Hello Fellow Far Cryers I was pleased to get this game on release as I preordered it from Game Uk and installed it via my DVD drive as per usual all codes worked and also got the DLC code and it installed ok took quite a long time to complete but great all done.
Pressed Play and the game launcher got as far as the Far cry logo then BSOD (Black screen of death ).
So came to this very corner of the forums and tried the verify files solution ,this went ok and any updates if any were installed end result no probs found verified
Tried again same result ok what next a ha it was my USB Joystick plugged into my USB port unplugged same result game failed to start logo etc.
Then I unplugged my external DVD drive, and disabled my Vitual DVD drive and for good measure rebooted .Don't have a permanent DVD drive in my system case.
Tried Watchdogs, that worked so it wasn't UPlay at fault.
After unplugging the external DVD drive tried Far Cry again this time Game launched result Happy gamer
Hope this helps,
Hey guys, had the same problem.
After starting the game, just a black window pops up and the game hangs.
This seems to be a USB device problem, because when I unplugged all USB devices except my mouse (Keyboard, USB headset, Razer Orbweaver) it worked.
Then I tried plugging them in one by one and unless I plugged in the Orbweaver, the game kept on starting.
After that I went to the Devices&Printers settings in Windows, and found a HID compliant game controller, that was installed alongside my Orbweaver, removed the device and now the game starts perfect, even with the Orbweaver running.
Hope that helps some of you resolving the issue.
