#Unable to launch Far Cry 3 with mods through steam (Ubisoft works)
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
i also get the "The game must be launched outside of Wand before pressing play" error whenever the game is already opened directly through Steam and i try to press play on Wand.
- Use Add or Remove Programs or Control Panel to uninstall Wand.
- Find and delete these folders:
-C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Local\Wand
-C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Roaming\Wand - Restart your PC.
- Reinstall Wand by downloading from: https://wand.com/download
It's possible that your antivirus software is causing interference. Try whitelisting or adding exceptions for the following folders:
C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Wand
C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Wand
Did the reinstall part, still happening
i skipped over the AV one since I do not use an antivirus, not even Defender (fully uninstalled)
You mentioned the ubisoft trainer works fine when you link it? Is that correct?
yes, when I add the .exe from the steamapps folder it opens normally when trying to launch through wand since it skips Steam
assuming theres some problem with Steam or something
worked fine today until Far Cry crashed and then it started doing this
tried reinstall Wand and Far Cry twice now, did not help
now i keep getting this when i click play on Steam, not through Wand
after removing the .exe from Wand
the game is running
also, not that big of an issue tbh but i play through Steam since im currently achievement hunting and i dont think it will sync achievements after playing directly through Ubisoft
i managed to fix it, was a user error. I switched to DX 9 today since thats what i found out was helping with minimizing crashes and after that it wasnt being recognized by Wand as a running game. Switched back to DX 11 rn and it mods are up and running 😃
sorry for wasting ur time, I appreciate ur help! Have a nice day ❤️
