    Farcry 3 Crash on Startup

    Hello all,
    I have a laptop with Windows 8, i5 processor and gpu geforce 635GT 2 GB with drivers already updated.
    When I try to run farcry3 on uplay, it shows the first image "Farcry3" and then it crashes after. I can't go further than that.
    I already disabled firewall and still doesnt work.

    Can someone tell me what might be the problem?

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi guys, please open a ticket with Technical Support so they can troubleshoot this with you, the link is in my signature.

    There have been at least a few people on Nvidia cards that have resolved the crash issue on start up by going back to older driver versions (maybe even 3-4 versions back)
    Well worth trying while waiting to hear from support.

    BTW: I don't think the latest AMD drivers are all that stable either. The game also seems sensitive to certain overclocked systems.

    HEY EVERYONE! I SOLVED THE PROBLEM!


    I found out that Far Cry 3 does NOT support FXAA (Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing)

    To fix this problem, do this:

    1. Open your NVidia Control Panel

    2. Click, "Manage 3D Settings"

    3. Scroll down to Antialiasing-FXAA

    4. MAKE SURE IT IS SET TO "OFF"

    THAT is the problem that so many users are having. They don't realize that Far Cry 3 does not support FXAA, or they don't realize it is turned on.

    Turn it off and tell me if it works. It worked for me.
