PLEASE FIX THE LAUNCH OF YOUR GAME ON MODERN PROCESSORS

[𝐥Ø𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲]

I have a new generation i9-14900HX processor with 24 cores and 32 threads, the game simply does not start, hangs on the initial loading screen of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon. This comes to be due to having more than 8 computing threads or processing cores. Exactly the same problem with Far Cry 3, please update your games for modern hardware.

I have a 12 core processor and both games work fine for me.

It seems daunting but the instructions are very detailed for those who aren't very familiar with applying fixes or navigating Windows explorer. If you have an hour of spare time, give it a shot. You can always follow the tutorial linked in my post for a more concise guide.

I know it's not fair. Anything listed in store should be a working product. But unfortunately that is the reality for a lot of games. You can refund if you can, cross your fingers and wait for a patch for an abandoned game, or you can apply the patch yourself. This is a common problem for a lot of older games, this patch fixes most games that doesn't play well with anything that has high core counts.

I'm glad it worked! If you have similar issues with other older titles, you can try this fix for them as well

big bump for this. everyone who is having issues on newer hardware should be trying this before anything else.

I actually recently went through these exact steps for FC3 itself, forgot that this solution existed, tried using the Process Lasso method for FC3:BD, found it didn't work, then rediscovered this, went through the steps again, and finally got FC3:BD to launch.
