Unfortunately, there are flaws in games: brakes, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not very errors. Often problems begin before the game even starts, when it won't install, won't load, or won't even download. Yes, and the computer itself is sometimes weird, and then in Far Cry 3, instead of a picture, a black screen, control does not work, no sound is heard, or anything else.

What to do first

  1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download via direct link) is a program that will clean your computer from unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
  2. Update all drivers in the system using the program Driver Updater (download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to current version in 5 minutes;
  3. Install the program WinOptimizer(download from a direct link) and turn on the game mode in it, which will end useless background processes during game launch and increase performance in the game.

The second thing to do if you encounter any problems with Far Cry 3 is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this even before the purchase, so as not to regret the money spent.

Far Cry 3 minimum system requirements:

Windows Vista, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 Gb RAM, 512 Mb, nVidia GeForce 8800

Every gamer should at least have a little understanding of the components, know why a video card, processor and other things are needed in system block.

Files, drivers and libraries

Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.

It's worth starting with the drivers for the video card. Modern graphic cards manufactured by only two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product spins the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the package of fresh drivers:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of Far Cry 3 is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:

If Far Cry 3 does not start, we recommend that you try disabling your antivirus or put the game in antivirus exclusions, and also check again for compliance system requirements and if something from your assembly does not match, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components.


Far Cry 3 has black screen, white screen, color screen. Solution

Problems with screens of different colors can be roughly divided into 2 categories.

Firstly, they are often associated with the use of two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you play on a discrete one, then Far Cry 3 can be launched for the first time on a built-in one, while you will not see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens happen when there are problems with displaying the image on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, Far Cry 3 cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support a video card. Also black/ White screen may be displayed when running at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

Far Cry 3 is crashing. At a certain or random moment. Solution

You play for yourself, play and here - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop without any hint of the game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, it is worth trying to figure out what the nature of the problem is.

If the flight takes place in random moment time without any regularity, then with a probability of 99% we can say that this is a mistake of the game itself. In this case, fixing something is very difficult, and the best thing is to just put Far Cry 3 aside and wait for the patch.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download the Far Cry 3 save and bypass the departure point.


Far Cry 3 freezes. The picture freezes. Solution

The situation is about the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather, to the developer's mistake when creating it. However, often a frozen picture can become Starting point to investigate the deplorable state of the video card or processor.

So if the picture in Far Cry 3 freezes, then use the programs to display statistics on the loading of components. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the load and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If desired, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Far Cry 3 image.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards, they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. The processors are slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is heating up, then you should use the driver or official utility from the manufacturer. You need to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and see if the operating temperature drops.

Far Cry 3 slows down. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Solution

With slowdowns and low frame rates in Far Cry 3, the first step is to lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are a lot of them, so before reducing everything in a row, you should find out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the picture of the game. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is negligible, so reducing the screen resolution should only be the last resort, when everything else does not help.

Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of texture files. Decrease the quality of textures if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if a very old one is used HDD, the spindle speed of which is less than 7200.

Model quality(sometimes just details). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more computing power video cards (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means that this parameter should be reduced on video cards with a low core or memory frequency.

Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. In order to optimize, developers often abandon the full rendering and add a pre-render of shadows to the game. They are static, because in fact they are just textures that are superimposed on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the core of the video card.

Often developers add additional settings related to shadows:

  • Shadow Resolution - determines how detailed the shadow cast by the object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, then it loads the core of the video card, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
  • Soft shadows - smoothing out bumps on the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing. Allows you to get rid of ugly corners at the edges of objects by using a special algorithm, the essence of which is usually to generate several images at once and compare them, calculating the most “smooth” image. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in their level of impact on Far Cry 3 performance.

For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4, or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4, or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms such as FXAA and TAA operate a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Because of this, they do not reduce performance as much.

Lighting. As in the case of anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. All of them use the resources of the video card, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on the “green” ones. HDAO, on the other hand, is optimized for AMD graphics cards. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so in case of slowdowns in Far Cry 3, it is worth switching to it.

What should be lowered first? Shadows, anti-aliasing, and lighting effects are usually the most stressful, so it's best to start with them.

