    File system failure: aborting execution and another issue...

    Guys, I have a lot of issues with Ubi games, excuse me for my bad english, but I will try to explain all the issues:

    1st (the MOST IMPORTANT): All the Ubisoft games have a problem that when I save a graphical configuration and I restart the game, it still executing in 2K resolution and with another graphical setup... This is very annoying because it messes my desktop and because I need to set it up again...

    2nd: When I load Far Cry 4, appears a message error: File system failure: Aborting execution so I can't play...

    I'm very angry because the support doesn't answer me since a month ago, so I can't play any Far Cry...

    I have played FC4 before, and I have the recommended specs (better) and a 64bit system, this error started to appear suddenly. I don't know why, but that is not the reason...

    well verify your game files then ...

    To verify your files if you bought the game thru Steam ..\EXIT Steam ..right click your steam icon ..select run as Administrator


    to launch Steam


    then 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


    https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/60...0000000ee85CAA
    see the bottom of the page


    also shut off all backround applications before you launch the game

    BACKROUND APPLICATIONS may also cause the game to not launch properly and you may need Exit out of them, or reconfigure them to work properly with Far Cry 4 known apps that can cause this are


    A. EVGA PRECISION


    B. MSI AFTERBURNER


    C. Riva Tuner Statistics Server


    D. DXtory


    E. Motionin Joy


    F. Anti Virus or Firewall software (AVG , Comodo, Bullguard etc.. <-- check settings)


    G. MSI true Color


    H. Evolve gameing client


    I. AMD Raptr \ AMD Gaming Evolved


    J. TeamViewer


    see this thred to possibly fix issues with afterburner causing black screen
    http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...rcry-4-Crash!?


    Please see this Page where it mentions Backround Applications and how you can try to see if one is possibly causing your issue with the game NOT starting or hanging
    https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/9/...0000000eio0CAA

    And if your running windows 10 make sure you launch both Steam and Uplay as Run As ADMINISTRATOR


    this game was shipped well before windows 10 did ...and yes you may need to take that extra step to run the game
    this games engine was created years before windows 10 shipped and that change may needed to allow the game to write any save files and or configuration files , windows 10 may handle file security \ permissions in a different way, then previous operating systems did.


    If you continue to have issues PLEASE see the troubleshooting tips section here http://steamcommunity.com/app/298110...6486417358966/
    or open a support ticket with Ubisoft Support at https://support.ubi.com by clicking on My Questions in the upper left corner of that page.


    You can also call them on the phone during regular support hours <--(BEST OPTION)
    You can find phone number information here: https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/60...0000000eiChCAI


    You can also try to contact them via social media.

    Perhaps do an SFC scan on 7 and see if you got corrupted OS files - there is something wrong with your box ..
    In case you overclock too ... a cleanwipe might be the quickest way out of that mess.
