    Far Cry 3 Does Not Run

    Downloaded FC 3 2-3 months ago through Steam and everything appeared to work quite well for about a week. At about that time whilst in the game I decided to adjust some parameter via the appropriate slider and from that moment on the game just didn't load anymore! Tried numerous downloads but to no avail- it just doesn't load from the FC 3 screen but flickers once and then freezes! It is a bit frustrating as I believe if it worked initially then what's happened since? My system specs are:Intel E7500 Cpu, 3.25 meg ram, XP service pack 3. Hope someone can help me out as I haven't had it installed since and have effectively wasted my money.

    I dont think FarCry3 will run on XP get win7 (64bit is better) and download it. If that doesnt work uninstall FC3 and redownload from steam. you'll need a graphics card too and 4 gb ram (DDR3 hopefully). I do see on my FC3 Box that the min requirements are XP but.... so i don't know why your prob. Try the Steam forum.
