Cant play the game

[Lotreanca]

I played this game couple of times in the past and never had issues. To be honest since last I played i upgraded to Win11 but video card specs and other stuff did not change. However, the weird issue is that I can start the game, get in the menu but when I click to load a file or start new campaign, game gets stuck in a blank screen for some reason. If I press escape button, I can see the menu and navigate thru it with no issues.


Specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz
8G RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti
Win 11

Thanks for this recommendations but I am not gonna install unknown files or programs just to run a game that should work in the first place. I saw on web many complains since these achievements were added. If ubisoft wont bother to do a patch, I am gonna skip ubisoft as a whole since they, again, managed to f@@k up again. And that joke about games being old on a new machine reason is another joke since I can play other games from 2000s with no issues.

There will be no patch for such old game. To skip it, or not - is your choice.

again ubisoft never screwed anything up

times change as do operating systems and CPU core counts ,, this game is old and originally shipped with WINDOWS XP support for a dual core CPU and direct x 10 cards were brand new that had a whopping 512 meg of v ram

there are no teams working on a title this old to update it

so yea your gonna have to use work arounds on new hardware ..sorry

you choose to skip it ...fine .. no one here cares

move on and go play far cry 5 or 6

it works fine here with WIN 10 intel 7600 k and my EVGA rtx 3060

and plays better then it did when it shipped ... with win XP and my old dual core 6600 Pentium and a asus 512 meg 8600 GT series vid card

As I mentioned before, I played older games then FC3 and worked properly. I played Fc3 and 4 last year and had no issues and Ubisoft as a 'great company' will shrug their shoulders and move on. So what you say about core counts and stuff like that do not make sense in my eyes.

The only old game I know has issues with new OS or videos cards is Crysis and Alone in the Dark, but those were exceptions.

But your answer is welcomed, even thou a bit rude but is ok :)

You can reduce used cores by Task Manager or msconfig, built in Windows, not thirdparty software.

The one i linked is a tool Made by Microsoft. I had the exact same issue and it worked perfectly. Because it is an older game and tech develops so fast that is the only good way to fix it.

had the same problem, the most common solution i found online was to reduce your processor core to 8. for me, it just worked after i deleted the game and reinstalled it to my ssd
