Most of the text is missing

[thryckz]

So I recently decided to give the SH series another try but I can never get a good game out of SH3/5.

I'm running the game with TWoS. Patched using GenericPatcher and I have text missing with mostly every crucial part of the game. I can't view my mission as it just says (MissionPatrol.MissionName.MissionDate, etc.). I can't talk to any of the crew members as it just says
1.
2.
3.
4.
etc

The game CTD's on startup if I use ANY compability option including Running as Admin.

Is there anyone who can pinpoint the cause for this? I've thought I narrowed it down to it being Windows 10 but I see alot of people playing SH5 on Windows 10 so I don't know.


I'm using Windows 10, GTX 1080, i5 4690k, 8gb of ram.

Hi thryckz
Check out my tutorials.
You will find fixes and how to setup your gpu.
Check out that you have the correct Direct X version 9C.

Hi t

1) Installed Silent Hunter V
2) Installed TWoS

1) Installed Silent Hunter V
Post #5 Update SH5 From v1.0.5.0 To v1.2.0 Immediately After Installing
2) Installed TWoS

Windows 10 should run SH5 ok without having to use a compatibility option.

I purchased it on uPlay so it should be automatically updated and I have the ran updater but it's already at v1.2.0.

edit: I'm going to re-install it.
-- reininstall did nothing

What's going on in historical missions?
You don't have GUI at all?

Hi thryckz
You have a graphic issue which can be caused by a number of things.
Check that you have Direct X 9C working with a new download.
DirectX 9.0C > Download

Check that your gpu settings are correctly setup for SH5
Post #239 Changing The Nvidia GPU Settings

Check that your monitor resolution and the game graphics options are set correctly.

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

Changing your SH5.exe by going to the compatibility tab and ticking the box to override high DPI scaling behavior is another option.

Hi,

Im having the same issue. Everything is patched, and i did the GPU thing you mentioned without luck. I downloaded direct x9c with the link you provided but when i try to install it it asks to designate a file path for it. Do you install it in the sh5 folder? or somewhere else?

thanks!

What issue exactly?
Haven't you notice that the solution is posted few posts above and also in TWoS faq and tips section?
Try to understand guys that you can not simply install game into locked "read only" folder and expect that your software will work properly.

Sorry for not being more specific. I'am having the same problem as the orignal poster of this thread. The issue where some texts dont appear and commands dont seem to work. Im fairly certain that it is because i failed to follow simple instructions and install direct x 9 with the game.

Id like to know if i can install direct x 9 after the installation of the base game and wolves of steel mod has already been complete. and if so, how to you go about doing this. I downloaded direct x 9 from the link the gentleman provided a few posts back and when i go to install it, it request me to designate an location to install direct x 9. my question is: Do you install direct x 9 into the silent hunter folder? Or if not where?

Thank you.

I don't think so...Again, the solution for your problem is described in post No. 17.
Cheers!
