Come back to play a bit later and foolishly thought "Oh I'll install TDW's patcher seen as its working with Steam anyway". Obviously a mistake. Once I patched it with this I got a CTD at 19:00 hrs on Sept 1 1939. I figured my mistake was using the patcher with the steam game. So I look around, find this thread and your instructions here. I did what you asked to the letter and got the game fired up - launched from the new copy in my directory (right click launch as administrator). Steam doesn't load up so I know I'm doing it right. I click "continue campaign". It doesn't load. Get a CTD as soon as the loading screen finishes and the black screen comes on just before you get loaded into the game. I will try single missions and report back. Failing that, will re-install TWOS again from scratch. Edit; Ok - so tried a single mission. That too crashed as soon as it loaded. I will uninstall my TWOS mods and load the stock patched 1.2 game now. Further Edit; Uninstalled all mods. Still crashed. Now I think it may be that the sh5.exe I patched originally was the Steam version - I'll do the patcher process again but this time use the directory as the desktop where I've got the sh5.patched.exe saved (after downloading it from the cabinet file viewer). Further edit still; So uninstalled all mods - patched. CTD on loading a saved game or starting a new one. Installed mod then patched game. Same result. Seems like I've broken my game now.... Full uninstall and re-install is on the cards. Edit (again). Ok so I'm re-installing from Steam. This will take a while so I'm going to go to sleep as it's nearly 2am here. I will then copy out the sh5.exe file from the cabinet viewer, copy it, rename it and add it to the steam sh5 folder whilst renaming the sh5.exe file there? So far so good right? I then patch the game using the generic patcher - the root file is program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\silenthunter 5 right? Not the usual one "ubisoft data" if you don't have steam version. After patching - I then install TWOS? I then play. Hopefully it works.... Last edited by tat501; 06-30-16 at 07:54 PM. |
