    Crashes during launch.

    Whenever I try to launch up far cry, the game always gives me an error message that It has stopped responding but I never even reached the main menu.
    Mc Pc specs are:
    Intel core i5 6600k OC to 4.1GHz
    Gtx 970
    Msi z170a gaming pro motherboard
    8gb DDR4 2888mhz ram
    Windows 10 64but

    I have updated all my drivers before launching the game and there is still the same error message.

    have any software loading in the backround?? FarCry 4 hates some . (i'll get to that in a sec)

    but there is also a problem with Recent Nvidia drivers try disabling Nvidia Shadow play or install older drivers

    see my post here about that problem http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...drivers-bugged

    the 362.00 drivers even in the release notes say there are no Fixed issues

    as far As the problems with Backround apps

    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
    https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/9/...0000000eio0CAA

    also try this

    right click and select properties on your FarCry 4 .exe file in the games bin folder

    you can set a compatibility mode for windows 7 if your using windows 10


    you can also set the games .exe to run as administrator there too


    you can also run the windows 10 compatibility mode troubleshooter from that same window.
