The unmoddable game

[Capt. Dunkel]

Hello there! Noob in distress here :) I'm sitting here trying to resist the temptation of diving my sub with all hatches open in pure frustration.
Yesterday morning I got the brilliant idea to jazz up my vanilla SH5 with a few naughty mods. First off I started reading about modding the game on this site. Apparently it was easier to install mods than to hate Justin Bieber,
and I find that pretty easy.. Well apparently not. I got a few mods in alright such as the Accurate German flags, AilWhiteInterior and Dooms Decks for VIIABC41.. Easy peasy! So I got cocky and figured I should go all in and do the complete Magnum Opus with the extra snacks it provides. Popped in to Stoianms excellente walkthrough vids and had a go (btw GREAT work, man!). Here's what i ended up with:

Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 + patch 2
Anti-Lag
Original map colors
Shadow Improvement Mod
IRAI_0_0_30_ByTheDarkWraith
FX_Update_0_0_16_2_ByTheDarkWraith
FX_Update_0_0_16_2_UHS_Fix
IRAI_0_0_30_No_hydrophone_on_surface_No_Aircraft_s potting
NewUIs_TDC_6_5_1_ByTheDarkWraith
Manos Scopes-patch for 8x5
TheDarkWraith_DC_Water_Disturbances_v2_0_SH5
Depth_Keeping_Problem_UHS_patch_HB_1_0_0_TheDarkWr aith
AirTorpedoes

Followed the Stoianm walkthrough TO THE END and no cutting corners. Overexcited I hit the shortcut to launch the game and got all the way to loading my save but after loading was completed I was sent directly to desktop and didn't even collect two grand from passing Start. I was fixin' to erupt! :damn: But I didn't. So I took a stroll around the house cussin' a bit and sat my sorry ass back down at the computer and here I am.. Please help me so I don't end up at the bottom of the Atlantic with hatches open in a bloody vanilla Silent Hunter 5 to the sad music of "MAN THE DECKGUN"...


Thank you

Most of the mods require to be installed while in bunker and even start a new campaign. You cant use an old save game as it will crash the game. So get back into the bunker and load the mods while you are there.

[Capt. Dunkel]

Oh yeah :) Forgot to mention that. Tried loading a game where I was in the bunker after ending patrol. Also tried starting a new carreer but I had CTD everytime the loading game sequence was done.

Is the game patched to 1.2 ?

[Capt. Dunkel]

:oops: Slap me silly! No, it's not :oops: Thanks man!
I've been thinking seriously hard about what might cause this and running the game updater didn't come into my head. Running updater now. Hope it does the trick :)

Uninstall the freakin mods first :O::O::O:

[Capt. Dunkel]

Oh believe me I have :) Actually I lost my head a bit earlier today and deleted the whole shabang of downloaded mods :har: So now I'm back at square 1 regarding the Stoianm walkthrough... I know, I'm stooopid but it worked magic on my mood seeing the whole folder going into the bin :D

Thanks again!

Or use a download link, like:

Manual Download link from Ubisoft: http://static3.cdn.ubi.com/sil...hunter_5_1.02_eu.exe (http://static3.cdn.ubi.com/silent_hunter_5/silent_hunter_5_1.02_eu.exe)

Still getting the same CTD as mentioned in first post :damn: I'm trying Aniuks link. Thanks.

Edit:
Solved! After running Aniuks link I was told that the game already was updated to latest version. Launched the game as "administrator" and everything went smooth..
One happy camper thanks you all for help and hints :salute:
