Hi kim
It would appear that you have a clash going on between different versions.

Go to the control panels program and features and Unistall Silent Hunter 5 and accept the prompt to delete saved games.
Also next Uninstall the Ubisoft Game Launcher.

Go to C:\Program files (x86) directory and delete the Ubisoft folder there.

Check your C:\Documents\ and make sure that there is no SH5 folder showing.

You say you have installed SH5 in your C:\Ubisoft folder.
I am assuming the path you used was C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5.

Go to C:\Ubisoft\ and delete the folder that contains your Silent Hunter 5 game.

Now use the registry cleaner.

Reboot your system.

Your cd version is the one to use to install your game.

First go to C:\Ubisoft and make a new folder called Silent Hunter 5.
Use the cd custom installation and this will give you options including where to install your game.

The default installation is C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
Use the browse button and select C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
Your game will install to that path.
If you want to install it differently then make the new path and use the browse button to find it.

You will see an error message regarding graphics near the end of the installation which you can ignore.

I installed the new U-play software As read in your tutorials


than I tried the offline mode to enter the key .... was trying to see if I could bypass being online and enter the key to my CD using "activate product"


it opened up this screen.......



I entered my code ..... and this was the result .....



Now being a user of Sh5 before darkwraith has a patcher that did away with the Up-play app .. Should I mod with sobers new Mod that recently came out ? and than run that patcher and see if that works ?

Hi kim

Should I mod with sobers new Mod that recently came out ? and than run that patcher and see if that works ?

No.
SH5 in any form has to have Uplay as it contains the game launcher and you cannot bypass it in a conventional way.

The patcher is a separte application that is not related in the same way as mods.
sobers, TWOS, WOTD mega mods will make n o difference to your current problem.

Have you done this?

There are 2 things you can try here.


Go to your game launcher folder.
Change the Uplay application to run as an administrator and then open it.
If you get the same error message use the Esc key 2 times and try again.
If that does not work.

8 files above the Uplay application is the game launcher application.
Change this application to run as an administrator and then open it.
If you get the same error message use the Esc key 2 times and try again.

If none of this works send me a PM.
