    After INTRO no video only audio

    Hi!

    Like in the topic. I bought FC4 on Steam and everything is OK until the intro finishes. Then the video just goes black and I can hear only the audio. When I'm in offline mode it keeps going on still without video. While I'm in online mode the game just put me back in the menu informing me that my PC just lost connection with uplay serwers.

    Could You tell me what do I have to do? I just want to play that game and this blackout makes me go nuts...

    My PC
    Intel(R) Core iS CPU 650 @3.20 GHz
    4 GB
    Windows 7
    AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series

    Thx.

    Best Regards,

    M_G

    also you need to buy a new CPU

    ​your cpu is a dual core

    # of Cores 2
    # of Threads 4

    your CPU is not a full quad core CPU like an I5 750 is

    http://ark.intel.com/products/42915/...Cache-2_66-GHz

    # of Cores 4
    # of Threads 4

    Thx

    Well, at least NOW I know where is the problem. I have to admit that I made a fool of myself. But anyway I was going to upgrade my PC next month so all is not lost.


    Thanks for the info.