Often, gamers themselves have to optimize Far Cry 3. For almost all major releases, there are various relevant forums where users share their ways to improve performance.

One of them is a special program called WinOptimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean up the computer from various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. WinOptimizer will do this for you, as well as analyze your computer to find ways to improve application and game performance.

Far Cry 3 lags. Big game delay. Solution

Many people confuse "lag" with "lag", but these problems have completely different causes. Far Cry 3 slows down when the frame rate at which the image is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay when accessing the server or any other host is too high.

That is why "lags" can only be in network games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.

However, the latter is the least common. In online games, communication between the client and the server occurs by exchanging relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough for the eyes.

Far Cry 3 has no sound. I can not hear anything. Solution

Far Cry 3 works, but for some reason does not sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play like that, but it's still better to figure out what's the matter.

First you need to determine the scope of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or in general on the computer? If only in the game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.

If there is no sound at all, then the matter is definitely in the computer settings. Perhaps the sound card drivers are not installed correctly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error of our favorite Windows OS.

Controls don't work in Far Cry 3. Far Cry 3 does not recognize the mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Solution

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? The problems of supporting specific devices are out of place here, because we are talking about familiar devices - keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded, almost always the problem is on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to turn to the driver. Usually when connecting a new device operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some keyboards, mice and gamepads are not compatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find exactly its driver. Often, devices from well-known gaming brands come with their own software kits, since the standard windows driver corny cannot ensure the correct operation of all the functions of a particular device.

If you don’t want to look for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is intended for automatic search drivers, so you will only need to wait for the scan results and download the necessary drivers in the program interface.

Often, the brakes in Far Cry 3 can be caused by viruses. In this case, there is no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can check your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32 . The antivirus has proven itself from the best side and has received the approval of millions of users around the world.

ZoneAlarm is suitable for both personal use, and for small businesses, is able to protect a computer with an operating Windows system 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats. New users are given a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to the development of security. On the developer's website, versions of anti-virus programs are available both for PC and for mobile devices, a 30-day trial is provided. There are special conditions for business.

Far Cry 3 downloaded from torrent does not work. Solution

If the distribution kit of the game was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of work. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official apps and do not work over the network, because in the course of hacking, hackers cut out everything from games network functions, which are often used for license verification.

Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files have been changed in them. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify an EXE file. However, no one knows what else they do with it. Maybe they're building a self-fulfilling software. For example, which, when the game is first launched, will be integrated into the system and will use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees and there cannot be.

In addition, the use of pirated versions is, according to our publication, theft. The developers have spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their offspring will pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if you encounter any problems with games downloaded from torrents or hacked with the help of various means, you should immediately remove the "pirate", clean your computer with an antivirus and licensed copy games. This will not only save you from dubious software, but also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

Far Cry 3 gives an error about the missing DLL file. Solution

As a rule, problems associated with the absence of DLLs occur when Far Cry 3 is launched, however, sometimes the game can access certain DLLs in the process and, without finding them, crash in the most impudent manner.

To fix this error, you need to find required library DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is with a program. DLL fixer, which scans the system and helps you quickly find missing libraries.

We thank you for your attention!

First of all, you should perform several actions, namely:

Install latest drivers for video and sound cards.
- Reinstall Uplay.
- Run the game as administrator.
- Check if you have all the patches. To do this, you need to restart the game several times so that the patches themselves are installed one by one, or set manually.

Black screen when starting the game
- Reinstall Uplay. To run the game, you must have the latest version of the program.
- Start the game in windowed mode.
- Lower your graphics settings/update your graphics card drivers and restart your PC.
I can't register on Uplay!
Register an account on the Uplay website. Ubisoft games are attached to account after the first entry of the key. You cannot use this key with another account.
I bought the game on Steam, activated it, but when I launch Uplay, I don't see it!
This is fine. It's just that Uplay and launching Uplay through Steam are different. You will always need to double-authorize to launch the game: launch first on Steam and then on Uplay. You cannot skip Steam and launch the game directly through Uplay.
Frequent crashes from the game
Turn down your graphics settings. You can start by lowering the MSAAS anti-aliasing parameter.

