[PROBLEM SOLVED] Crashes of the game after 5-15 minutes of gamplay
After 5-15 minutes of gameplay I get visual glitches and crash without error.
Here is the video of my problem - https://youtu.be/F-4fUxck-mI

My system:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT
Mainboard: ASRock B450M Pro4 R2.0
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 8GBx2(16GB) DDR4-3200 MHz
System: Windows 10 Pro
Monitor: LG 27GN800P-B IPS 2k 2.560x1.440 144Hz
The game is located on system storage (Samsung 980 Pro 1TB)

The way I fixed the crashes:

-I set all of game exe files (fc3, fc3d3d11 , FC3UpdaterSteam) to compatibility mode with Windows 7 and run as administator mode. You should also set the run as administrator mode for Steam and Ubisoft Connect to get the possibility for saving your statistics (played hours, for example) and working the steam overlay. Just go to direction, where your game is installed, then to "bin". There are the exe files of the game. You should set compatibility mode with Windows 7 and run as administator mode. After that go to direction of Steam and Ubisoft Connect and set the run as administrator mode, but WITHOUT compatibility mode with Windows 7.
-I changed the lighting mode from SSAO to HDAO (only in dx11 mode)

Another ways to solve the problem can be:
-Set graphic settings to low
-Go in: Documents>My games>Far Cry 3, and then open file named "GamerProfile", open it throught nootebook or micrsoft notepad, u must find "D3D11MultithreadedRendering" in fourth line, and if you have 1 instead of 0, switch to 0 (from user durgod D:)
-Delete/reset settings file (C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3\GamerProfile)
-Try to play in other DirectX mode (9 or 11)
-Disable TabletInputService (Open Task Manager, go to Services, find TabletInputService (Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service), disable the service and stop it)
-Disable MSAA
-Play at windowed mode
-Enable Vsync
-Manually lock FPS to 60 (For example with RivaTuner)
-If you have a CPU with a big count of cores (8+), try to disable some of them (Enter to Windows Search "System Configuration" and start it, go to "Boot" tab, click "advanced options" and set the count of threads, that you want to use)
-Update libraries (.net framework, DirectX, Visual C++)
-If the game is located not on the system storage, try to install the game on it (Disk C)
-Update drivers of your graphics card

I found the guide below fixed it for me after trying other things. I also disabled subtitles as the last patch had something to do with that. Maybe it introduced a bug...

As i understand it, he fixed it by switching to HBAO? 😅 sounds weird but also Ubisofts relationship between old games and win11 is weird too…

I'm having the same problem with a 5900x and 3090... tried disabling a CCD and a whole load of things on this list... tried Ubisoft version as well as steam.

how to change aim mode of my weapons in fc3

Hi friend I hope you are well please tell me you play Far cry 3 if so tell me how I should change the aiming mode of weapons in the game? Because I prefer to press to activate the aiming mode instead of holding it

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=273747028

1. Go to Documents -> My Games -> Far Cry 3
2. Open "GamerProfle.xml" with a text editor (Notepad works as well)
3. Search for "toggle" by using Find option (Ctrl+F)
4. Change the value of IronsightToggleMode="0" to "1"
