Far Cry 3 crashing on Windows 10

[Delayio]

I have made the upgrade to Windows 10, and I noticed that when I launch Far Cry 3, I only have about 13 minutes before the game crashes. No matter what, every time I launch it, it crashes. I have tried reinstalling it muliple times, setting Steam. Uplay, Far Cry 3, and Ubisoft Game Launcher to Windows 8 and 7 compatibility mode, and running all of the listed programs as administrator. Nothing works. Also note when I upgraded to Windows 10 I had to install latest graphics drivers through Windows Update. I don't know if that had anything to do with FC3 crashing, but you never know. If anyone is having the same problem, and has found a solution, please help. Thank you.

Are you on win10 pro or home ? The gpu drivers for win10 through windows update are not game friendly and are kind of basic.
Could be an over heating of the gpu or the cpu also.
There is a workaround, but it envolves some addational thigs to make the game work right.
Download the gpu driver from the makers web sight and get this from here

Do not know if it works on win10 home.
Post back if you get it working or not and the errors.

Installed FC3 3 days ago (17 hrs play) on Win 10 Home and the only problem i had was one issue with multiplayer and that was probably Ubi Server. No problems in single player. Sorry I can't help you.
fyi - running Nvidia grafix card.

I am on Windows 10 Home, Thanks for the link, and thanks for answering back so quickly

Okay, so I just downloaded the latest graphics drivers, using the Intel Driver update utility, I'm going to install those, and what am I supposed to get from the Microsoft site?

Question
What are the minimum system requirements for Far Cry 3?
Answer
In order to run Far Cry 3 properly, your PC MUST meet or exceed these minimum requirements:

Minimum System Requirements

Supported OS: Windows XP (SP3) / Vista (SP2) / Windows 7 (SP1) / Windows 8
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core2 Duo E6700 or 3.0 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ or better
RAM: 4 GB
Video Card: 512 MB DirectX 9.0c-compliant with Shader Model 3.0 or higher (see supported list)*
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c-compliant (5.1 surround sound recommended)
DVD-ROM: Dual-layer drive
Hard Drive Space: 15 GB
Peripherals Supported: Windows-compatible keyboard, mouse, optional controller (Xbox 360 Controller for Windows recommended)
Multiplayer: 512 kbps or faster broadband connection

Supported Video Cards at Time of Release:
AMD Radeon HD 2900 / 3000 / 4000 / 5000 / 6000 / 7000 series or better
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX / 9 / 200 / 400 / 500 / 600 series or better

Laptop versions of these cards may work, but are not supported. These chipsets are the only ones that will run this game.

if you had the game running on an Onboard Intel vid chip it had to run the game pretty bad even with your previous operating system
and i doubt you will have any Luck with Windows 10 unless you have an AMD or Nvidia Video card

Okay, thanks for telling me, I didn't know Intel cards weren't supported.

yep look up the minimum system requirements on steam on the store page .. says the same info ... you need and Nvidia or AMD card with at least 512 meg of ram on it

intel onboard chips are good for general computing, office tasks, and watching movies .. NOT gameing since they do not offer Dedicated Video ram .. and instead use your onboard system ram (this is much slower then most video cards that have Dedicated GDDR 5 ram )

I had the same problem that crashing after 13-15 minutes launched the game.
I think i found a solution by chances. It may sounds ridiculous but it works on my system.

Just signout from widows10 when some applications are not responding.
I used Skyrim Mod organizer to do this. launch any application via Mod organizer then signout.
And the application is not responding screen shows up, click "cancel" go back to desktop.

After doing this, You might be able to play farcry3 without any crash.
You can launch any application you need when you playing game like Geforce Experience, Logicool set point, MSI afterburner...
I think I did same thing as clean boot or something. Some background prosesses go wrong with the games using Xaudio2_7 like farcry 3, Alien isolation, Deus ex...
I am not sure about this works for everyone having this problem, but hope it will help.
And Sorry for my bad English.

I'm having the same issue, Game worked fine on Win 8.1, Upgraded to 10 and now it crashes every 10-20 minutes. Seems like it's a DirectX issue or just Windows 10 being.. Broken I guess?

SmartKidd123, these instructions resulted in something ?

Been having the same problem with windows 10 on Farcy3.

My specs is the Asus G751 gaming laptop with GTX 970m series and i7-4710HQ processor. So All settings are ultra high and with 8GB Ram, doubt i'll have any problem with requirements.

Working fine when using the older Nvidia drivers before windows 10 newer version, After upgrading to Windows 10 nvidia driver cards, the game seems to hang after averaging or 15 - 20 minutes playing. Its constant everytime you play the game......

[Talwin3k]

your problems are not due to drivers its because the game is expecting windows xp so if you set the compatibility mode to win xp sp3 your problems will be sorted :-)

[thorquad]

All wrong. The crash after 15 mins game play is soley related to the realtek drivers. Check the general crash thread. As one user abtly put it:

"Hi, please read previous posts on the past several pages. In short, a number of us are crashing after upgrading to Windwos 10 due to some sort of error with the Realtek drivers and the XAudio2.dll file. There is no known fix as this is a new issue related to a new operating system and version of DirectX. Chances are you have a motherboard with on-board Realtek audio and Windows 10 home. People with this combination are most susceptibile to the issue.

It's possible that your crashes are being caused by something else. To be sure, run the game until it crashes then do the following:

Start > Run > Event Viewer: Windows Logs: Application
Look for the exception code and faulting module.

If the exception code is "Exception Code: c0000005" and the faulting module is any version of the d3d.dll or XAudio2.dll, you know you're effected by this and there's little you can do besides rollback your OS to Windows 8 or wait for Microsoft or Realtek to update their software."

To proof a point I ran it on my onboard intel chip with the sound chip deactivated. It worked fine for well over the everywhere reported 15 mins. ;)

bwt, don't need to install the latest driver from here either http://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/5993-latest-realtek-hd-audio-driver-version.html
Did not fix the issue for me. In fact the performance of the sound is worse (crackling noises the whole time) and the computer started to lag, even when playing youtube videos.

Win10 needs to be guinea-pigged for at least another 18 months.
Let others do it.

Your os should be win7 x64. Best of teh bunch.

Kill TabTip.exe in the task manager.