When you open the game, there is a frame from the window.

Press Alt+Enter. If it does not help, then Alt + Tab switch to the game, even if you are already in it.

All kinds of braking

One of the most effective means of improving the speed of the game is to change DirectX versions. By default, the settings should use DirectX11, change to DirectX9.
Also useful is changing the shading from HDAO to HBAO and updating the graphics card drivers.

I have a license and autosave continues indefinitely.

Exit the game and switch Uplay to offline mode. On a license, this is possible only if the work is launched on the game servers due to the enabled cloud saving.

Error d9d11.dll crashes when launching the game

Reinstall DirectX.

Can't get out of the car

Change the control to the original one and then return yours.

I have a Steam version, but not everything in it is in Russian!

Delete the game, leaving saves and settings. Change the language in the properties of the game in Steam to Russian and download the game. Install the game and continue to play completely in Russian.
In the "Settings" menu, take a look at the settings in the "Video" and "Audio" sections - there you can choose the language of voice acting and subtitles.

I don't have MSVCR100.dll file

To do this, you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.

Sometimes farcry3_d3d11.exe and other system errors EXE errors may be related to problems in the Windows registry. Several programs can use the farcry3_d3d11.exe file, but when those programs are uninstalled or changed, sometimes "orphaned" (invalid) EXE registry entries are left behind.

Basically, this means that while the actual path to the file may have been changed, its incorrect former location is still recorded in the Windows registry. Farcry3_d3d11.exe errors can occur when Windows tries looking up these incorrect file references (file locations on your PC). In addition, malware infection may have corrupted the registry entries associated with Far Cry 3. As such, these invalid EXE registry entries need to be repaired to fix the root of the problem.

Manually editing the Windows registry to remove invalid farcry3_d3d11.exe keys is not recommended unless you are PC service professional. Mistakes made while editing the registry can render your PC unusable and cause irreparable damage to your operating system. In fact, even a single comma in the wrong place can prevent your computer from booting up!

Because of this risk, we highly recommend using a trusted registry cleaner such as %%product%% (Developed by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner) to scan and repair any farcry3_d3d11.exe-related registry problems. Using a registry cleaner automates the process of finding invalid registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing your farcry3_d3d11.exe error), and broken links within the registry. Before each scan, an automatically created backup copy, which allows you to undo any changes with one click and protects you from possible damage computer. The best part is that fixing registry errors can drastically improve system speed and performance.


Warning: If you are not experienced user PC, we do NOT recommend editing the Windows registry manually. Incorrect use of the Registry Editor can lead to serious problems and require reinstalling windows. We do not guarantee that problems resulting from misuse of Registry Editor can be resolved. You use the Registry Editor at your own risk.

Before manually restoring Windows registry, you need to create a backup by exporting a part of the registry related to farcry3_d3d11.exe (eg. Far Cry 3):

  1. Click on the button To begin.
  2. Enter " command" in search bar... DO NOT PRESS YET ENTER!
  3. Holding keys CTRL-Shift on the keyboard, press ENTER.
  4. An access dialog will be displayed.
  5. Click Yes.
  6. The black box opens with a blinking cursor.
  7. Enter " regedit" and press ENTER.
  8. In the Registry Editor, select the farcry3_d3d11.exe-related key (eg. Far Cry 3) you want to back up.
  9. On the menu File select Export.
  10. Listed Save to select the folder where you want to save the Far Cry 3 key backup.
  11. In field File name enter a name for the backup file, such as "Far Cry 3 Backup".
  12. Make sure the field Export range value selected Selected branch.
  13. Click Save.
  14. The file will be saved with .reg extension.
  15. You now have a backup of your farcry3_d3d11.exe-related registry entry.

The next steps for manually editing the registry will not be covered in this article, as they are likely to damage your system. If you would like more information on editing the registry manually, please see the links below.

If Far Cry 3 crashes, Far Cry 3 won't start, Far Cry 3 not installing, there are no controls in Far Cry 3, no sound in game, errors happen in Far Cry 3 - we suggest you the most common ways to solve these problems.

