    1. Start by updating any anti-virus or personal firewall software that may be installed to your computer system. This includes your windows firewall as well as updating the firmware for your home router. If updating these programs does not resolve the issue, you may need to temporarily shut-down the associated program or bypass the router and establish a direct connection to your modem.

    2. If it is not possible to shut-down your firewall, you will need to configure your router or firewall to allow the following network ports for the best possible connection:

    Single Player
    TCP: 80, 443
    UDP: 3074

    Multiplayer
    TCP: 80, 443
    UDP: 3074

    Uplay Launcher
    TCP: 80, 443, 13000, 14000, 14008

    Directions for configuring network ports are specific to the software and hardware being used, and can be found by visiting the manufacturers website.

    3. You may also encounter problems due to applications running in the background on your computer system. When playing Ubisoft games, please be sure to close all running background applications before starting your game. You can find the steps for this listed below.

    - Open your start menu and look for Run (Win XP), Start search (Win Vista), or Search programs and files (Win 7)
    - Delete anything on the Open line that you'll find there, and type in the word MSCONFIG and press the Enter key to bring up the system configuration utility
    - Look down the list of startup items (not the tab labeled Startup), and choose Selective Startup (if it is not already selected) (If you don't see this, make sure you've clicked on General, near the top of the window)
    - Once you've chosen Selective Startup, uncheck 'Load Startup Items'
    - Once you're done here, click Apply & OK, and let it reboot your computer

    Try running the game again. If the game loads and seems to be working, the problem is most likely related to one or more programs you have scheduled to load with Windows. You can then revert the settings back the way they were, and in a trial and error fashion, disable some programs using the startup tab (in the msconfig utility) to try to find the culprit.
    Not only does this not work but you should not have to do this ubisoft needs to get off there butts and fix this

    Same issue here. This is not internet connectivity or client side issue at all. My story:

    1. 2 keys was bought through Steam.
    2. First key was activated on old account.
    3. Second key was activated on newly created account(only Far Cry 3 here)
    4. Same PC. Same environment. Same configs. All same.
    5. Old account can access Multiplayer and Co-op.
    6. New account can't.
    7. Period.

    Support - useless.

    can get on co-op maybe 2% of the time

    can get on co-op maybe 2% of the time so I know I can connect and play, if I had bought this piece of s#it for just multi or co-op i would be getting my money back or taking legal action! solo works fine though

    Day 7. Still no multiplayer for me. Support still dead, and the forum still gives me the feeling that im browsing a fanpage with 20 users. Very sad stuff, Ubisoft. But how are you doing?

    When I played Far Cry 3 in early December, everything was working well. But when I ran it again in late December...
    The main UPlay application doesn't complain about anything, achievements keep getting unlocked too, so there's no sign of problems with connecting to Ubisoft servers, but the game spits this error message every time I run or pause the game and actions aren't saved (I see an in-game "action completed" message, but it doesn't get recorded in my profile).
    **** Ubisoft with their stupid anti-user protection systems.

    As it was said nearly a year ago in another Ubi game's thread, "Seems like once they have your money they don't give a $hit if you get what you pay for or not." And I still don't see any reason to think that guy was wrong.

    This is an utter shambles of a game. Over the past 7 days I think I've managed to play maybe 2 hours, in that time it's crashed roughly every 10 minutes. Then any other time, it simply doesn't log me in or hangs while loading. Ubisoft, hang your heads in shame... this wasn't ready for release really was it ?
