Far Cry 5 Arcade Editor without asking me what app I want to open. I already reinstalled the game and nothing seems to work... Can someone help me?

    Hi K1oluff
    Can you 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.
