Question Far Cry 3 - crash, looking for solutions

[Sym166]

Hello everyone,

Far Cry 3. Recently purchased and tried to play it, but..... Every time it crashes to desktop without any reason and error message. I have noticed, fps drop to about 17 when the game plays starting video and then crash to desktop. There is no error message or anything, however I did alt + tab once and I have seen something like runtime library error. Other Far Cry games are running flawlessly. Anyone had the same issues and managed to solve it?

Are you playing in DX9?
FC3 crashing to desktop

Played on dx11, changed to dx9 and was able to play, but not for long. Later on crashed to desktop once again.. Testing other options at the moment.

edit: dx9 helped little bit, so I looked for other stuff. I found that runtime library is something with visual c++ so I checked which version I have and it was fine, but I was missing net framework for some reason. Installed it and game is running now without crashes. At least for now, will see. Maybe other people will find this helpful.

Yep, was just going to say anytime you revert to DX9 on a newer sys MAKE SURE all your redist files are updated to their latest versions, including VS C++, AND Net Framework. My guess is it will be fine now.