First, check if your PC meets the minimum system requirements:

  • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66 GHz / AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3 GHz
  • Memory: 4 GB
  • Video: 512 MB DirectX 9.0 compatible card with Shader Model 4.0

Be sure to update your video card drivers and other software

Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, specially optimized drivers are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing more late version drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.

It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of bugs not found and not fixed.

Don't forget that for stable operation games often require installation latest version DirectX, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.

Far Cry 3 won't start

Many problems with launching games happen for a reason. incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during the installation, try to uninstall the game and run the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often the files necessary for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with the installed game should not contain Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.

It still does not hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as administrator in compatibility mode for different versions Windows.

Far Cry 3 slows down. Low FPS. Logs. Friezes. hangs up

First - install the latest drivers for the video card, from this FPS in the game can rise significantly. Also check the computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If, before starting the game, you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the settings responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly increase performance without greatly affecting the quality of the picture.

Far Cry 3 crashes to desktop

If Far Cry 3 often crashes to your desktop, try lowering the graphics quality to start solving the problem. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot work correctly. It is also worth checking for updates - most modern games have a system automatic installation new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.

Black screen in Far Cry 3

Most often, the problem with a black screen is a problem with GPU. Check if your video card satisfies minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is the result of insufficient CPU performance.

If everything is fine with the hardware, and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game window.

Far Cry 3 won't install. Installation stuck

First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Please note that the installer requires the advertised amount of space plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system drive. In general, remember the rule - there should always be at least 2 gigabytes on the system disk free space for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or refuse to start at all.

Installation problems can also occur due to lack of Internet connection or its unstable operation. Also, do not forget to suspend the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.

Saves not working in Far Cry 3

By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive. Often save files are stored in a folder of documents, which is located separately from the game itself.

Controls not working in Far Cry 3

Sometimes the controls in the game do not work due to the simultaneous connection of several input devices. Try disabling the gamepad, or if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If the gamepad does not work for you, then remember that only controllers that are defined as Xbox joysticks. If your controller is defined differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).

Sound not working in Far Cry 3

Check if the sound works in other programs. After that, check if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game itself and if the sound playback device is selected there, to which your speakers or headset are connected. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound is muted there.

If you are using an external sound card- check for new drivers on the manufacturer's website.

Gaming News


GAMES At Gamescom 2019, Ubisoft unveiled a new mode for the tactical shooter Ghost Recon Breakpoint called Ghost War, which pits two teams of four players against each other.

Fans of Far Cry 3 are faced with an unpleasant situation when, after installation, the game does not start. Or errors appear during the installation process. Let's figure out what the reason is and fix the problem. The methods presented in the article are suitable not only for Far Cry 3. If not enough, the problem remains unresolved, read other materials on the site.

Far Cry 3 won't install

If Far Cry 3 does not install, check if there is enough free space on your hard drive. The distribution requires free space, so a few gigabytes of extra space won't hurt. Many modern games require a significant volume.

Far Cry 3 installation blocked by antivirus

Often, antivirus programs, in the fight against viruses, protecting our computer from the effects of external threats, for security purposes, they block numerous processes performed by the operating system. Sometimes such security is so strong that the antivirus blocks access not only to viruses, but also suspends some normal processes, perhaps by mistake, considering them potentially vulnerable. Disable your antivirus during installation.

Cleaning the computer and restarting

Sometimes, a simple reboot of the system can immediately solve many problems that arise both during the installation of games and their subsequent work. The same applies to programs and applications. There are many reasons: the computer is clogged with garbage, the system cache is full, the maximum allowable number of simultaneously running processes, some may be frozen and not running, but they put a load on the system. Cleaning the computer and restarting will fix the situation.

No Internet access

Some game clients during the installation process require an Internet connection, providing access to the installation server or update server. Make sure the quality of the connection, and if there is no Internet, be prepared for problems during the installation of Far Cry 3. It's good if the system displays an error message. And if there is none, you can think for a long time and wonder why the toy is not installed.

