Just Cause 3, the newest action-adventure game from developer Avalanche Studios and publisher Square Enix, was released on 1 December for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
The protagonist from Just Cause 2, Rico Rodriquez, comes home to Medici, a fictional island that is currently under the tight control of dictator General Di Ravello, who is eyeing world domination.

Following the release of the Just Cause 3 on PC, the players have been reporting of facing launch day issues like crashing and as seen in an image posted by a member of Reddit forums.
One player asked, "After maybe 3 or 4 minutes in the game, it crashes. Anyone else have problems with something like this?" to which one replied, "Mine crashes after you load up the game (When Rico is sitting on the chair looking at the explosion in the ocean). Once it cuts from that to the first loading screen my game crashes. I have tried like 10 different times to get it to work."
Many PC players of Just Cause 3 have complained of having issues in AMD card, and a developer from Avalanche Studios has posted that the company is aware of it and it is working to fix it.
