Far Cry 4 won't start - it could be because of it

If you've just installed Far Cry 4, you're not alone if the game doesn't even start. We'll show you how to solve the problem.

Far Cry 4 does not start - an update helps

If you start Far Cry 4 and only a black screen appears, you are also affected by the widespread problem. These are mainly driver problems.
With the release of Far Cry 4, Ubisoft released the Day One Patch. Although this rarely solves the problem, you should still install it.
In the long term, the problem will probably only be resolved by another update. Patch 1.4 is intended to finally solve the problem.
Ubisoft is working - hopefully - on the new patch, but the expected update is not yet available. A release date is also unknown. (As of November 24th)

The USB devices on your computer are to blame for the black screen. Unplug any unnecessary USB device from your computer, including a Bluetooth transmitter. In most cases, the bug is bypassed.
The Logitech USB mice and USB keyboards in particular are said to cause the problems in Far Cry 4.
Since it is difficult to do without a mouse and keyboard on a PC, you can borrow a different device.

In a few cases, an update of the graphics card also helps. The latest version of the driver solves compatibility problems.
You can find detailed step-by-step instructions for updating the graphics card driver in this practical tip.