Far Cry 3 won't start

Before looking for reasons why Far Cry 3 won't start, make sure that the installation itself was successful. Otherwise, if there were failures during the installation process, but at the same time the game was installed, it is impossible to guarantee the subsequent launch and performance. If it starts - lucky. What will happen next is unknown. Remember the installation process.

Reinstalling the game

Many gamers have repeatedly encountered a situation where they had to reinstall games. Apparently, this is the case where reinstalling Far Cry 3 will fix the issue. It is not known what this is connected with, maybe the antivirus or firewall "ate" some files or something else at the time of installation, but after installing the game again, it starts up and works. Uninstall Far Cry 3 and reinstall, paying attention to every detail during this process. Perhaps at some point the program will ask additional files etc.

There are times when installation on top is already installed game solves the situation. The installer may offer to update the files. Thus, there is no need for removal. Well, something like this.

Finding information by error text

Another option. Problems when launching Far Cry 3 are usually accompanied by a corresponding system message. Specify the text of the error in the search, as a result of which you will receive the most detailed answer, and, moreover, regarding this particular problem. Actually, the decision will not keep you waiting. This way you can pinpoint the cause and fix the problem.

By the way, for some reason I always forget about it. Until I turn over the whole computer. But this the method works for all 92%. All you have to do is type in the text and find it. useful article. So you will definitely solve the problem, you do not need to send the PC to the workshop ahead of time and incur additional costs. There are many on the Internet useful material- study.

Running Far Cry 3 as administrator

Run the game as an administrator. In our case, to run Far Cry 3 as an administrator, you must click right click click on the game shortcut and select Run as administrator. Subsequently, if this method solves the problem, make it the default. Open the Shortcut Properties, in the Compatibility tab, and check the box Run this program as an administrator.

Far Cry 3 is not compatible with the system

Another obstacle to running Far Cry 3 may be incompatibility with your operating system. In this case, all in the same place, in the Properties of the shortcut, add the checkbox Run the program in compatibility mode, select the desired OS from the drop-down list.

.NET Framework not installed

A very serious problem in launching Far Cry 3 is the lack of an installed library on the computer. NET Framework, which provides the launch and maintains the performance of programs and applications, including games. This is a prerequisite and Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed on your PC.

There are different versions of the .NET Framework. The presence of any one of them on the computer cannot sufficiently guarantee the correct operation of the program. If, for example, the library is already installed on the computer, but the game requires it, download and install it. Restart your PC. previous version will not be deleted, will not be overwritten. They will just work together.


Use programs that will prepare your computer for correct operation games will help to avoid many problems and mistakes.

Operating system Software
Windows XP/7/8/10
Windows XP/7/8/10
Windows XP/7/8/10

Availability of DirectX

Perhaps the most important condition, a requirement that must be met for games, including Far Cry 3, is the presence of an installed . No toy will work without it. Almost all distributions that require DirectX installed already have this set in their composition.

As a rule, DirectX is installed automatically during installation. If it is not in the distribution, download and install. It is not necessary to do this before installation, it is possible after, but the presence on the computer is simply necessary. Download links are located above.

What to do if Far Cry 3 is not working?

Do not despair if you have already gone through all the ways and nothing helps, the game does not work. Perhaps these tips will seem too vague, incomprehensible, errors are still present. Check again, did you do everything right? If necessary, download another distribution of Far Cry 3, if purchased in a store, contact the seller (manufacturer) for help. Maybe the disk is corrupted, something is missing. It's normal, quite natural, it happens. Use a different distribution and install the game again.

As a last resort, there are situations when the operating system is still incompatible with Far Cry 3. Update the system Windows tools(via Update Center). The game will work. If the manufacturer indicated compatibility, then he is responsible for this. Update your operating system.

Reinstalling the OS is a last resort. Not sure about statements like "the operating system is pirated... assembly... won't work..." or "a hacked, pirated toy - throw it away ...". The moment that is worth your attention is to remember if there were similar problems with other games, in particular those similar to Far Cry 3. And if problems were observed, this suggests that it may be time to update something in the system or reinstall. Thank you for attention!
