    Black screen with sound

    After hours of fun with FC3 I decided to buy FC4. After installation (with some errors) I now get black screen with sound both for FC3 and FC4!

    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

    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.


    if you have a problem... try this


    right click on the games .exe file


    select properties


    select the compatability tab


    check the box that says run as Administrator


    set it to run in a windows 7 compatabilty mode


    you can also run the windows 10 compatablilty trouble shooter from that same window
