After recently moving house just before christmas ive only just setup my pc and installed my christmas present - Silent hunter 5. to my horror i find that during installation my quite new gtx 650ti boost 2gb driver is well out of date, the detection tool reports that my current driver is 132.21 and the minimum required is 191.07. however in nvidia control center/experience all i find is that my drivers are up to date 332.21. On launching the game through uplay weather online or offline all i get is the opening movie in the top left quarter and after the movie it drops back to uplay saying thanks for playing :wah::wah::wah::/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!

Im completley baffled, and thought my rig would be able to run silent hunter 5, thanks in advance for any advice :subsim:

Welcome back and aboard formally KAPITÄIN 99'999;:Kaleun_Salute:Help should arrive shortly.

Without exact specs and OS version it is hard to recommend anything past running display driver uninstaller, rebooting and reinstalling the graphics driver again. you can find the uninstaller here http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html
Also if you are running an Intel CPU with an embedded HD graphics chip make sure those drivers are also up to date.

Thanks for your reply antikristuseke.
Here are my specs

Intel q6600 2.4ghz, 4gb ram 800mhz, mobo im sure is a p35 with pcie 1.1 (CPU,mono and 2gb ov ram are all thts left of a six yr old dell) cx 750 psu, 1 tb Hdd, gtx 650ti 2gb dcu2 boost pcie 3 and win 7 64bit. My plan was to upgrade CPU, mobo and ram which may well help (ive read tht diff pcie are backwards compatible but can still cause issues) however as ive just moved all my spare cash is tied up :(. I did uninstall and reinstall drivers myself rather than GeForce expieriance doing it automatically but to no avail. I dont even have a working sh3 to fall back on :'(

Looking at that there is no integrated HD video to speak of so that is good, one step less to troubleshoot.

Anyway people with similar issues have managed to fix it by following means:
1) Reinstall directx9.0c
2) Reinstall NETframework 4.0
3) Reinstall Uplay

And a possible fix from these very same forums

thanks for your continued support antikristuseke, as i currently have some time without noisey kids im going to try your uninstaller first as i recently moved from an ati card to my current nvidia and think it would be a good first step. also wen i try to launch sh3 i get error message saying "could not load 3d engine" and thinking back some years i had same problem with sh3 but at that time i thought it best to just do clean install. probably best to do this again as i now wouldnt have sh3 without h.sie and stiebler patches, wish me luck. and also u advise reinstalling framework 4 but in sh5 installation all ive seen is framework 2?

[antikristuseke]

with sh3 directx9.0c install is your best bet at first. As for the frameworks, the redistributables are available from microsoft as downloads, I can link them while at work tomorrow, now it is time for me to get some shut eye.

[kapitain99,999]

Success, albeit only partial success the DDU uninstaller u linked me showed tht my old ati card was still showing as a device on my system, so i uninstalled with DDU restsrted loaded sh3 and it worked without any problems which im happy about. thankyou sir :rock:

After trying sh5 once and reinstalling hoping it may help the same problem still exists :(. shuteye for me too sir

[antikristuseke]

At least some progress has been made, so seems to be on the right track, I'll help as much as I can to get SH 5 runing as well, but keep me posted with what you have tried and the results.
