Forget chaning it to farcry3*.exe, after 1 load it seemed to drop the * in there. So the DX9 would load but not the DX11, so best stick with the seperate code.

I'm getting a crash after anything from 5 to 50 mins. where the screen freezes then goes black. task manager shows FC3 and the ubisoft running, and when I end both using task manager the games sound still plays in the background

I have tried with and without CPU overclocked, with and without the GPU's overclocked, afterburner enabled & disabled, and every other fix I can find online-it still crashes. My sound drivers are up to date & running latest 12.11 beta & CAPS.

Anyone had similar, or an idea what else I should try?

Thanks all (& happy new year).

Edit: It seems afterburner was causing it, exiting afterburner & adjusting the OC for GPU's using CCC now and seems stable.

So I started playing Far Cry 3. This game looks amazing at ultra and I happy to say the it feels very smooth as well. The one problem I have is with the minimap. At 16:9 the minimap is obnoxious, but at 21:9 it is even worse. The UI seems to be scaling with the aspect ratio. I know it is possible to remove the HUD entirely, but that doesn't seem handy for my first play trough. Does anyone know if it is possible to reduce the size of the minimap?

That's funny. I'm sure one thing the vid poster didn't show was prior to the E3 video demo there was probably some small text or a "product shown may/may not be representative of final product" disclaimer to cover their asses.

If they didn't then... yeah it sucks but I guess just an inconvenient truth.

I also wish sandwiches we were shown on TV were like the actual sandwich we got when we went to said restaurant instead of some flat, no fixin's, cheap ass garbage.

Anyone know why the heck I am getting a "Could not find suitable display settings" error on launch?

Running 3240x1920 portrait. Tried 5780x1080 landscape and same error. I matched the resolution lines up in the GamerProfileIGE.xml in games\documents folder but that had no effect.

Gosh I hate trash software, might try and get a refund with Steam I have no patience anymore for broken software.

I've never had this problem with my HD 6990 but with my 2x HD 7970 GHz, HUD, mini map and subtitles are all ****ed up so badly that I can't play the game at all.

I am using Catalyst 13.5 Beta 2 right now but also tried 13.4 WHQL and it is the same

Here is a screenshot comparison:

Is there any fix for that ?

The only way that fixed it for me is to remove the 2nd card completely from the PCI-E slot, disabling CF doesn't do anything

Just a quick note that as of August 2013, with patch 1.05, fired up Far Cry 3, choose my maximum resolution, and triplewide worked first try. No stretched hud, menu, or fov issues for me (5040x1050+bezel correction).
Played the game all day, completed about 20% of the game, no crashes. Thumbs up! I was not a big fan of the original Far Cry (enemy AI was ridiculous), and Far Cry 2 bored me (though I see elements of it in this game). There does seem to be a lot of Hitman Absolution and Tomb Raider mixed into this game, and it works for me...quite addicting, always one more mission, one more area of the map to clear.
And hunting a black leopard with a bow and arrow? Damn cat pounced on me more times than I can remember. And only seen one so far, for a second before it ate me, a crocodile snatched me when I was a bit in the water, made me jump!
The tigers are great for clearing out an enemy base also, a couple of times I let them do most of the work. The animal animations are quite well done, have been driving along and a group of water buffalo are blocking the road, and then they gracefully trot off and alongside the road, very smooth and realistic.
With my one GTX 780, tried Ultra everything cranked to the max, and it did not run quite smooth enough, so chose Optimal, and it runs and looks great with HDAO (SBAO gave me weird shadows). So still plan on adding another 780 next year.

Running 1.05 with a TripleHead2Go. Still getting large HUD issues. I've tried disabling my 4th monitor, different resolutions, and fullscreen/windowed configurations. Did anyone ever find a fix?

Flawless widescreen 1.0.10 can't search for farcry3 1.05 process.
1.0.09 was no problem. any idea?

The problem with the hud appears when using triple monitor eyefinity on and AMD and ALSO HDMI audio. The game gets messed up with the extended monitor windows thinks it has on the hdmi audio. Remove the extended 4rth monitor and the HUD is normal.
Anyone know of a fix for this?
