Far Cry 4 Disc Install Issue
I'm still having issues installing the game off the disc. I have more than enough space and the disc isn't scratched but it keeps getting stuck at 63%. Any advice on how to get this to work? Really want to play the game.

If you have registered your game with Uplay, you can download the game and all updates through your Uplay desktop console. It takes a while, but if you cannot install with the disks, like me, download that way.

Why does Far Cry 4 take so long to install?
Downloaded and installed it in about 45 minutes. Installing from disc can be slow due to the speed of HDD, Disc Drive, and other factors. It can also be caused by bad programming lol. I guess just be patient and hope the game runs well when it is done.Why does my disc keep saying installation stopped?
The most common cause for installation stopped Xbox One is that your console is trying to download an update for the game while the game is installing. Another common cause is that the game files you saved locally get corrupted.Why is my game not installing?
One common fix is to clear data and cache for the Play Store and Download Manager apps. You can access these app settings through the Settings Menu on your device, and then Apps or App Manager. For each app, tap Clear Cache and Clear Data. Once you've done this, restart your device and try downloading the game again.What to do if a game is stuck on installing?

Answer 2
Here is a post I found on GameFAQ of someone who had the exact same issue.
They were able to get it to work with the following steps:
- Go to Settings > Network> Uncheck the 'Connect to Internet' box.
- Install disk completely.
(note that in can still take a while, still several hours rather than possibly over a day long...) - Turn your network settings back on.
- Delete the patch if it starts to auto-download when the disk is inserted.
(via the Notifications > Downloads menu) - Re-prompt updates by using the "Check for Updates" option on the Far Cry 4 game icon.
From what I've read online, it looks like it just tends to take an atrociously long amount of time. Hopefully those steps help a bit, but you might still have to muscle through quite a long install. (IF you decide to restart for any reason(s), it might be a good thing to make sure you don't have any residual FC4 files on your system before restarting)

I had the same problem. I was able to solve it by lowering the air temperature in the room by about 10°C and placing the console on a cold marble plate to cool it.
You should also try placing the PlayStation 3 on the other side; for example, I always place it vertically, so I placed it down horizontally.
