Wolwes of Steel Blackscreen

[GorkanCzech]

I returned to silent hunter after long Absence and Downloaded Wolwes of steel mod. the problem is SH V with mod will launch load and then blackscreen. I hear music play but screen stays black and it in task manager it says that it is unresponsive. Normal Silent Hunter V works. Any ideas for solution ?

What GPU card do you have? If it's NVidia, then...

Go in Nvidia Panel and set the scaling options to "Fullscreen" at "Display" or "GPU".

Also take the SH5 icon, right-click > Properties > Compatibility > Check the box 'Run as Admin'.

Still the game takes a lot of time to load if you use TWoS, the screen can turn black, just wait until you are in your sub WITHOUT moving the mouse.

If you see the TWOS loading screen for a few moments and your screen goes black then that is not a problem.
Depending on your system will determine how long it takes TWOS to get to the main menu.

If you have sound and no picture then you have a gpu problem caused by a Microsoft Windows 10 update.
Check this out as one of these fixes should work.

The first thing to do is check your gpu settings.

Check that you have Direct X version 9C installed as your game needs this specific version.

Hi GC
Windows 7 is not a problem with SH5.
You could also try making a change to the in game graphics and seeing whether the vertical syc box is ticked or not.
Your problem seems to be a driver one.
You need to set your scaling to GPU and aspect ratio,
The terminology might be different for Ati GPU's
It might be worth seeing if you can roll back to a previous driver.

If you are plugged to monitor with HDMI cable, then change to DVI-D or DSUB cable. Try this first.

As a stock game of SH5 you have the version 1.2.0 or you have patched it to that version; and you are running in admin mode, right? If it doesn't start here then don't even try to mod the game, you must first resolve.

Your GPU card is ok to run, what is your processor and RAM (but should be ok too with this card).

The game going to main menu without crashing (without ending sh5.exe in the task manager process) is most likely due to bad scaling settings, you should resolve quickly by going in the your ATI settings, set everything to default, and then try similar settings told above.
SH5 fully supports widescreen resolutions and advanced grafic settings, and Win7 is the adequate OS for it, I can hardly imagine any other reason, except here below.

Do you have other programs running when you start SH5, check this in the task manager by sorting the entries by RAM and Processor load; you may have to end non-OS processes.
What about your anti-virus: has it a gaming mode? Make sure you turn this on. Is it scanning in real-time? If yes turn this off. Best is to switch off completly antivirus and go offline before starting SH5.

Not sure what you mean with cable.

Procesor being Intel I7.
Ram being 8GB

I did everything in the below tab.

Edit:Fixed it. Something got stuck in registry, had to wipe registry of any mention of silent hunter Now it Crashes 1in 3. But it loads in other 2 if im patient and no other apps are active.(it ets like 6GB.) not working as it should but it does somewhat. Finally

1 in 3 ??

Now that you have (likely) located the problem, I would completely uninstall the game, delete all folders, open the registry and delete this key if still there:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Ubisoft\Si lent Hunter 5

Then re-install all again fresh.
Problem is I don't know about the U-Play crap, I've done so I don't have trouble in this regard.

Hi GC
Make sure you use a registry cleaner before re-installing.

You can use it every day to clear the crap out before shutting down at night.
