Well, I uninstalled the game, re-downloaded and installed to pure vanilla. Version number at the top right sayt 1.1.5
Downloadable eu 1.2 patch (filename: silent_hunter_5_1.02_eu.exe downloaded from ubi directly) refuses to install, giving me the error "the patch cannot be installed with the current game version".
If I use the gu.exe updater found in support/GameUpdater, it will detect and download a patch, apply it (progress bar in the install wizard fills and it shows things being installed), and then immediately crash once I click Finish. When I run the game, it still says 1.1.5 and nothing from 1.2 is present. Every attempt to run the gu.exe after this results in an immediate "silent hunter V has stopped working" crash.

I'm strongly considering attemp[ting to get a refund: post 1.2 is horribly broken, and all fixes seem to be 1.2-exclusive.

Do any of you have reaper's stadimeter original stadimeter fix? I cant use the current version because the patch system for this game is fubar.

EDIT: tried the collectors edition 1.2 patch exe. Installed, to completion, no crash on finish. Version number IS STILL 1.1.5 And now the patch installer is saying the versionis currently at 1.2, yet is isnt, since the top right number doesnt match, and None of the 1.2 features are present in-game.

EDIT 2: problem solved. Impulse installes to directory c:/program files/ubisoft/silent hunter 5, Patch.exe/gu.exe installs the patch to c:/ubisoft. Moved directory and it works at 1.2.0
