What are DEFAULT.lua Error Messages?


General DEFAULT.lua Runtime Errors

DEFAULT.lua file errors often occur during the startup phase of Far Cry 2, but can also occur while the program is running. These types LUA errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Far Cry 2 is running. Here are some of the most common DEFAULT.lua runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Crytek\Far Cry Demo 2\Scripts\AI\Characters\DEFAULT.lua

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most LUA errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your DEFAULT.lua file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Far Cry 2), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, DEFAULT.lua file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Far Cry 2, system crash while loading or saving DEFAULT.lua, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download DEFAULT.lua Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying DEFAULT.lua to your appropriate Windows system directory. Ubisoft typically does not release Far Cry 2 LUA files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing DEFAULT.lua and all other LUA files for Far Cry 2. An incorrectly installed LUA file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
