Far cry new dawn no monitor input

A frustrating issue!

If you're experiencing no monitor input while playing Far Cry: New Dawn, here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the problem:

  1. Check your graphics settings: Ensure that your graphics settings are set to output to the correct monitor. You can do this by:
    • Pressing the Windows key + P to open the Projector window.
    • Selecting the "Duplicate" or "Extend" option to mirror or extend your desktop to the other monitor.
    • Adjusting the graphics settings in the game's options menu to ensure they're set to output to the correct monitor.
  2. Verify your monitor connections: Double-check that your monitor is properly connected to your computer:
    • Ensure that the monitor is plugged into the correct HDMI port (if using HDMI).
    • Try swapping the HDMI cable with a different one to rule out any issues with the cable.
    • If using a DisplayPort, ensure it's securely connected to the correct port.
  3. Update your graphics drivers: Outdated graphics drivers can cause issues with monitor input. Update your graphics drivers to the latest version:
    • Go to the manufacturer's website (e.g., NVIDIA or AMD) and download the latest drivers.
    • Follow the installation instructions to update your drivers.
  4. Disable and re-enable your graphics card: Sometimes, disabling and re-enabling your graphics card can resolve the issue:
    • Press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
    • Expand the "Display Adapters" section.
    • Right-click on your graphics card and select "Disable device".
    • Wait for 10 seconds and then enable the device again.
  5. Check for conflicts with other programs: Other programs running in the background might be interfering with your monitor input. Try closing any unnecessary programs or background applications:
    • Press the Windows key + Tab to open the Task View.
    • Close any unnecessary programs or background applications.
  6. Reset your graphics settings: If none of the above steps work, try resetting your graphics settings to their default values:
    • Go to the game's options menu and select "Graphics".
    • Click on the "Reset" button to reset your graphics settings to their default values.
  7. Reinstall the game: If all else fails, try reinstalling the game:
    • Uninstall the game from your computer.
    • Reinstall the game from the original installation media or from the Epic Games store.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to reach out to the game's support team or a professional for further assistance.
