We are pleased to say that we have been able to remedy the issue (identified in our Known Issues list yesterday) which caused some PC versions of Far Cry 4 to go directly to a black screen due to the presence of external USB devices. I have been monitoring the ubi support forum, and people have just started posting the following emails as having been received from Ubi in response to tickets for this issue: Many people have been able to work around this by unplugging/disabling certain USB devices, but some cannot get it to launch no matter what. If you are like me you are in the unfortunate position of being unable to launch FC4 on PC at all, due to a hanging black fullscreen window after the splashscreen. Oh, and the regular Ubi forums have been 'down for maintenance' for about 3 hours now. Please stay tuned to the Live Update Thread, and please log in and voice your concerns if you are having the same issue it probably won't get a fix out any sooner, but enough negative attention might convince Ubi to improve the service for future release, and may expediate confirmation or otherwise that this email is accurate.
