    Far cry 4 black screen

    i seem to be stumped I previously had windows 7 and had the game working fine on that I get windows 10 and now I cant even run the game, ive tried changing my gpu settings, ive verified the files, ive tried compatibility modes, did all the other checks on the web that people were saying to try and to no avail, I just cant seem to get it to proceed past the black screen after the ubisoft fallout 4 launch screen.

    My computer specs are way above board so that is definitely not an issue, I have some computer tech knowledge but not enough to fix this problem so is there anyone out there able to help me

    what are your system Specs ? keep in mind dual core CPU's will black screen this game requires a quad core CPU as a minimum system requirement

    runs Perfect on Win 10 Pro here , all i did is set both Steam and Uplay to run as Administrator . no compatibility mode used

    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, ect < --- check your settings
    G. MSI True Color
    H. Evolve gameing client
    I. AMD Raptr \ AMD Gaming Evolved
    J. TeamVeiwer
    K. Overwolf
    L. Nvidia Geforce Experience Shadow Play


    see this thred to possibly fix problems with afterburner causing black screen

    Please ALSO see this Page where it mentions Backround Applications in section 4 and how you can try to see if one you have running is possibly causing your issue with the game NOT starting or hanging on launch
