    Error code when starting the game

    Hello, I tget following error code when starting the game:

    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click ok to close the application.

    I tried a lot to fix this: Updated latest direct x, framework and already got 2013 c++, or what it is called....

    I tried to run it in admin mode, even changed the compatibility to windows vista, althou i am running on win 7.

    What could it be?

    Cheers

    Hey,

    thanks!

    Actually i figured that out, but now i still encountered another problem: My screen turns black and the game does not start. I read that others have the same problem, although they installed patch 1.4...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Press the start button type in Far cry 4 among other things there will be folder called fcc08ad9-29af-4674-a09e-1a2dba8e533f or something similar. open it, you will see GamerProfile.xml make a copy of it as back up and then right click on that and edit. Press CTR+F type in fullscreen enter
    It will find the "Fullscreen="1" change 1 to 0. Next to it is Broderless="0" change 0 to 1
    Also change
    DisableLoadingMip0 to 1
    MouseAcceleration to 0
    MouseAccelerationOn to 0
    UseMouseSmooth to 0
    Smoothness_Ironsight to 0
    change the GPUMaxBufferedFrames to 1 and Smoothness to 0 in GamerProfile.xml as well.
    Try changing the gpu max buffered frames in your Nvidia Control Panel to 3/4 as well.

    Save it
    Try to run the game.
