Hi guys,

 

 

I was playing Far Cry 3, but the game crashes after a few minutes or after the first two seconds. I tried lower graphics settings with DirectX 9 and 11, but the problem persists. Any ideas?

what are your system specs? any errors the it crashes?

Man, I've been playing this game recently and the crashes are so aggravating. I only get a crash every couple hours or so, but it's still a huge issue because of the game's very unforgiving save system. Like, the regular checkpoints where you respawn aren't that far apart, but if you actually close the game and re-load, you get kicked all the way back to the start of the mission most times, which can be a huge amount to re-play. When you combine that with the crashes the game is honestly near-unplayable.
