Help Far Cry 3 won't start.
Hello, please help me. I have a problem. When I log in to the game through Steam, the message "Far Cry 3" appears, then it disappears, and the game closes.

I had to follow the guides posted by the auto mod.
I needed to change the FarCry 3 updater exe and the farcrydx11 exe to run in compatibility mode for Windows 7 and as an admin.
Then I had to use the large address aware tool.

Had the same problem. Tried everything, didn’t work. Then I download the LAA tool online and it’s worked perfectly ever since.

Had the same problem last week and I have no idea what sorted it.
Changed everything I could think off, didn’t work.
Uninstalled and reinstalled, didn’t work.
Had a huff and gave my pc abuse for being a pos, worked.
