FIX FARCRY 3 BLOOD DRAGON FOR WINDOWS 10!!!

[Gaboon]

It's such a great game that deserves the attention and to be babied by Ubisoft. Meaning, they really need to patch this game because it's just so broken for so many people.

Yeah... I just installed it yesterday but it won't launch. Whenever I try to start the game, I get an error message saying that the game has stopped working.

Me too. I bought it, couldn't get it to launch, gave up and got a refund.

!Bump! It is ridiculous that Steam can never get good local file cache! Even RIGHT after I re-download it again (On Windows 10)

I can't get a refund for it... I've owned it for a while but only now got to actually start the game... Or try to start it, more like.

I verified the cache a few times already. Guess I'll just reinstall the whole ♥♥♥♥ and see what happens. Thanks for the info, though! I thought it wouldn't work but you gave me some hope!

Tired of every 3 year old game being broken in some way or another on PC.

1) Go to Steam Library, right click on FC3: Blood Dragon and choose "Properties" at bottom

2) Click on "Local Files" tab (3rd from left)

3) Click on "browse Local Files"

4) Right click on "FC3: Blood Dragon" file (make sure it's anapplication, I used the dx11 one)

5) Left Click on "Troubleshoot Compatability"

6) Let it run then choose "Troubleshoot Program" when able

7) Make sure top box is checked (The program worked in earlier versions.....)and click "Next"

8) Left click on Windows Vista (service Pack 2) then click "Next"

9) Make sure to test the program, if it works exit it before playing, click next and finish the troubleshooter.

11) Try and run through STEAM.

You should be good to go!

I contacted Ubisoft customer support and the instructions they gave me actually worked!

1. Disable your background applications: To do this, go to the Start menu on your desktop (or, if using Windows Vista/Windows 7 press the Windows key and the letter R at the same time) Type in MSCONFIG and press Enter Go to the tab, which says Start-up Click the option to Disable All Press Apply, then Close then pick the option to Restart

2. Clear your temporary files: To do this, go to the Start menu on your desktop (or, if using Windows Vista/Windows 7 press the Windows key and the letter R at the same time) Type in %TEMP% and press enter. Go to Edit and Select All. Go to File and Delete. NOTE: If you are using Windows 7, to highlight the files you will need to press Ctrl + A together. Once the files are highlighted, you will need to press the Delete key.

3. Make sure the drivers for your video card, sound card, motherboard and processor are up to date It's important that the components of your machine have the most up to date drivers. If they are not, then you may experience a number of different issues. To update your video card and sound card drivers you would need to visit manufacturer’s website. For motherboard drivers and processor drivers, you would need to visit the respective component manufacturer’s website. If you have a laptop, you will need to visit the laptop manufacturer’s website to update all drivers.

4. Could you please verify the game file on Steam? (or Uplay, depending on the version you have) Once you’ve done this, can you try launching the game?

Those steps actually got the game running for me. I'm surprised, because the customer support answers are usually just some generic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that doesn't work.

Also try playing it with Uplay set to offline mode. Uplay has a bad habit of crashing its games when playing with it in online mode.

It's not that as I can see how many broken files there are to the game.
