Hi all,Originally Posted by liamiscool Go to original post
I had this problem for almost 2 weeks, until Ubisoft finally got back to me for the 3rd time. Matt B. from Ubisoft gave me the following advice, and it fixed it! I've played over 10 hours in the past few days.
Note: the top part, about running as admin, didn't apply to me, and I didn't need to do it (I'm on Windows XP SP3). The only thing I did was the 2nd part (steps 4-7), about making the shortcut, and editing it with the additional portion in quotes.
Here's the quote from Ubisoft:
1. Navigate to the FC3 folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Far Cry 3\bin\
2. Locate FarCry3.exe
a. Right Click and select properties
b. In the compatibility tab select the option to run as admin
3. Follow steps a & b for Farcry3_d3d11.exe
4. Create a shortcut on your desktop for whichever version you want to use.
5. Right click on the shortcut and select Properties.
6. Set the Target to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Far Cry 3\bin\farcry3_d3d11.exe" "-uplay_steam_mode"
(Remember to include the quotation marks and change C to which ever drive the game is installed to.)
7. Apply changes and launch the game from the icon.
This should force the game to launch up in the Steam version of Uplay, without launching Steam or requesting the FC3UpdaterSteam.exe to launch.
From here, I was able to (1) input (copy-paste) my CD Key from Steam into Uplay (which I wasn't able to before), (2) play the game from Uplay (no Steam starting needed)!
Just bought Farcry 3 on the Steam sale, and am having this same issue. I tried maximuspeto's fix, and it does not work. When I try to launch from the new shortcut, I just get a message that "Farcry 3 has stopped working." before it even opens. Grrrr! Any ideas?

2) After that, go to add \ remove programs in your windows control panel
(press win key + X select apps and features .. look on the right side and select Programs and features) .
select uninstall UPlay and then exit once its done
3) Download and reinstall Uplay PC from https://uplay.ubi.com , as this will update the client to the latest version .
4) Launch the game again.
