what troubleshooting steps have you tried :

do you have a 64 bit operating system installed >?
did you install the updated version of UBI connect from the ubi web site and log in to your account yet > yes the game may install an out dated version of the ubi launcher on steam

,make sure you run both STEAM and ubi connect with administrator rights enabled

the game will need that to write the configuration files as well as the save files as the game will install into a windows program file location some av software including windows firewall may block that

what hardware are you trying to run the game on a desk top or laptop ?

what GPU what CPU ?
have you tried to verify your game install yet >?

Common Far Cry file related problems:

• Make sure the game/editor can write any game settings, shader cache and user maps to your profile's Documents folder (i.e. %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Far Cry X).
  
  
• Make sure the game can write the savegames to Ubisoft Connect's savegame folder (i.e. "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames").
  
  
• In Windows Threat Protection[steve.farcry.eu], exclude Far Cry from your Protected Folders so it can write to that folder.
  
  
  
• Try renaming your Windows User's %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Far Cry X\GamerProfile.xml file to reset the game's graphics settings. This may also fix the "Unknown File Readfile()"-error on startup.
  
  
• Try renaming your Windows User's %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Far Cry X folder entirely, to force the game to reset its game settings. Note that this will also misplace any Custom Maps (cache and your own user maps) you have stored locally.
  
  
• Try creating a new Windows user profile & playing the game from there. If that works, the issue you're having is linked to your Windows User's Registry or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Far Cry X settings.
