    also cut down on any background apps that may be running when windows starts

    Background Applications
    You may also encounter problems due to applications running in the background on your computer system. When playing Ubisoft games, please be sure to close all running background applications before starting your game. You can find the steps for this listed below.

    - Open your start menu and look for Run (Win XP), Start search (Win Vista), or Search programs and files (Win 7)
    - Delete anything on the Open line that you'll find there, and type in the word MSCONFIG and press the Enter key to bring up the system configuration utility
    - Look down the list of startup items (not the tab labeled Startup), and choose Selective Startup (if it is not already selected) (If you don't see this, make sure you've clicked on General, near the top of the window)
    - Once you've chosen Selective Startup, uncheck 'Load Startup Items'
    - Once you're done here, click Apply & OK, and let it reboot your computer
    - Once restarted, make sure that any application that affects your local network is disabled

    Try running the game again. If the game loads and seems to be working, the problem is most likely related to one or more programs you have scheduled to load with Windows. You can then revert the settings back the way they were, and in a trial and error fashion, disable some programs using the startup tab (in the msconfig utility) to try to find the culprit.

    *Keep in mind that this is a temporary solution and any changes can be reverted by returning to the MSCONFIG utility and re-selecting 'Normal Startup"

    some applications do not play nice with far cry 4 such as

    MSI AFTERBURNER
    RIVA Tuner & Riva Tuner Statistics Server
    EVGA Precision

    and you will need to exit them ...........or reconfigure them to play nice with far cry 4 in some cases

    also UPDATE all your DRIVERS especially for your video card ..
