Default GPU Driver Roll Back To A Previous Version.

Last updated 28th April 2018
How to roll back your GPU Driver to a previous version.

If you have just experienced a black screen when starting your Silent Hunter game then a Windows update will have changed your GPU Driver to a later version.

This tutorial will show you how you can get your game back.

Picture 1 > Go to the Windows start Icon in the bottom left hand corner.


Picture 2 > Click on the Settings Icon.


Picture 3 > Click on System.



Picture 4 > Click on Display Adaptor Properties.
This will show the Adaptor Tab.


Picture 5 > Click on Properties.


Picture 6 > Change from General to Driver Tab.
The Driver Tab shows various options available to you.
Update Your Driver is worth considering as it may fix the problem.


Picture 7 > Option 3 is to Roll Back Driver.


If this is not greyed out as in the picture then this option is available to you and recommended.

The Roll back process takes less than a minute to do this.
Click on ‘Close’ to finish the process.
Restart your system.

You now need to make changes to your GPU settings as these will have been removed in the roll back process.
Got to Tutorial Post #239 to do this.

Default How To Change Your Games Renown

How To Change Your Games Renown

This tutorial will show you how to increase your Renown so you can buy more equipment without having to earn it.

This is not cheating in my opinion as new equipment would have been fitted to existing U-Boats at a convenient time as it became available.

To make these changes you need to have 2 saved games 00000000 the master and your last one.
Your last saved game means the one from your last gaming session by Date and Time.
The changes are done in the Notepad.

Follow the paths until you find each Notepad.

Follow the instructions as showing in each of the pictures.
The amount of Renown you choose to enter is entirely down to you.

Picture 1 > Example of existing Renown.


Picture 2 > Zero entered to increase Renown amount.


Picture 3 > Close the File


Picture 4 > Save the change.


You need to make all 5 changes in the same format as showing.

Default Have You A Font Size Problem With 2560 x 1440 Resolution?

Have You A Font Size Problem With 2560 x 1440 Resolution?

If your TV is in HDMI UHD Color Mode this needs to be turned off.

Change your in game Graphics Setting to 1920 x 1080 and your picture should now be fully scaled.

Default Why Does My 4K TV Show 4K At 60Hz But Only 1440P At 30Hz?

Why does my 4k TV show 4k at 60Hz but only 1440P at 30Hz?

Extracts from Internet discussions.
I have the same tv 40ub8000 and not only i can have 1080p 1440p, 1600p @60fps but i can put them at 77fps (can you say overclocking? ).

The only trick is to put your resolution at 1080p then from there create the customs resolutions.

So the ones that fit the screen the screen best are the 1080p and 1440p @77hz.

Unfortunately you cannot overclock the screen on 4k.
When you are at 1440p, the TVs information will still say it is at 1080p

I just set the resolution to 1080p and then made a custom 1440p one in the Nvidia Controll Panel and set the refresh rate to 60 and it stuck!

Play tested Assassins Creed Unity and the 1440p resolution option is now available at 60hz.

I set the AA to TXAA and it looks gorgeous and i gained 15-20 fps and saving 300-400 mb of Vram!
i have a completely different phillips 55 inch 4k TV.

Default Can't locate Scenario

Hi THEBERBSTER,

literally trying one of your tutorials for the first time (Post #10 Deck Gun Crew Testing Using TDW's NewUI) and I can't see the "Bullet Spark Test" in my list of Historical Scenarios. Am I missing some (i.e. with set up) - I followed the TWoS instructions for Steam. I've also searched the forum for "Bullet Spark Test" and only reference is in your post.

Default tried that

yes, sorry matey, If it's called that it ain't in my list. Is it a stock SH5 scenario?

The reason I ask, I followed all the Steam + TWoS install and it appears all went to plan, except when I ran the game from Steam it went through some UPlay sh*t which created a NEW sh5.exe. I was wondering if this might be the root of my problem?


Thanks for responding anyways, much appreciated.

Hi CM
You cannot run Steam with TWOS.
TWOS uses an essential application that STEAM is incompatible with.
You need to use this conversion.

Alternatively replace STEAM with a download or dvd version.

"Bullet Spark Test"
This deck gun testing is no longer available with TWOS.
If necessary go to:
C:\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\Career History
HasCompletedTutorial = false
Change false to true.
Exit and save.

You will need to disable TWOS and use a few mods with STEAM
Base mod number 3 only needed for this.

Go to Historical Missions.
You should see the 'Bullet Spark Test' in the tutorial list.

I followed that thread when installing. I have the 3 exe file (sh5_patched, sh5 which is the copy of sh5_patched and sh5_steam). When I first started SH5 from steam I assume it runs the patched exe? For me though it first ran through a UbiSoft Uplay initialisation which created a new sh5.exe. If I run anything but that UBI exe (i.e. via deleting sh5.exe and making a new one from of sh5_patched, SH crashes when loading the scenario.

Having never played SH5 before (with or without mods), I'm not sure if the UI is TWOS modded or not.

Now you should be able to run the genericpatcher and update your sh5.exe file and when you launch it from steam it wont make a difference since steam is actually only launching uplay, and uplay does not seem to care if you're running a modded file or not.
TDW's NewUi_7_4_2 and 7_5_0 versions are interfaces that allow you to talk to your crew and give orders.
This mod and the Open Horizons mod are essential along with Trevally's Tutorial mod which are the tutorials that you see in Historical Missions.

Default still not working

bought this off amazon via digital download {no disk}. Followed ur instructions and no go. My operating system is windows 7 64bit with nvidia 1025 or something like that. although, detection said i needed to update my graphics driver to 191.02 even after i upgraded my graphics card driver. Is this an online game only to which i must run through Uplay? DRM problems? How do u run ur sh5? Anyway ,any additional help would be great, cause i really like the animation i saw on you tube which prompt me to buy this simulation.Thanks

Hi k
Your Amazon download is fine for playing SH5.
Uplay controls the security of the game to make sure you are using a valid version.

If you are referring to your driver not meeting the installation requirement this will be because the installation is looking at the drivers that were available when the game was originally launched so you can ignore that.

You need to check out the following.

Post #5 Update SH5 From v1.0.5.0 To v1.2.0 Immediately After Installing

Post #74 Run Both SH5.exe And Ubisoft Game Launcher Application's As Administrator's

Post #239 Changing The Nvidia GPU Settings

Also this.
Highly Recommended SH5 > The Wolves Of Steel Mega Mod > Includes > Optional KSDCommander And Working Enigma M4 Machine > Sub Flags

Quote:
How do u run ur sh5?
You can launch the game from the SH5.exe.
You can have the SH5.exe icon in your task bar for easy access.
You can also launch the game from the Ubisoft game launcher in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\
1st game launcher icon (application).
If KSDCommander is being used then you run your game from there.

Default Dumped Steam

Hi,

I too decided to go the Amazon Digital down load (UPlay) route, it was £4, a cheap experiment (and steam are good at reimbursing).

The install went fine and I applied the TWoS Mod and then TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0. All seems OK except for missing fonts. I've attached screenshots.




(I fear your thread may have been hijacked, let me know if it's an issue and I'll create my own thread.)
