    Far Cry 4 Black Creen on Startup?

    This is getting annoying I haven't been able to play because when i start the game it does the far cry 4 logo but then it goes to a black screen and a message will pop up saying Far cry 4 is no longer responding. Please help, I've tried everything that I know of.
