    Guess waht it still gives me black screen

    So updated it (after reinstalling it a few hundred times, redownloaded it, even bought a physical copyand installed it that method and iI still get ta beautiful black screen then the game crashes) My tower is running Unity on max settings perfectly fiine (and recording game footage) I think the last update fixed the support for controllers so I ask wtf is the issue... I'm gettiung sick of being ignored, if its broken I demand a refund my full 100 bucks...

    What are your PC specs?
    Have you verified your Uplay game files for FC4? https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/60...0000000ee85CAA
    Have you made sure all of your drivers are up-to-date?

    Got CPU with 4 cores?

    After Googling this, I fount that the general consensus on different forums is that there is a Lock in the game that prevents it from starting if you have less than 4 cores. An i3 With 4 threads seems to work. With my Dobbel Core CPU I get the same black screen. This should be more clearly advertised when buying the game.

    Our minimum requirements are listed here: http://blog.ubi.com/far-cry-4-pc-specs/. The minimum requirements are also specified on any platform you purchase the game on as well (Amazon, Uplay, etc).

    And STILL they don't clearly state that you need a 4 core (4 threads to be exact) processor to run the game. It really needs to be told that the game has an artificial lock that prevents it from running on a dual and triple core systems.

    I don't need Google to know that they are quad core processors. And yes, Ubi still should clearly state that there is an artificial lock in the game.

    You know, for years many games have claimed to "require Phenom X4" and still they have worked on dual/triple core processors that have MORE CPU horsepower than the said quad core processor.
