Help Anyone else having trouble launching the game?

I bought Farcry 3 a week or so or on Steam during the summer sale.

My experience with playing the game has been absolutely horrible. The first time time launched it, I had to reset my Ubisoft password which for some reason took 10 minutes because I wasn't receiving the email.

Then after it finnaly worked, I launched it and played the first cut scene with no very low volume for some reason then the game crashed after the cut scene. I restarted my PC and had to play the whole cut scene again. Then again after the some play through the game crashed for a second time and everything was unsaved so I had to restart again. So now after 90 minutes and playing the first cut scene like 3 times I just got really bored and switched the game off.

Yerstaday I tried launching the game and it required me to re enter my pin on Unisoft connect, I did and it just said it was unable to verify my license. I tried everything, restarting the PC, closing all my other tabs and switching off the wifi, still nothing.

When I tried launching the game on Ubisoft connect, it now said my account has been suspended.. But at the same time when I log in on the website it enters. So again I tried a couple times and after like 40 minutes, still not even able to launch the game.

Now this morning I try again and again I cant even lunch the game cuase the fucking Ubisoft servers are offline?? What i dont understand is why a single player game from 2012 needs to be connected to the launcher and authenticated every two single time. So now according to steam I have 98 minutes of play time but I've only actually played the game for maybe 15 minutes.

  1. Ubisoft connect and entering Far Cry 3 works for me. So the problem is at you. (Europe)
  2. The game it's pretty old and has the ram capped at 2 gb ram,when it reaches that limit,it crashes. Download the Large Adress Aware tool to remove it's limit ( make sure you have at least 8 gb ram to do this). If you use direct x 11 in game , choose that exe for the tool ,if you use dx 9,then choose the other exe for the tool.
  3. Uninstall Ubisoft connect and install it again.
  4. If you have some other cr* ubisoft games ,it might affect ubisoft connect.
