    "Fatal Error" File System Failure: Aborting execution

    Hey everyone,

    I just returned home from deployment where I was able to play FC4 offline. It would work fine until steam wouldn't let me play it anymore because i had been offline for longer than 30 days (failed to contact key server). Anyways, I now have internet so i have been updating all of my games, although, i dont think i have been able to update FC4. Even though i havent updated it since i have returned, I am getting this "fatal error" right before the campaign finishes loading everytime.

    Help would be apprecitated. Thanks

    Specs:

    4th gen i7-4710MQ 2.5 ghz
    Nvidia GTX 970m 6gb
    8gb DDR3

    most likely it could be a background app your running on your system

    this game hates backround applications

    also there was a problem with recent Nvidia Drivers that could cause the game to fail to load if you have Nvidia geforce experience and shadow play enabled //dis able Shadow play if you have it installed

    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


    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.


    fatal system error can also come from not having a 64 bit OS installed so check that as well (the game does not support 32 bit operating systems )
    also Verify your game files why running steam as an Admin ..it could be a corrupted file on your game install

    and make sure you install the updated version of the uplay client ..you can get it here https://uplay.ubi.com/

    any and all of youyr game updates shpuld come from Steam if thats where you bought your copy of FarCry 4

    also try disabling the Uplay in game overlay helps for some users ..same with the Steam one .. i keep the steam overlay off and only have the Uplay one enabled so i can use the frame rate counter


    If you continue to have issues PLEASE see the troubleshooting tips section here http://steamcommunity.com/app/298110...6486417358966/

    you may also run into an issue if you bought your game why overseas you may be region locked .. for that contact Ubi support Directly ..they may be able to help

    as i do think Steam does set a region lock on some titles .. i dunno about Uplay ..

    and .. thank you for your service if your in the Armed Services ..and i hope you find your fix !
