    Far Cry 4 has stopped working

    Sometime between 10.30 UK time on 20th January and about 1700 the same day, Far Cry 4 has stopped working. At all.

    Uplay launches, but the load screen doesn't appear. If I click the 'Play' button the 'Looking for Update' window appears for a fraction of a second, but nothing else happens. I've changed nothing about my computer and I haven't touched the game settings.

    What's going on? Has Ubisoft downloaded & installed another faulty patch? Or are the servers down? I've changed nothing and my working (albeit glitchy as hell) game is not working any more. Help!

    Well, I got it working again, though I'm not 100% sure how. I used dependency walker to trace the dependency path of FarCry4.exe and it identified a bunch of DLLs that it reckoned there were errors in. I replaced some of them with clean copies from DLL-Files.com. The one that I think made the difference was msvcp100.dll (in Windows 7, put it in windows/system32). But as I say, I can't be 100% that was the one causing the error.
