    EXIT GAME = UNRESPONSIVE BLACK SCREEN (requiring hard reboot)

    hi

    i have a problem with far cry 4, i will be playing fine for a while lets say an hour and then i will save and quit the game and then all that happens is my pc goes to a black screen which is COMPLETELY unresponsive, no ctrl alt del no alt f4 no sleep no lock.. nothing at all, the only thing i can do is hard reboot. This happens maybe 50% of the time i close the game but not always.

    is this happening to anyone else? i have NEVER had this problem on any other game

    i have a strong enough pc to run it fine i get over 100fps on full ultra 1080p

    any help would be great thanks

    Old thread, no answers, but have the same problem when exiting Escape from Durgesh (DLC) - black screen that need a hard sys reset!
    All else is okay.

    Thank you, Booma, I am in contact with support and all I can say is they're a little numb understanding a fairly simple issue - Support Ticket: 02588348

    I don't think my issue is going anywhere but wasting time.

    EDIT: Matthew finally came up with a working idea after a little more research - sometimes miracles take a little longer

    Okay, the black screen (game exit) crash only affects Escape from Durgesh DLC when you have this setting below:

    use another setting and it will work fine - I just leave it here as it may be helpful for others
