1 more thing, make sure it is installed to your main drive, if not it will not run (I had it installed to me external E drive and it crashed, then installed it to my original C drive, worked perfectly...)
Is there an NVIDIA overclocking utility known NOT to conflict with FC3? I recently started getting the "Autopatch stopped working" error upon launching the game after applying a mild overclock to my GTX770 using OCGuru 2, fortunately the game still runs fine even after the crash dialog box pops up and it's more of an annoyance than anything. This thread pointed me to OCGuru 2 as the culprit (thank you for that). I am not hung up on using this particular piece of software (and the game runs fine without the Autopatch error at the standard GPU clock speed), but is there something else available for overclocking that doesn't conflict with Autopatch?
So a very long time ago I played this game perfectly, before any patches. I just recently installed again and I can play maybe 15 minutes before i get a black screen.
Windows 7 64bit
i7-940 @3.6ghz
6GB ram
HD7950 using the latest beta driver due to BF4
Everything is up to date, I did everything this guide told me to do and it still just black screens.
I dont know whats happening with my game..i tried every single solution and none of them works!!! On the event viewer i see the same error farcry3_d3d11.exe code : 0xc000005 So its my Far Cry 3 d3d11 or something?
I run it on Uplay (reinstalled it..nothing happend)
Proccesor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU
Ram : 4GB
Graphic's Card : Nvidia GeForce GT 620
OS : Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
DirectX 11
At first: Woot, this topic fixed my problem!
1 minute later: never mind, Uplay still ruined the experience.
What happened?
Was enjoying the game, had a rare free day when you can game for hours and hours straight without consequences. Love those.
Just played 6-7 hours, mostly main quests and dlc, the good stuff.
Killed a certain baddy, the game is at it's peak, and....crash.
Reboot pc, reboot steam.... but far cry wouldn't launch anymore.
Solution 7 was the answer for me, as my gamerprofile was empty.
I was so damn happy I could continue! (this is actually a big thnx to those who found that fix)
---
However, I was less happy with Uplay, since it was now THAT what's preventing me from continuing where I was.
This is more or less aimed at Ubisoft, not that anybody there will ever read this...
It seems that all those ingame saves are mere "checkpoints" for when you die... Actual saving of your progress (so you can continue on different time) doesn't happen until after closing the game. But since my pc crashed, uplay couldn't synchronise, and thus all 6-7 hours of gameplay are lost.
And that really pisses me off.
Any decent game is able to save by it's damn self, doesn't need internet and does so while you play. Uplay forces games to save it on the servers after closing the game... which makes it incredibly unreliable when something unexpected happens (pc crash, electricity blackout / blown fuse, somebody tripping over a wire).
I have over 300 games on steam, from extreme small indie games up to large games like Far Cry 3. Not ever, not once did steam make me spend another day doing the same stuff allover again.... Uplay only needed 2 to ruined an experience for me... and since it's nothing more then a blown out of proportion achievement tracker...that's an achievement by itself.
Can you image somebody spending an entire free day watching TV and movies....oh nooo, not new TV-shows and unseen movies! But repeats of shows and movies you have just seen yesterday or the day before at best. An entire day of knowing what's to come, no suprises, no thrills... Just watching the same stuff again, seeing all that excited you yesterday, is now boring you to death. That's what Uplay now demands of me on my next free day. And why? Only because it has this incredibly stupid game-saving-synchronising concept.
Uplay, making exciting and intoxicating experiences as fun as grinding rocks to dust.
So I'm really not sure which of these solutions I should try to fix my problem, as my problem doesn't seem to be any of the ones described above.
I've played 20+ hours without any issues. When playing, on one particular section of the map, my game always crashes. I avoided that section successfully until one mission which brough me right through it (forgot the name, the one where you have to keep a guy from dying by sniping a bunch of dudes while he runs away). I always get a black screen crash "Far Cry 3 Has Stopped Responding" crash. I ONLY get this crash on this area of the map and on this mission (or the White Tapir mission which is right by the same place).
I've ruled out "Cause 2" and "Cause 4" and I believe I've ruled out "Cause 1." I've tried to solve the Cause 3 with Microsoft runtime stuff but I'm running Windows 8.1 and those files won't install on my computer. I haven't attempted "Cause 5" and "Cause 6" solutions because those causes described don't seem to relate to what my problem is. My game always starts up and my crash is never that error, it's always just "Far Cry 3 Has Stopped Responding." I also don't have a blank gamer file so I don't think that's the issue.
As I've said, I've played 20 hours no problem and it's only this one part of the game that is screwing up so far. It's an incredible game otherwise but I literally can't even progress anymore.
I did notice that on Steam, where I bought it, when I authenticate the game cache, it continuously re-downloads one 0byte file. I check the cache, it downloads it. I check the cache again and it downloads it again. I dont' think this file is sticking around and I can't seem to solve that. I've completely uninstalled the game once already and re-downloaded it from nothing and that didn't solve the issue. I'm wondering if that one 0byte file is the issue. Who knows.
I've also contacted Ubisoft and they refuse to help me. They keep replying that "Windows emulation isn't supported" because they see I'm playing the game on Bootcamp. Bootcamp isn't "Windows Emulation." It's literally dual booting the computer. My computer can more than handle Far Cry 3 and as I've said 2 times now, I've played for 20 hours no problem, but they refuse to talk to me anymore about it because they claim dual booting is the same as emulating windows which isn't supported.
Anyone have any thoughts or a solution, or what I should try next? Pretty desperate for help. I love the game and really want to keep playing it.
Well, I recently started playing the game and was experiencing similar issues. Game crashing, or just stop responding, would automatically go into windowed mode, my desktop and modern UI in Windows 8.1 would respond, but not the game window. Only able to close using Task Manager.
I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 from Galaxy (GC Overclocked 2GB version), and I am using MSI Afterburner for some mild additional overclocking and modified fan map. I know for sure the card was not overheating as I was logging the sensor readings, and it was not going anywhere above 75C, but the game was still crashing.
Event viewer in Windows 8.1 shows the following warning in the System events: "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
I tried rolling back the driver, installing the latest WHQL, then re-installing the latest, none of it worked. Then I opened up MSI Afterburner to check my OC settings, clicked the Reset button and I've been playing the game for the last 3 hours with no issues.
I may try some lower OC settings sometime later, but for now, I'm just enjoying the game.
I hope this helps a few others experiencing the same issues.
