Far Cry 5 crashes - find and solve causes

In Far Cry 5 you will once again fight against every crazy creature imaginable. Here you use materials you find to upgrade your weapons or build new ones. It's especially annoying when the game crashes and you lose in a progress. Most of the time, the bug is fixed with a restart.

Why does Far Cry 5 crash?

Like every game, Far Cry 5 has its quirks. You will have to try around a bit until the game works again.

1. Restarting your PC will already fix most of the errors. Namely, the cache and memory will be cleared, which will also remove files with errors.
2. Update the Uplay Launcher and the game. To do this, go to the Uplay Launcher and click on Far Cry 5. If there is an update pending, install it.
3. Check the game files as well. To do this, go to "Far Cry 5" and click on the small arrow in the tile. Now select "Check game files for errors".
4. Update Windows and your graphics card driver as well, so that all software is up to date. Your graphics card driver may also be too new and need to be reset to an older version.
5. If your PC shuts down completely while gaming, it's probably because your graphics card or CPU is too hot. Kaufen Sie ein besseres Model oder entstauben Sie Ihren PC.

Gut zu wissen: Far Cry 5 hält ein unverhofftes Ende für Sie bereit.
