Hi CM
This looks like a classic Direct X problem.
You can download the game version here.
DirectX 9.0C

Hi k
Good question!
If you have bought your download from Amazon they will also have given you an installation key that you will need.
When the game installs it connects to Uplay you will need to set up an account.
Login
Email address
Password
Installation key number.
Important that you do not lose these details.

Hi k
The first thing to do now is to uninstall from the control panel SH5 and the Ubisoft game launcher.
Post #70 How To Use The Free Registry Cleaner 'Ccleaner' > Includes Download Link
Use the free Registry cleaner and then re-boot your system.
I install from a dvd, you are installing from a download which should not be a problem as many do this.
You should see an option to start the download from your seller, this may take some time depending on your system and routers capability.
towards the end of the installation you will see an error regarding your gpu card which can be ignored, just press the prompt key to continue.
Once the download has completed exit any open screens.
Follow this tutorial.

When the update is completed it will take you to the Uplay login screen so you can enter the necessary details.

Hi k
Can you explain exactly what you are doing, and where you are doing it from (source)
I remember buying the SH5 download from Ubisoft many years ago when the my internet connection was 512mb without any problems, just took a long time.

sry, i was away for a few days. Ok, 1rst i download the files just by clicking on the amazon icon and after it downloads files i run the game upgrade to patch. after patch i run run ubisoft game launcher and watch it download its files and upgrade. when i go into uplay to play game it does an additional 6 file download i.e VC++dist, direct X etc. after that the game goes to error message. that is it. I even tried to let uplay download game files with same ending results

Hi k
The Uplay error message is quite a common problem if it is the Windows one.
The way to get around the problem is to download a new game launcher.

to be clear, the error message i get is "silent hunter V has stopped working" which means i can't launch game. i do not find a link to download new game launcher, the post i link on only is for uplay download. Is that what you wanted me to do?

Hi k
The error message you mention is one of the ones you can get.
I have left instructions on your other post.
This will fix the problem you have.

Hi k
I would have thought from Amazon as that was where you purchased it from.
From Uplay if purchased from them.
The game updater will automatically connect to Uplay anyway to update the game version.
I must admit I have not heard of anyone previously having problems with installing downloads.

Default Help Please

Hello,
It has been a while since I ran & played SH5.
I’m running Windows 10 (64bit) – Nvidia 970 GTX 4gb – 16gb Ram & screen resolution of 1920x1080, 16:9 ratio.
I have SH5 Gold Edition installed from Uplay download. I’ve installed it on one of my other drives (not C). I only play offline.
I’ve read and followed all your SH5 tutorials & how to do it information, and set up The Game – JSGME – NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_TheDarkWraith, along with TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0 and TDW_OptionsFileEditorViewer_v_1_0_32_0. All installed correctly.
Everything seems fine to this point.
My first question is – Should I enable NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_TheDarkWraith in JSGME before I start the game for the 1st time ? or Should I run the game first and do the tutorial, save, exit, then enable the NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_TheDarkWraith mod ?.
Secondly – Could you tell me the ‘exact location’ of my manual save(s). Also the ‘exact location’ of the autosave(s). This is very confusing, even by checking the date stamp of the files. They all look very alike.
Would be obliged if you could help.
Regards lowbow.
