Ubisoft today released the promised 1.4 patch for the PC version of Far Cry 4. According to its changelog, this patch fixes the “black screen” issue caused by certain USB peripherals, as well.
There’s been a delay in getting this latest patch out the door much to the dismay of victims.
Some Far Cry 4 players are experiencing problems with a back screen due to external USB devices being connected. The plan was to release a 1.4.0 patch on Friday but UbiSoft has now delayed the patch, so anyone hoping for a weekend fix is sadly out of luck.
Update 24 November: The 1.4.0 patch has now been released.
In an update to a post by Ubisoft, which was tagged onto a previous Steam post, they now say that the patch will not be released until early next week and no exact day has been specified.

The workaround for this problem is to disable USB devices and “certain drivers” according to UbiSoft. Unfortunately this doesn’t appear to fix the problem for some players so this 1.4.0 update can’t come soon enough. A release update for this next patch, which will include additional fixes, is unlikely to appear before Monday now.
While Far Cry 4 has not suffered from nearly as many problems as Assassin’s Creed: Unity, this black screen problem appears to have affected quite a few players.

Update – The patch is now available.
The “red screen” issue, meanwhile, is intentional.
Far Cry 4 Black Screen Fix
The previously delayed PC patch 1.4.0 for Far Cry 4 has now been released, and should roll out across uPlay and Steam throughout the day. Ubisoft announced the release of the patch on their forums. Oddly, it isn’t on their “live updates” blog for Far Cry 4 at the time of writing.
This patch claims to fix a couple of issues PC players have run into, namely the black screen and grey screen phenomena.
Here’s Ubisoft’s patch notes:
- Fixed the “black screen” issue PC players were experiencing when certain USB peripherals were plugged in.
- Fixed the “grey screen” issue some PC players were may have encountered after the Outpost Master Mission.
Yep, just those two things.
This being Ubisoft, the patch release doesn’t seem to have gone entirely according to plan. Some players have reported that their copy of Far Cry 4 downloaded the patch, but then reverted back to version 1.3.0. According to the forums (again,) Ubisoft is “looking into Uplay “reverting” the Patch to 1.3.0.”
Meanwhile, a Reddit user is reporting that after updating their version of Far Cry 4 to 1.4.0, they no longer have any sound in the game. That doesn’t seem to be widespread though.
