Purchased Far Cry 4 off Steam, got it downloaded and installed. Made a Uplay account and launch the game. Than about 30 sec after launching it crashes and a window pops up says Far Cry 4 stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem. than i get 2 options; Check online for a solution and close the program or, just Close the program. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Running Windows 7 64bit, PC specs in sig.

Don't bother with "Check online for solution" as it literally always says that message.

 

Try verifying your files in UPlay because sometimes installations can go wrong.

So i should just uninstall than re-install it?

No verify your files.

 

P.S verify it through steam, I thought you only had it on uplay.

Sometimes MSI Afterburner can mess with clock speeds but I don't see how that effects launching a game...
