    Far Cry 5 Crashing on launch

    I picked up a PC copy of this game to play because I have just built a gaming PC, and I leant my PS4 copy to a friend, and I really wanted to play. So I got a copy of the game, installed it and I can't even get to the main menu. I click play, It goes through the "Synchronising your save games to the cloud" thing, launches to a small window that has the game logo in it. That closes as though the game were about to launch and then it just doesn't launch. I have tried every fix I could find on the internet to no avail. My specs are:
    Intel 15 3570K 3.40GHz
    8GB RAM
    64 bit processor
    GeForce 1050 Ti

    Edit: Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you have a Steam or Uplay only version?

    Have you tried to "verify files"? Other things to try....
    Download the newest version of Uplay and install
    Make sure FC5 and Uplay are set to run as Administrator

    I have verified files, I've redownloaded uplay about 30 times now. I'll try running as admin. Thank you very much

    A good idea once you've done all that is to do a cold boot before you try to run FC5

    No luck. It's still not launching. I've sent about 15 crash reports now and heard nothing.
