Uhm the only suggestion I can think of is to find farcry3.exe (or the dx 11 version), then go to compatibility tab and tick "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
It made a difference for me but I'm not sure the it's applicable here.
Scratch that... No difference for me.
If you can make a batchfile and load the game with processor affinity set to 1 you could try that.
^ I don't know how to make a batch file and shouldn't have to know just to play this game.
How is it that I can play multi-player fine but when trying to start a new game on single-player it instantly closes to windows? How does this make any sense? This is the strangest bug I've ever experienced, MP working fine but campaign nothing.
Do something, Ubisoft. This thread is 11 pages, there are plenty of us.
You sure you did everything on my list? That sounds like a corrupt or missing file.Originally Posted by WAWAMELONS Go to original post
I can't recall, do you get that loooong pre-rendered movie every time you start a new game? Does it crash then? It could be a codecs issue. I know certain games in the past crashed on movies due to such things. That would explain why SP crashes and MP doesn't.
I definately agree that you shouldn't have to do that.Originally Posted by WAWAMELONS Go to original post
Ok I've found something that might help. IF your problem is in anyway related to mine. And please note this is probably not the safest thing in the world (it should work according to people but I haven't tried it).
Start -> Run -> Msconfig -> choose the tab "Boot" -> button "advanced options" -> tick "number of processors" -> Select "1" processor only.
I found it here.

Reboot when asked I think.
Windows should now only use 1 core... And more than 1 core seems to cause, atleast partially, my problems on the 3rd loadscreen.

For reference, it crashes right after clicking the difficulty level. Here are screenshots:

I don't know if I have tried everything you suggest.
There is one thing I forgot to mention and it may be important (or not, I don't know), but when I was installing the game (bought and downloaded from Amazon) it said that a .dat file didn't work or something and gave me option to retry or ignore. Retry wouldn't work so I just clicked ignore and the install kept going. Before you ask, yes I re-downloaded it from Amazon and tried again and same thing. It seemed like an important file as it was the same file installing for a long time so maybe only part of it installed. I think the file started with the letter "m" and the extension was .dat. I can't seem to find it in the directory so maybe it didn't install at all and maybe this file was the single-player since it was so big? Could this be it? Can you check your folder and see if there's a file that starts with the letter "m" that ends with .dat and is big? How do I download new copy if Amazon's version is always like that. Can't put on to Steam, it's amazon/uplay only. Also, thank you both for your help. Sorry for the profanity earlier, I'm just frustrated.
Yes, there is a multicommon.dat that is 2.6GB, and several multicommon_x.dats, where x is one of the game's supported languages. They're each around 230MB.Originally Posted by WAWAMELONS Go to original post
That was the file! multicommon.datOriginally Posted by bowhunter001 Go to original post
Wow, that must be it then? It's not in my folder. What do I do now?
I uninstalled both uplay and far cry 3 and deleted any remaining folders. Now I just installed uplay again and guess what? there is an option to download the game through uplay! So maybe the installation will be correct this time and not corrupted like amazon. Hope it works, it will take 1 hour 20 mins to download.
Hehe I hope it works...Originally Posted by WAWAMELONS Go to original post
Atleast missing a big chunk like that would explain alot.![]()
