[PC] Black screen on startup due to unsupported graphics card?
Hi all,
I bought this game but can't play it, whenever I launch it it shows the Far Cry 4 splashscreen, followed by a blank screen. When I force my way back to the desktop, I get the message "Far Cry 4 has stopped working".
My graphics card only supports DirectX 10 and I know FC4 needs a DX11 card, but wouldn't it at least launch and have some sort of error message like "Go buy a new graphics card" instead of just crashing? I plan to get a new card just for this game but I don't want to waste my money if it turns out that something else is stopping the game from working (e.g. shoddy console port).
I've read that this is a bug that's supposed to be fixed with the latest patches (i've let uplay patch the game). I tried unplugging my bluetooth keyboard/mouse and using a wired keyboard/mouse but it made no difference. I also tried verifying the game files and disabling Uplay overlay and that made no difference. It can't be the dual-core bug because I have a quad core.
My specs are: Intel Q9550s, 4Gb RAM, AMD HD 4670, Win 7 x64
