Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon doesn't work.

[Insomniator]

Just got a GTX 780 -- decided I'd give FC3 BD a shot (via uplay).

Well, first it wouldn't download correctly. Had to reinstall a few times and still hit 'ignore' on a few issues with files. Now it just crashes on startup after updating twice. Event viewer shows faulting module FC3_d3d11.dll and there are plenty of references to that on the internet.

But WHY do I have to worry about this in the first place? I shouldn't have to go into freaking event viewer to play a stupid computer game. Feels like I'm at work all over again.

Anyone have/fix this issue before? SO ANNOYING. Makes me want to just buy a ps4.

Do you have uPlay installed on the same drive the game is on? If not, uninstall uPlay and install it on your game drive.

It never worked for me either. Game would load and play fine...but it would never save.

 

[Insomniator]

On the same drive, tried reinstalling everything... same crap.

CRC error when trying to install. Verifying afterwards doesn't help. People online suggest new RAM... give me a break. Have been using this computer/ram for years with no problems.

Thanks ubisoft

And this is why I am so reluctant to get UPlay, despite interesting games like The Division.

Just crack the game. You own a legit copy, and stripping the DRM would likely fix things.

disable the uPlay overlay in game

game worked fine for me from day one

 

[monkeydelmagico]

I had some problems getting this one running and saving too. I'm glad I worked through them, the game is pretty good.

Sounds like a driver issue to me

When uplay tried to install the directx drivers for the game did you interrupt it ?

Try installing the direct x part again and see what it does
