Far Cry 4 Disable Windows Firewall and Windows Defender.

[WackyPowerThuG]

Ok So for anyone having issues with Far Cry 4 try disabling both the windows firewall and windows defender before running it again. This appears to have solved my crash problem.

The reason I had an idea that this would work is because I read a post on ubisoft's forums and someone did suggested this as a fix. It worked for me.

I just need to test it again once windows defender and firewall are back on.

Gotta love a suggestion to disable the first and second line of protection a system have in order to get a game running...

If that solved your issues then the devs havent made a proper product - plain and simple.

Then again this is an UBI software title - A company that see it more fit to spend resources on adding a resourcehogging DRM in the last Anno 2205 patch rather than fix the games memoryleak that causes performance to pummel after an couple of hrs or soo.

How the resource draining bugs alog with added hardware resource wasting in the form of a drm should equal a happy customer is so far beyond me and most likely everyone else beside the greedy execs who thinks its fair to piss in the faces of the paying customers and offer even less performance in a game already paid for!

I have tried and I can no longer be bothered with ubisoft support. As for my suggestion Rantoc doing this once whilst running the game seems to fix whatever is causing this. You can enable both your firewall and defender after it is done.

I will just avoid purchasing ubisoft products on pc in future.

After testing the game for several hours I can confirm this fixed the error. I think that the firewall prevented some kind of verification as to the games legitimacy. That's why it was giving me an error as shown here in event viewer.

After what I suggested I turned them back on both firewall and defender. It plays just fine without a problem now.
