So I'm getting stealthy, killing all the bad red guys on Far Cry 3 and about to liberate an outpost when suddenly the screen gets black, hanged then displays this error:

"Display driver has stopped working and has recovered."

I've searched around Google and found out that my 560 Ti driver was outdated. So, I updated along with NVIDIA GeForce Experience and immediately optimize Far Cry 3 settings. It didn't work and the game still hangs and just got some black screen.

I've also tried Microsoft solutions (here):

Method 1:
I used Microsoft's "Fix It". Didn't work.

Method 2:
Didn't work.

Method 3:
In visual effects I chose to "Adjust for best performance". Didn't work.

Where is the problem coming from? How do I stop the game from freezing up? Do I really have no choice but to just lower the video settings of Far Cry 3?

I was having the problem even when I'm at 314.22 version.
I'll try the beta to see if it works... Thanks for the reply :)

Hey thanks! Yep, I did. I downloaded and tried it last night and after 3 hours of playing Far Cry 3 there was no error and it didn't crash.

I'm going to play again today to see if the beta driver really solve the issue.
Will update you.

I think the BETA drivers did the trick! I'm playing 6 hours straight now and no freezing or what so ever.
Thanks Darren! Now to get back to that scene where Citra is on top of me and topless ;)
