I have a GeForce 1080Ti, Far Cry 4 worked fine last time I played it on this machine a few weeks ago and now doesn't. FC5 and New Dawn work fine. The Update screen displays, then the black FARCRY4 window and then it just dies. Absolutely no changes to this PC other than the GeForce Driver Version 430.86 update currently on it.
The windows error log says:

Please Sir do so .. this has been happening to many Steam users since the end of March when Ubi released a patch on Steam .. i think some one goofed on .. as that same day a patch for Far Cry New Dawn was released ..my far cry 4 game was not affected here .. but many other far cry 4 users reported a problem, where they report they MUST edit the reg files to fix ..Originally Posted by UbiGabrinth Go to original post
possibly a bad patch file got on some servers ?
i have that Steam fix bookmarked.... i may add it to the troubleshooting tips section i got pinned to the top of the forums over on steam ..tho i have had reports that some users can fix it by removing Uplay (delete all the left over folders ) ..and rebooting ..then reinstalling Uplay ..but alas it not been a fix for all users
Hard to believe this is still an issue in 2019.. 12 years after it was first reported.
