Alright, because naturally, helpdesks for games played 24/7 aren't available in weekends, here's my issue.
Far Cry 3 has been bugging me since I bought it, had various types of crashes, and finally had it running somewhat smoothly without crashing within five minutes.
I have, however, returned to the point I fixed earlier, crashes in main menu.
The following information comes up for me:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: farcry3.exe

Application Timestamp: 50d1e630

System specs:

Singular 1.5 TB harddrive.
Nvidia GTX 580
i7-2600K @ 3.40 GHz
I have already concluded that re-installing my video drivers had NO effect on the crash, as it is obviously something to do with the .dll. I don't really see wtf the graphcard would be loading in the main menu, but that's just me.
EXTRA INFO: I launch this game via Steam -> Uplay -> Far Cry 3
Bonus crash: As I seem to have circumvented the first crash again, here is my second crash which is ingame on loading screens:

Which seems related to the C++ environment, but I have again recently updated and repaired all those.

This guy fixed his crash issue by going to an older driver version (NVidia)
