make sure you install the updated version of Uplay
you can download it here https://uplay.ubi.com/
the version that Steam installs and the one that shipped with the game is over a year old , and yes Ubisoft has updated their client many times since then .
if you still have problems connecting you may have a firewall or router problem with blocked ports , check your antivirus settings as well,as some antivirus programs may be blocking access (like AVG or Bullguard )
see this page to correct it https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/9/...0000000eio0CAA
you may also want to make sure you have no backround applications running as that page suggests and also try flushing your DNS as well as reset your Windows Hosts file , also suggested on that page
and make sure your PC meets the minimum system requirements for the game, as well as Verify your game files

To verify your files if you bought the game thru Steam ..\EXIT Steam ..right click your steam icon ..select run as Administrator
launch 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
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
Again its probably best to make sure you launch Uplay as RUN as Administrator when you do a file verify

see the bottom of the page
if you are running Microsoft Windows 10 you will also probably want to launch both Steam as well as Uplay as Run As Administrator , this change may be needed on some systems as the save files are stored in a program files location , if the game does not have Admin access it can not write the auto-saves
Windows 10 is NOT a fully supported operating system for the game , as the game was created months before Windows 10 even was in development , it runs perfect here on my Desktop with windows 10 Pro 64 bit as well as on my laptop that has windows 10 home edition 64 bit , 32 bit operating systems are not supported
