Have you attempted the fix that dual-core gamers used to make Far Cry 4 think they had 4 cores as it prefers? (https://cpucorefaker.codeplex.com/)
Also, when you set processor affinity did you specify the first 4 cores? Are you setting affinity in Task Manager after it starts or starting it with affinity set (start /affinity 15 farcry4.exe (where 15 is the decimal representation of cores 0-3 in binary 00001111B))?

Whoops it's hexadecimal, not decimal, so you would've prepended the shortcut target to something like C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C START /affinity F “C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Far Cry 4\bin\FarCry4.exe” -skipintro

Sounds kinda strange if the game fails on multiple CPUs instead of just not being able to take advantage of multiple CPUs.
