The little advise

First start the game on default low specs and adit the video settings in-game. Enter to options, video settings tab, advanced an put this. It appears thet setting the lightning quality on very high will stop the game from even launching and well... shadow levels on more than that will probably cause the game run very slow. I hope this avise is useful to you. Best wishes and happy holidays!!

Empiezen el juego con las opciones por defecto, las bajas. Editen las opciones de video dentro del mismo juego en options, la pestaña de video y seleccionen advanced options. Al parecer poner la calidad de iluminación "lightning quality" en muy alto hace que el juego ni siquiera pueda correr. La calidad de sombras es ya recomendación mía porque, en mi caso, en más que eso empieza a correr lento. Espero les haya servido este consejito. ¡Felices fiestas!

ShadersPrecache = "0"
Put that into the system.cfg file and it should fix the loading problem.

Thank you I could not start the game and I was thinking it was video quality but I could not understand why.

Use SilentPatch instead. If I remember, it fixes the issue with the lighting quality without having to turn it to "high" with many others to keep up with modern hardware. https://cookieplmonster.github.io/mods/far-cry/
