WHY MY FARCRY 3 CRASHING?

When i play farcry 3,i can play for about half an hour before my whole pc freezes,and i have to press ctrl,alt and delete to restart my pc,then i can play the game again for about half an hour before my pc freezes again,and i do not have a low end pc,so if anyone knows how to fix the problem i would like to know.

What are the specs of your PC, please share them. You say its not a "low end PC", so what are your specs please.

Not every single fix will work for all things. AMD and Nvidia have separate settings you need to change, especially on more than 10 core PCs. I have to disable, I think 8/16 cores to run older games like Lego games, Prototype, Red Faction e.t.c. Had to do this for Assassin's Creed 1.

Kinda Ironic that you somehow just lost your ubisoft connect login info, hmm

Because it's a 13 year old game that doesn't work with modern systems and Ubisoft didn't even attempt to test the game after they put in Steamworks.

I've been struggling on two systems to play it. It doesn't matter what your specs are, it's going to crash.

System 1:

I7-6700k, GTX1080, Windows 10 Pro

System 2

I9-13900K, RTX4090, Windows 11 Pro

On both of them I've deleted the game profile xml, I've set the Dx9 and the Dx11 exe's to Co mpatibility Mode with Win 7. On Windows 10 the game runs without changing the cores, but I also turned off multithreaded rendering. On DX11 on Windows 10, it crashes about every 10 - 15 minutes. On DX9 on Windows 10, it crashes about every 8 - 12 minutes.

On Windows 11, it won't run at all unless I drop my cores down to like 16 and use the Dx11 executable, with all the same troubleshooting, and it also crashes every 15 - 20 minutes.

Anyone telling you otherwise is a liar unless they're running Windows 7.

maaan i tried to log into ubisoft connect and an email was already entered,this email i never used before and i did not recognise it,so i changed the email but the ubisoft games will only work on that specific account info that i had,because the games was like wired to that info right?So because i changed the account info,none of my ubisoft games seem to recognise it and that seems to prevent me from playing the games.

i could not re-enter the email when i tried to log in, it did not give me an option because the email was like sort of faded so i could not enter my own email,that is why i changed my email

I know not everyone has a steam deck. But for the life of me, I couldn't get it to work on my pc before i found the fix. But it works fine on my steam deck with no problems. Its not a solution the problem itself. But another way to play if you have the means.

Did you try LAA? Because that has fixed the issue for several people including myself.

Tried this...didn't work.

Even tried the fix with the parameters, didn't work either.

I've seen mention of LAA patching fixing it.

I managed to play yesterday for over an hour in dx11 on Win 10, while also recording it, with no crashes whatsoever. I actually have gotten the game to launch 2 or 3 times since then, too, through Steam on the same machine without running anything as admin.

If you've never played FC3, I'd honestly recommend just playing it on console. The only reason to be trying to mess with this now is the achievements. Fixes or not it's always been a miserable experience on PC, even when it was new - back when even high end systems could barely run the game.
