Hi, I have 100+ hours on Far Cry 5. It has always worked, up until today. Today it failed to start. And now every time I attempt to start the game, it instead opens Arcade Game Editor. No idea what happened. I am running the executable farcry5.exe from the Bin folder. I have tried "run as admin". Always the same thing, instead of the game launching, it now open Arcade Editor and it just stays running. Task Manager in Windows shows Far Cry 5 Arcade Editor running - have to manually terminate process - it never ends. Tried basic troubleshooting, no luck. Thanks for any help.

I read something about Verify Game Files - I did not see that option for me.

Hello everyone! Thanks for reaching out about this issue with launching Far Cry 5! If the suggestion from @rishi-toast doesn't seem to help, I do recommend doing a full reinstall of Far Cry 5. Also, is anyone experiencing this issue with launching a Ubisoft purchased version of the game?
