    and thats all your gonna see is a black screen

    your PC is too far below the minimum system requirements for the game to launch

    #1 you have a celeron CPU - they are not supported by FarCry 4

    its a single core hyper-threaded CPU http://ark.intel.com/products/74390/...Cache-2_00-GHz

    # of Cores 1
    # of Threads 2

    Minimum supported Intel CPU is a QUAD CORE
    http://ark.intel.com/products/42915/...Cache-2_66-GHz
    # of Cores 4 = Physical processors
    # of Threads 4 = Logical processors


    Minimum supported AMD CPU is a QUAD CORE
    http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AM...5FBGMBOX).html
    The number of cores 4 = Physical processors
    The number of threads 4 = Logical processors

    next up your Graphics card is also below the minimum system requirements
    FarCry 4 requires a Direct X 11 GPU your card is a direct X 10 GPU it does not support Pixel and shader model 5.0
    it only supports Pixex and vertex shader model 4.1 = its a direct X 10 CHIP Set
    see http://www.nvidia.in/object/product_geforce_210_in.html

    Full Microsoft® DirectX® 10.1 Support

    DirectX 10.1 GPU with full Shader Model 4.1 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects.

    the minimum supported Direct X 11 nvidia card is a GTX 460 with 1 gig of Vram

    so sorry but to play FarCry 4 your gonna have to upgrade both your CPU as well as your graphics card to meet the FarCry 4 minimum system requirements

    Does your PC fully meet the minimum system requirements for the title ?


    Dual Core cpu's are not supported ..yes you need a quad core cpu


    see http://www.pcper.com/news/Processors...scape-Shifting


    and http://wccftech.com/death-gaming-dual-core/


    you also need a video card better then an Nvidia GTX 460 or AMD HD5850 with at least 1 gig of dedicated Video Ram
    *Note Direct X 10 class video cards will not work *


    and a 64 bit operating system as well as at least 4 gig of system ram


    you should have read the system requirements on the store page before you bought the game
    you should never buy or install software if your PC does not meet the minimum system requirements
