    Far Cry 4 crashes due to USB devices?

    Hi,

    I've bought Far Cry 4 yesterday off the Steam Summer Sale and I tried booting it, all I get is an error saying Far Cry 4 stopped responding mid way on the loading screen. I've learned that this is because USB devices (?) But this should have been fixed six months ago in patch 1.4.0. I'm using Corsair equipment (Corsair Vengeance K99 and Corsair FPS M65 Gaming Mouse). I'm sorry but this is really, really lazy for a giant company like Ubisoft to have a game that is not capable of running with drivers that are from one of the largest Gaming Equipment Corporations. I've actually had a cracked version of the game earlier this year (February - March) which ran seamless with the same equipment and now all the sudden this happens. I really don't want to refund it because it's a great game, but if I have to because the Development Team hasn't been able to fix this in the first seven months of the game I have no other option to do so.

    your crash is probably related to not USB devices but MSI afterburner + rivatuner the game hates that .. you need to exit out of it or re configure it to play nice with Far Cry 4
