do you have any backround application open .. several may cause the game to fail to launch
it uses the same engine as FarCry 4 did and that had problems with several backround applications that would cause the game to fail on launch
again this is the list from FarCry 4 ..but you can use the same method located on that Far Cry 4 page of trying to use MS config to see if one is causing your problem ( i'll include how to do it in my post at the bottom )
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
K. Overwolf
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

Background Applications
You may also encounter problems due to applications running in the background on your computer system. When playing Ubisoft games, please be sure to close all running background applications before starting your game. You can find the steps for this listed below.
- Open your Start menu and look for Run (Win XP), Start search (Win Vista), or Search programs and files (Win 7).
- Delete anything on the Open line that you find there, type in MSCONFIG and press the Enter key to bring up the system configuration utility.
- Look down the list of startup items (not the tab labeled Startup), and choose Selective Startup if it is not already selected. If you don't see this, make sure you've clicked on General near the top of the window.
- Once you've chosen Selective Startup, uncheck "Load Startup Items".
- Once you're done, click Apply & OK, and let it reboot your computer.
- Once restarted, make sure that any application that affects your local network is disabled.
Try running the game again. If the game loads and seems to be working, the problem is most likely related to one or more programs you have scheduled to load with Windows.
Note: Keep in mind that this is a temporary solution, and any changes can be reverted by returning to the MSCONFIG utility and re-selecting "Normal Startup".
