Hello!
So I have come across an extremely annoying issue. When I go on Uplay and click on 'Play', the cursor has the blue loading circle for a second or two, then it goes back to the normal cursor. When I go into task manager, I look at the process named 'Far Cry 4' and I see that it is using no CPU, only 0.1MB of memory, no disk, and no network. Uplay thinks that I am in-game, and so I have to end the process through task manager, by clicking on the process and clicking 'End Task'. This is extremely annoying as I really want to play the game. I have not played the game before. The first time I launched the game after installing the patches, it installed all of the necessary things like Direct X, etc. Then it proceeded to do nothing. I tried ending the process and re-opening the game, but nothing worked. My CPU is a dual core i3 3240, however it has hyperthreading, so it has 4 logical cores, and therefore the game should run, so I don't believe this to be a CPU issue, plus I have also seen the game running on a system with the same CPU as mine. I would be EXTREMELY grateful if anybody could help me with this annoying issue.
Thank you.
EDIT: So I went and tried verifying the game files, and it found corrupted files. Now when I click 'Repair' It takes me to the 'Downloads' screen at which point I am told 'Download failed do to a disk write error.' I need help with this, I have no idea how to fix this. Please help!

You do not meet the minimum requirements for the game.Originally Posted by BowserJr395 Go to original post
1) I have seen the game running on my CPUOriginally Posted by xMiiSTY Go to original post
2) Requirements aren't the problem
3) If it was a CPU problem and not corrupted files then there would be a logo and then a black screen, but I just stay on my desktop when I attempt to launch the game
4) I need help with the 'Disk write error'
You're running on a dual core CPU which does not meet the minimum requirements and is not supported.

I don't mean to be rude, but IT IS NOT A SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ERROR. If it was a sytem requirements error, there would be a logo and then a black screen, as the game would not be corrupted. My game is corrupted and I stay on the desktop when I launch the game. Uplay has even found corrupted files and attempted to patch them but then I get a disk write error. That is what I need help with. IT IS NOT A CPU ISSUE.Originally Posted by xMiiSTY Go to original post
