I did a search, but couldn't find any info. Any help would be appreciated.
(Also, haven't received any replayes in the Windows 10 thread, so I'm posting here)

I recently reinstalled Silent Hunter 5 (been gone for a few years). and am unable to get the game to play.:wah:

On the first try of playing the game, after a reboot, the game crashes to the desktop after the intro animation.
After the second and subsequent trys,I can select the first mission, which then loads, but immediately after the loading screen I receive the following error:

"The internet connection experiences problems and the current game session was saved. Please wait until the internet connection is restored or press OK button to return to the main menu."

My internet connection if fine. I receive the same error when I use Uplay to install the game or if I use the DVD to install the game.
I have tried using Uplay in Offline mode, ran Uplay and the Silent Hunter 5 EXE in compatibility mode with admin privileges.
All will no luck getting the game to run.

My system is running Windows 10.
Silent Hunter 5 ver 1.20
No mods....yet

Fixed my issue.
I had 27 TAP Adapters installed!!

I followed the steps here (https://superuser.com/questions/790891/i-have-lots-of-tap-win32-adapter-oas-and-tap-windows-adapter-v9) which uninstalled all of them.

I was them able to get the game to work.

See you all in the North Atlantic!

(I'll post this in the other thread also)
