    Only Splash Screen... Game dont start

    Hi there... I tried a lot to get this game running.

    When I try to start the game, I get the splash Screen and nothing more happen.
    No error message or anything else...


    I run as Admin, verified the files etc.

    So what the hell is going on with this game? Could need some help...

    This is all I see:

    If it's any consolation, you're not alone.

    This is all I see:

    I'm running a dual Xeon, 256GB of ram, dual Titan X in SLI.

    I've updated to latest NVidia drivers, tried turning off the firewall, tried uninstalling and reinstalling UPlay, tried running as admin... Nothing.

    when you installed your video driver did you install Geforce experience ?

    if so check the settings for Nvidia shadow play ..try shutting it totally off and disable any shadow play sharing

    see my post here http://steamcommunity.com/app/298110...7699617665929/

    also try shutting off any and all backround applications before you launch the game
    FarCry 4 had problems with several , so its safe to assume that this game that uses the same engine might not play nice with them

    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 - check settings)
    G. MSI true Color
    H. Evolve gameing client
    I. AMD Raptr \ AMD Gaming Evolved
    J. TeamVeiwer
    K. Overwolf
    see this thred to possibly fix issies with afterburner causeing 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 causeing your issiue with the game NOT starting or hanging

    it launches fine on my Strix GTX 960 ..but i still have the December driver version 359.06 (last driver version ASUS posted for my card)
    installed ....and i never install geforce experience

    solution

    here is solution:

    If you use Uplay (and not steam version), open Far Cry Primal/bin folder and delete all 3 files that have "steam" in their name. Then try to run the game again.

    If you are unsure which files exactly to delete, simply delete all files inside "bin" folder and then run "Verify files" in Uplay. Proper files will then be automatically downloaded.

    PS ubisoft help so useless
