    Far Cry 4 Random Crash to Desktop

    So I recently bought Far Cry 4 on Steam. Initially the game didn't want to play at all, crashing immediately after the first cut scene. I deleted FC64.dll, verified cache, and then it worked from there. Since then, I've been playing, and I get random Crash to Desktop (CTD) events. There is no rhyme or reason as to why or when it crashes. I might be on a mission, just wandering around, in a gun fight, driving around, anything, and it will crash. I may go hours (last night I played for 3 or 4 hours with no issue), today I can't play more than a half hour. Restarting my computer makes no change that I can tell. When the game crashes, I get a error stating FC64.dll had crashed. Getting pretty tired of not being able to play this game. Below are my specs. Anyone have any ideas?

    The video card is on the lower end of the system requirements as you will want to try checking for driver updates. You may also want to review the full system requirements here. Note that the minimum required processor is listed as "2.6 GHz Intel Core i5-750 or 3.2 GHz AMD Phenom II X4 955". Try verifying the game files before launching to see if it helps with this error. Be sure that you reach out with your local Support team with your full dxdiag and msinfo so they can properly assist you in diagnosing the issue. You can do so here.
