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...
that error usually indicates you have a 32 bit operating system
FarCry 4 requires a 64 bit version of Windows .. it will not run in a 32 bit version of Windows , you will have to upgrade to a 64 bit version of Windows 7 with service pak 1 installed or
Windows 8 / 8.1 or a 64 bit version of Windows 10

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...Originally Posted by WID992007 Go to original post
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

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

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.
