    Infamous Farcry 3 crash.

    I bought this game thinking I would be able to install it and go. Boy was I wrong. Crash after crash is what I was given instead. The game should run fine with my GTX 670, i7 CPU, and 16 GB of ram. It crashes on LOW quality setting. I updated my graphics driver twice and reset Nvidia settings to default with no fix. After googling the problem, it turns out to be a widespread issue across the board. I've sat through the initial mission cut scene about 20 times now because you can't save! What a joke this has been. I haven't seen any solid fix yet, I'm hoping someone here has one so I can get what I paid for.

    OS is Win7 Home.

    Do you have the Steam version of this game? Also did you install the latest windows updates?
    I would recommend that you check and install the latest updates for windows, Uplay and Steam.
    After that, uninstall the game and do a clean install and check if the issue persists.
    If you are using steam you don't need to uninstall the game, just do this : https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...3134-TIAL-4638

    Just in case you have anything overclocked in your box try all stock speeds

    I thought I was up to date on these, but I wasn't. This seemed to fix it. Thank you for the advice. Now I'm getting a weird glitch where the textures bug out randomly and I have to restart the game.

    Piggy-backing on this because I'm having the same now-famous Far Cry 3 crash problem. All clocks are stock. The game is a digital edition that came with my graphics card and was downloaded through Ubisoft/Uplay. Some times the game will play fine for a few hours, other times (like tonight) I can't get the game running longer than 30 sec to 1 min. The screen freezes where it's at (loading screen, in-game, this crash doesn't discriminate), I get a generic Windows error telling me the application has stopped working, blah blah blah. Generic crash-to-desktop. I have tried running the game with and without the Uplay overlay to no effect. My graphics drivers are up to date, as is (so far as I know) all Windows stuff.

    I'd really like help figuring this problem out. My machine is more than capable of running the game on max settings. I've gotten to the Flying South mission and the crashing has prevented me from going any further in the game.

    System specs: AMD Phenom II X4 955, GIGABYTE R795WF3 (HD Radeon 7950, windforce 3 edition), GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD3 motherboard, Samsung 8GB wonder RAM, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

    Ah, other people who can't play the game. Mine is the black screen crash, which nothing has managed to solve.

    I think Ubi should stop making games and simply ask for donations. For me there'd be no difference.

    Blame it on the silly consoles for this type of behavior from Ubi and the devs.
    They never actually sat down to actually iron out the issues on the pc version of this game and i don't think they intent to either.
    Basically they just add coop and single player stuff and features.
    That's about it.

    I think your right on the spot there, sad to say.. That´s why i hope there will be some nurdy programmer helping us with this issue if we are lucky. Or as "noplay4you" giving tips on what might would be helping the problem..
    For now all i can say i have exacly the same bsod problems with my ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series clocked or no clocked, Dx 9 or Dx11. I have tryed so mutch with out luck.

    It´s like a lucky wheel sometimes i can play in houers and some times 5 min a time. I´m saving constantly for not missing what i have.

    I hope we will se a solution in the near future, cos it´s sutch a shame for a great game like this.

    Sorry for my writing i´m from Denmark :-)

    Played a bit more this morning. It seems that if I have ANYTHING else running, I basically guarantee a quick CTD. If I have NOTHING else running, it still happens but much less frequently. Task manager shows the game is more memory-demanding than two windows (total 12-ish tabs) of the newest Firefox. I have more than enough RAM for the game (several instances of it, even), so right now all I can think of is very sloppy coding on a console-to-PC port.

    Well I spoke too soon. I updated the latest Nvidia driver today (as prompted) and guess what. More crashing! Yay! Oh, and I lost a bunch of progress. Excuse me while I slam my face against the wall.

    Also this is happening now.

    Things that no longer spawn in; Enemies, vehicles, creatures.

    My game is broken. I need to go lay down for a while.
