[Umbra]

File system failure: Aborting execution.

"C:\Users\XXXXXX\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 4\79ff8113-09e9-47a8-9c0c-ea84875e7a7b\OfflineServiceData.bin"

After combating freezes for a week

Then even more load screen freezes

Then load hang

Then connection issues with my brother of whom i bought the game to play with

Now this error is poping everytime i reach the title screen

If anyone has encountered this and gotten around it please let me know. I just got this computer for free from a friend. I don't know much but i'm learning as fast as i can.

Heres my stuff, i saw people dealing with idiots who wouldnt post it. Gave me a laugh lol

Any advice is appreciated, as in to solve my problem. Any shots at my post or my specs then .!..

I suppose i should also mention i have done the following

Verified my files on Steam

Reinstalled the game

Rebooted PC

Scouring the internet

Drop kicked my computer

try limiting the programs you have loading on start up and disconnect your game pad

go to your task bar and exit out of all apps before you launch the game

only thing i have there is geforce EXP i exit that before i play most of the time its pretty useless software IMO

only thing i have loaded in the backround are
Steam and Uplay and Avast Antivirus

the nvidia driver your useing is old and predates the windows 10 release

as is your GPU and a GTX 560 is about the same as a good GTX460 they are damn similar so lower your graphics settings and dont try running the game with ultra textures and settings your card cant handle it most likely

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-460/specifications

its not like you have a GTX 760 or 960 in there after all ..your card is several generations old

i have been running the game here on win 10 64 Pro 64 bit with no issiues on an asus strix gtx 960 with the current drivers 355.60
i did not use Geforce Exp to optimize my game

also do not use any of the nvidia game works settings .. they will crash the game 9 times out of ten !!
they got broken in any driver past win 7 344 drivers for many people

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/799274/geforce-drivers/nvlddmkm-keep-crashing-in-far-cry-4/

these include HBAO+ (NVIDIA Ambient Occlusion), Enhanced Godrays (NVIDIA Godrays), Soft Shadows (NVIDIA PCSS), Simulated Fur (NVIDIA Hairworks) and TXAA (NVIDIA Anti-Aliasing).

[-=SOF=-WID99]

also make sure you are running BOTH STEAM and UPLAY as RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

it seems that helps many to run the game under Windows 10

Thank you sir

I did notice that the Nvidia optimum settings crash the game.

Ive been running on medium settings at decent FPS seemingly ok

I've monitored the system while running the game with afterburner and an onboard temp gauge on the rig

I'll update my drivers and such immediately.

I'll be updating to probably the GTX 950 tomorrow when it supposedly releases

Thank you so much for you're pointers. I will try all of this and if something works i will get back to you and the thread for others.

[Umbra]

I will say this tho

I played this game for 2 hrs this morning without an issue.

I've played it for about 40 hrs otherwise. It DID work at alot of points.

But for this error i have found no workaround.

Again, thank you

[-=SOF=-WID99]

yea its probably just the admin setting

right click your steam .exe and select run as administrator

then verify your game files for best results.... do the same with your u play.exe

also on the GTX 950 ? id wait till ya got enough for the Asus Strix GTX 960 its a smaller card plus still only requires one 6 pin power connector and come with a nice stock overclock as well as a backplate and a nice cooler
https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics_Cards/STRIXGTX960DC2OC2GD5/

i'm damn happy with the way my Asus Strix GTX 960 performs and i'm running it @ stock speed (slight facory overclock) 1228 with a boost clock of 1291 mhz

(standard GTX 960 core speed is 1126)
http://pclinks.xtreemhost.com/video.htm

but the asus software will auto clock it up if i select game mode with the asus GPU tweak II tool the card comes with
then the boost clock speed is 1337 with the memory running @ 7200 with a lil room to go higher

and the fans will auto shut off when not needed so it runs real quiet when not gameing

so its worth the extra 50 bucks over the GTX 950 from what i have been reading .. that card should release this week http://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-gtx-950-images-and-specs-leak/

[Umbra]

Oh snap, I may just go with the 960 then.

Honestly my budget is high enough, i just also want to get a new processor and a new motherboard in this thing soon too.

I may just go with a 980 sc stock and just wait a month or so then get a higher end i5.

Any other suggestions? i'm like a spounge for this stuff atm lol.

Also i updated driver and verified my files through steam only, still not working.

I will keep trying though, still more things to run through

[-=SOF=-WID99]

id contact ubisoft support then if it is still throwing that error

you said your running Afterburner ? umm that program can make the game fail to launch .. until you configure it in some cases

Well, i fixed it

Reinstalling it alone didnt seem to do this, but i found the folder of which that file was in. I deleted that entire folder, emptied it out of my recycling bin.

Then i uninstalled the game manually, then reinstalled through uplay. And now its working.

I ran uplay as admin also, same with steam.

Thank you homie. No more Afterburner

Also i've decided to go with this card tomorrow.

If you think there is something better in this price range, school me. I'm the newb here lol

I've seen you all over the msg boards so i know that you know what you're talking about.

NAA A 980 should FINE .. and a nice bump UP from a GTX 560
http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-980-vs-GeForce-GTX-560-Ti

i wanted to go with one but i'm still useing a 7 yr old motherboard and CPU (asus P5 B with 8 gig of DDR2 / 800 and an Intel Core 2 quad Q6600 @ 2.4 ghz)

so it would bottleneck a 970 or 980 i'm sure and i could not justify the expense

for now the GTX 960 is fine for me as i dont plan on gameing in 4 k
1080 P is fine for me on my 40 inch HDTV with what i have
and this old Intel Q6600 has performed like a tank for many years and i have not even needed to overclock it yet .. i can pick up a Q9550 for $50 or Q9650 if i need to and pop it in this old Asus P5B
or just build a new system with an I 5 down the road

waiting to see what AMD does with the Fury Nano till i decide my next build

anyway glad you found your fix and good luck with the GTX 980

Been reading your guys comments. I too have this problem and im about to do what he said recycle bin all old files and redownload the entire game.....lets see

[Umbra]
