It has been barely over a week since Ubisoft<\/b> officially released Far Cry Primal<\/b> for the PC platform. The game basically takes us back to 10,000 BCE. According to the developer, this game is the perfect example of how man turned from a mere hunter to a settler. The game has been receiving fairly positive reviews as we write these lines. However, the game also occasionally suffers from poor performance and intermittent crashes to the desktop without any apparent reason. You can try the system cleaning features of ST Cleaner to run Far Cry with fewer issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Normally such an error shouldn\u2019t occur in the first place, considering this game is a triple-A title and comes from an elite game developer. Even more surprising is the fact that Ubisoft hasn\u2019t issued an official statement regarding these issues up till now. Apparently, there are some methods that you can try out to solve the game crashing issue as well as the unusual lag, too. Let\u2019s jump into the solutions then without wasting any more time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Update Graphics Card Drivers<\/b><\/h2>\n

If Far Cry Primal is crashing to desktop without any apparent error, chances are that you are using outdated graphics card drivers. It is advised to do a clean installation of drivers before going for the updated version of the driver.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Uninstall your current display drivers by going to Control Panel<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  2. Once the drivers are uninstalled, restart your computer.<\/li>\n
  3. Download and install the latest AMD<\/b> or Nvidia<\/b> drivers according to your graphics card:\u00a0AMD<\/a> |Nvidia<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. Once the drivers have been installed, restart your PC again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Reinstalling the graphics card driver will hopefully fix the issue with crashing. If it doesn\u2019t work out, continue to the next solution.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Verifying Game Cache Files (Steam Only)<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Although Steam<\/b> is like a gust of fresh air for gamers, there are some issues that plague this otherwise amazing platform. Sometimes when you have a game on Steam, some critical files that are required to execute the game often get deleted or corrupted for no reason at all.<\/p>\n

    Thankfully, Steam has its own way of taking care of such issues as you can verify the integrity of your game files to make sure there is nothing wrong with them. If a file is damaged or deleted, it\u2019ll be repaired without having the entire game to be re-downloaded. Check out how to verify a file\u2019s integrity below.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open the Steam client and log-in.<\/li>\n
    2. Click on Library.<\/b><\/li>\n
    3. Now right-click on Far Cry Primal<\/b> and then click on Properties.<\/b><\/li>\n
    4. Click on the Local Files <\/b>tab.<\/li>\n
    5. Now click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If Steam detects any broken or missing files, it will automatically fix them and the game will be up and running again in no time.<\/p>\n

      We hope you\u2019ll get rid of any issues after trying out these 2 solutions. Please write to us. Your feedback matters! Have a good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
