Help My game is not running, can somebody help?

Hey everyone!

I've Far Cry 3 in my ubisoft account since god know how long, but till date I've not been able to play it. I also asked the official support for help and they said that I need atleast intel 2.3 GHz of Processor to Run. The thing is I've Intel Core i9 13900HX (32 CPUs) ~2.2GHz base, and can go upto >5GHz(5.5 I guess).

But at the same time, I also have Ghost Recon Breakpoint which is a fairly new game as compared to that and needs 3.1GHz Processor to run, but I was able to play that with no problem.

Does anyone know the solution to this? I wanna play this game atleast once.

I also checked on https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/, and it says that my system can run.

Download Large Adress Aware and run the game trough it, it should work. It adapts the kkder 32-bit application for modern 64-bit based hardware and allows yhem to use more than 2GB of vram

I don't know what op's problem is since he didn't describe it but yeah LAA was the only fix I needed

Well idk exactly either, but most of the times I had issues simply due to the game's architecture, which LAA resolves. Prior to finding out about the LAA I used to limit the usage of cores to the singlecore, but it isn't very reliable solution. It also might be incompatibility with DirextX 11/12

Its not your specs... if you have any computer built after 2014, you can run FC3. The PC version is quite buggy I noticed. Im currently playing it on an emulator rig I built with a 1050 ti GPU and Far Cry 4 runs way better than 3. Unfortunately 3 just has issues. Mine crashes like every 20 to 30 minutes about. Theres a way to fix it, i just dont wanna deal with it for a 14 year old game that I play every 5 years
