Like many others, I seem to have issues when attempting to start FC4. It's worked fine in the past, but the following issues began cropping up some time last week.
When clic/king the "Play" button in UPlay, a screen message briefly pops up noting that my save game files are syncing with the UPlay servers. Then . . . nothing.
To clear up any questions:
- I've uninstalled and re-installed both FC4 and UPlay twice now, hoping to clear up whatever issues are causing FC4 from loading;
- Only FC4 freezes. All other UPlay games load just fine;
- I've manually deleted all UPlay and FC4 related folders from my computer;
- No software is blocking the sending or receiving of files from UPlay servers; anti-virus has been disabled when attempting to determine the recent cause of FC4 not loading;
- Putting UPlay into Offline mode does allow FC4 to execute, though it's proceeded with a black screen and the program freezing;
- Yes, my computer specs do meet and surpass the hardware requirements to run this game;
- I do not have any apps. loaded on start that would block/restrict FC4, or UPlay, from loading
Thoughts?

UPDATE:4/9/2015
It appears the culprit blocking FC4 from running was the Heat Map feature running in the Razer Synapse. Software the came with my mouse; which I only use to turn the mouse's lights off. Unclear as to when this feature turned on, but FC4 will not execute if this particular Razer Synapse feature is enabled.
have your verified your game files ?
To verify your files if you bought the game thru Steam
go to your Steam games library
right clik on far cry 4
select properties
select local files
select verify Integrity of game cache
it takes a few min to do but its faster the redownloading your entire game , if its only a few files that were corrupt or installed incorrectly .... this in many cases will fix your problems getting the game to start
If you have the U play only Version of the game you can also verify your game files with U play
if you have the game via u play only here are instructions how to verify your game files thru their client
