    Far Cry 3 randomly crashes for no reason.

    Ok, from what I have played of the game, I have highly enjoyed (aside from a few HUD issues and the weapon selection system) and I really want to play more. The problem I am facing is that the game will randomly crash for no reason mid play session. I could be playing for 5-20 minutes and it will just freeze and the screen will go black. This is highly frustrating when it happens in an unskippable cut scene, where you will have to keep watching it to get past it, only to not be able to save on a main quest. I know its not my system as i have no problems running the game when its working and it can max every other game out there. Has anyone else experianced this problem and has anyone found a solution to it yet?

    Same here Game crashes for no reason

    The same problem with me the game crashes at random times. But I have found that by not playing in windowed mode helps a bit. But you still get a crash now and again. I do know it is not my PC I have the latest graphics card and drivers and more than enough cpu speed and memory.

    Overheating ? Have you ever taken the side off your computer and vacuumed the accumulated dust especially on your CPU and GPU.
