also check to make sure its not an issue with a backround app causing a problem as well as see this page

I really want to sort that issue out for you, reports about Far Cry 4 not starting up are driving me nuts! It should be fixable.
Have you tried:
- Verifying files in Steam/Uplay?
- Renaming the "Documents\My Games\Far Cry 4" folder to force the game to reset its game settings?
- Changing the game language (causing Uplay/Steam to download additional files), then Verifying files again?
- Running the redist setup files (DirectX, VCRedist, DotNet) from the game folder's `Support\Software` subfolder?
- Creating a new Windows user profile & playing the game from there? If it works, it's registry or My Documents related.
If so, and nothing helped:
- Is there any useful information in the Uplay log files? You can find them in e.g. the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\logs" folder.
- Is there any useful information in the Windows Event Log? See https://www.howtogeek.com/123646/htg...ou-can-use-it/ for instructions.
I spent the last 4 days trying to fix this problem on my Alienware Aurora R5 with Nvidia GTX 1080. Finally I figured it out and it was simple to fix. Go to Nvidia Control Panel. Under Manage 3D Settings, pick power management mode and set it to "prefer maximum performance."
Yea this is dumb and I have done so much to try to get it to work and I shouldn't have to remove dll files or regedit out stuff or reinstall the game 2 times and uplay or steam. when far cry 5 and new dawn works just fine.
I think ubisoft need to take down the pc far cry 4 sales or tell them you have less than 1% of it working.
I played this long ago for it says 14 hours.
this is whats in the game_starter_log.

Everytime I try to start the game it adds a line.
Here's what I see on my end. seems just about everyone too.
