New Laptop Problems with SH5

[Silent&deadly]

OK, so I have a new laptop but when I try to play SH5 all I get is a video which I cannot get out of unless I restart my laptop, I cannot play SH5.

My laptop specs are;

Acer Aspire F5-573G
Windows 10 Home 64-bit O/S, X64 based processor

GeForce GTX 950M

Driver Version 451.48

Intel Core i5-7200 CPU@2.50GHz(2.70GHz)

Installed Memory (RAM) 8 GB (7.87 GB usable)

Any help with this please?
I have already tried uninstalling everything then re installing everything.

What type of install - DVD? Digital Download? Vanilla or modded? Which directory was it installed in?

Which directory? It should be installed somewhere other than \Program Files\ or \Program Files (x86)


Install into a clean directory.
Uninstall Uplay (\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\. Download latest version of Uplay from Ubi website and install to same location.

Run the game - it'll start Uplay. Change Uplay settings to not automatically go online and not automatically update the game.

Run the game updater manually from \Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\Game Updater\GU.exe (or wherever you installed SH5 to).

Run the game - it should work.

Create a new folder in \Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\ called MODS. You are also now ready to install mods
