    Autopatch System has stopped working

    So I ended up getting the game today , I made a uplay account , And opened uplay. I put my cd-key in and then ran the game. When the gum start , all I get is a error box "Autopatch System has stopped working"

    How can i fix this , I updated the game with the new patch but i'm still getting it?

    I'm not too sure on that, to be honest. I've got the same **** thing. I've sent a screen print to Ubisoft customer support as well as a DxDiag file. I've had no reply in 4 days now. I've had the first patch download and I've tried running in safe mode as well as running as administrator. Neither works, it just says "game running" then shows the "stopped working" autopatch thing.

    I want my money back from them if they're just going to ignore this.

    I just found this via Google then and it looks like someone else had the same problem with a game in uPlay but it was with Settlers 7. Someone from support told him what to do and apparently it didn't work at all. Then he goes on to say that there's some conflict between a piece of software that's bundled with his motherboard. I have an ASrock motherboard and so does he.

    Do you have one too? That's just too coincidental, if so, and it looks like it could be the reason.
    I'm just not at home at the moment to try this out.

    i had far cry 3 on my system working. my brother even finished the game and now i wanted to get back into it, but we regularly uninstall our games and put them back on depending on space and stuff.
    anyways i reinstalled it and that same problem came up that you guys are having so it must be something else

    If you mean the patches for the game, you can manually download them from the Far Cry 3 site and install them.
