I'm going to apologise as I'm sure this has probably been answered several times, but I haven't found any real answers so far!
The problem is, I was trying to mod Silent Hunter 5 with the Magnum Opus MegaMod, but this requires the game to be patched to v1.2.
Now I only bought the game a few weeks ago and have read online that Ubi aren't going to be releasing any more patches for the game. I'm currently running at v1.05.
For some reason, Ubi Game Launcher will not update SH5 for me. It updated itself and the game at intial install both times, but nothing else. I can load up Ubi GL and wait and wait, and nothing happens.
So, instead I tried to launch the Game Updater found in the Support folder of the install directory. This fails to start, stating registry errors which I simply don't have.
Instead, I manually downloaded the patch off the interweb, hoping this would be a work around. :Kaleun_Salivating: But after starting the executable it simply states that no version of Silent Hunter is installed! :damn:
Also, the program listed under the Control Panel runs at version 1.0.0.. when in-game it read 1.0.5 :Kaleun_Mad:
I've tried loading Magnum Opus onto my current version - starts fine.. but when I try to load any type of save, historical mission or campaign, it simply CTD and I get the Ubi Game Launcher after report kinda thing coming up, saying how long I'd played and my current rewards. And yes, I did try uninstall my Visual C++ redistrubutables to no success. Infact, it took a whole clean install of the game to even get it to work properly again.
I've read that this game is enhanced so much by the mods, so obviously I'm really disappointed that I can't use any MegaMods..
