    which is when I went and tried the gamefly downloader, which didnt work either

    I spent the better part of an hour trying to get it to download in uplay, but since it kept going "download failed" means I have to constantly hit the retry button and watching the connection fluctuate all over from 6.4 (above my actual connection rate mind you) to less than 1

    I even rebooted the modem and restarted the download. No good.
    This is the only thing I have this issue with.

    oooo verify... MAYBE thatll work

    verify FAILED?!

    Im starting to look at the refund idea here guys, Im REALLY TRYING here, I AM, but its been four days now trying to play the game I bought

    turned off antivirus/firewall, still verification failed.

    Im at the point of either finding a torrent (the first I would ever have downloaded mind you) to get the game I paid for here or getting a refund.
    Well then it is an issue with Uplay and or the game download manager. So Read and submit a post here: http://forums.ubi.com/forumdisplay.php/259-Uplay & http://www.ubi.com/US/Support/Default.aspx

    I bought FC3 on Steam and I have tried all of these solutions.
    Here is exactly what happens:
    Launch game from Steam
    Uplay opens
    Click play
    Game starts
    begins loading
    strange screen pops up with an empty dialogue box in the middle
    cursor overlaps when I move it
    click "ok" on the empty dialogue box
    another loading screen
    "Far Cry 3 has stopped working"

    My specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
    AMD Phenom II X4 3.2 Ghz
    8 gigs of RAM
    Nvidia Geforce GT 520 2 gigs (not the best video card but I figured I could play the game on low settings until my GTX 660 Ti comes in the mail)
    Please help.

    Tried solution 1 and added it to my firewall exceptions and same thing. I think i'm going to wait until I get my GTX in the mail, I have tried a few different video cards with FC3
    and the game has behaved differently with each one.

    Steam version - With ubiusoft launcher. Game crashes within 5 minutes of playing. Can't apply patches as I assume steam has already applied them. When i <Steam-Library-Right click far cry properties- Local files- Verify integrity of game Cache> I'm left with an message stating "files failed to validate and will be reacquired" It downloads an 1.3KB file" I can repeat this process until the end of time and the same results occur.

    I have tried changing my Graphics settings, and also full screen, windows, and even in offline mode.

    I have re-installed the game a total of 4 times now. I have played in DX9 Same results

    I even tried your steps of running the game in compatibility mode and turns out the game doesn't appear in ubisoft anymore to even launch the game. So doing another re install.

    I also noticed one of the posters here was having a failed validation through steam. I have the same error. 1 file fails and downloads a 1.3kb file. I can repeat the process with the same results every time.

    Here are my specs.

    i7-3770k CPU 3.5GHz overclocked at a stable 4.2GHZ Months of playing a wide arrange of games including streaming. It's stable
    16GB RAM
    Windows 7 64-bit
    GTX 670 factory overclock. Latest drivers
    ASUX Xonar DX sound card
    Maximus V formula Mother board. Ivy bridge

    I have pretty much come to the conclusion that I have wasted 50 dollars and hours of my time. This game was released for the PC before it was ready it seems.

    Those logs tell me nothing as all they say is that the game hung and was forced closed..............

    Also Have you tried returning all your Overclocked settings to normal and then tried to run the game?

    And Can you reset a factory overclocked GPU to default?
